The conditions necessary for health, such as providing clean drinking water and the safe disposal of sewage.
Sanitation
It is the process by which infiltrated water flow through rocks.
Ground water flow
This type of diseases are illnesses caused by organisms that breed in water.
Water-bred disease
A discharge of liquid waste
Effluent
Removal of salt from saline water
Desalination
It is the process by which plants release water vapor from their leaves into the atmosphere through stomata.
Transpiration
This is the process by which water runs over the ground into nearby water bodies.
Surface runoff
This is a microorganism, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, that causes disease in humans, animals, or plants.
Pathogen
Precipitation with a low pH, caused by pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which mix with water vapor in the atmosphere, leading to harmful effects on ecosystems, buildings, and water bodies known as
Acid rain
Adding chlorine-based substances to water
Chlorination
It is the process where vegetation, like leaves and branches, captures and temporarily holds precipitation before it reaches the ground.
Interception
Water stored in porous rocks under the ground
Aquifer
It is an organism, typically an insect or animal, that transmits pathogens from one host to another.
Vector
It is the gradual death of plant tissues, starting from the tips of branches or roots, often due to disease, pests, or environmental stress.
Dieback
It is the process of separating solid particles from a liquid or gas by passing it through a filter, which traps the particles while allowing the fluid to pass through.
Filtration
This is a process by which infiltrated water flows through the soil.
Through flow
A situation in which there is simply not enough water for human use.
Physical water scarcity
The illnesses caused by consuming or coming into contact with contaminated water.
Waterborne diseases
This is the increasing concentration of toxic substances as they move up the food chain.
Biomagnification
Sewage treatment plant
This is the process by which water seeps into the ground.
Infiltration
A situation in which there is enough water available but due to economic backwardness it is impossible to get enough water for the need.
Economic water scarcity
Name the parasite of Malaria
Plasmodium
This is the process where excess nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, enter water bodies, causing excessive algae blooms and oxygen depletion, which can harm aquatic life.
Eutrophication
This is the process where concentrated saltwater (brine) is released back into the sea.
Brine rejection
