This is a video explaining the importance of clean water, why we should care, and what we can do to help bring cleaner water to others.

Unclean drinking and recreational water exposure has accounted for many outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis, which is an important cause of epidemic diarrhea in the general population and can be an untreatable severe or life-threatening infection in immunosuppressed individuals. Because low levels of Cryptosporidium oocysts have been detected in 65%–97% of surface-water supplies, there is concern that most populations may be at risk for waterborne infection. Knowledge on transmission routes, water-based diseases and their preventions is inadequate, which is why you should spread information about water-based diseases and their preventions. As well as this, you should treat your water. There are a variety of simple and helpful solutions, such as solar disinfection in clear plastic bottles and chlorination plus storage in an improved vessel.

My goal for this video was to spread awareness about transmission routes, water-based diseases, and their preventions. We hope that people use these solutions to treat home water, as well as use this knowledge to treat water in public facilities, such as parks. Please like, comment, and subscribe.
