Water Quality and Human Health

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Climate Impacts on Water Resources in India

Part of the book series: Water Science and Technology Library ((WSTL,volume 95))

Abstract

Availability of fresh water has always been an important factor impacting human population and civilizations. However, with the growth of population and economy, the pollution from anthropogenic activities is degrading the quality of water. The degradation in water quality is affecting the health of mankind and ecosystem. It is benign to understand the water quality parameters impacting the human health for judicious management of water quality. This chapter discusses about the significance of water quality parameter impacting the drinking water from aesthetic, health, and operational point of view, methods of analysis, and treatment techniques for reducing the contaminants.
