Clean water refers to water that is safe for drinking and free from pollutants, contaminants, or disease-causing organisms.
Waterborne Diseases: These are diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms that most commonly are transmitted in contaminated fresh water. Like how a storm can suddenly appear in our clear sky analogy and cause problems.
Water Treatment: The process of making water suitable for its application or returning it to its natural state. It's like having a team of cleaners who ensure the sky stays clear by removing any pollution.
Water Pollution: The contamination of water bodies (like lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers) often due to human activities. This would be like factories releasing smoke into our clear sky analogy.
