Protecting the health of Rural Communities with Safe Water.
Fluoride Contamination
in Water
Health Impact:
Dental fluorosis (brown/yellow mottling of teeth).
Skeletal fluorosis
(joint stiffness, bone deformities, crippling effects).
Nitrate Contamination
in Water
Health Impact:
Infants: Causes Methemoglobinemia ("blue baby syndrome") - reduced oxygen transport in blood.
Adults: Long-term exposure linked to gastric cancer, hypertension, central nervous system and cardiovascular problems.
High Salinity in Water
Health Impact:
Very high hardness may contribute to urinary stones, kidney/bladder problems, stomach disorders.
Reduces potability, worsen renal/ cardiac conditions.
Parasites
Health Impact:
Groundwater often causes illnesses such as cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, and amoebiasis, especially in areas with inadequate water treatment.
Viruses
Health Impact:
Found in contaminated water and causes illnesses like hepatitis A, gastroenteritis (norovirus), and poliomyelitis.
Bacteria
Health Impact:
Microorganisms from fecal matter of humans and animals that cause diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, and diarrhea.
