Lakes, Rivers And Nasty Infections

Water For Life

Available for over a year

The world's lakes and rivers also provide home to many diseases including bilharzia. The programme looks at the ignorance around diseases such as bilharzia, which can be caught by swimming or walking in water used for sewage. Other water-borne diseases include guinea worm, which can be caught by drinking infected water. Education programmes have already reduced those infected.
