1. Read the following passage and answer these questions.

Clean water supplies are essential for good health and cleanliness in the home .Often the

only source of drinking water is polluted .More than 70 per cent of rural households have no

safe drinking water .Their supplies are often carried some distance from a river ,pond or well,

or a community pump or tap. Carrying water takes time and energy. For these reasons,

water is often kept in the house for a long time and, of necessity, it is rationed carefully.

Several diseases are spread by polluted water, these include diarrhoea,

cholera and typhoid Families using water from uncovered ponds or wells are likely to suffer

more frequently from all these infections than those whose water comes from protected

sites. An adequate supply of water is also needed for personal cleanliness and general

hygiene in the home. Health workers should encourage the provision of good household

water supplies as much as possible.

If there is no tap, the main water container must be kept clean, covered and

free from debris. Overnight storage in earthen ware vessels reduces the number of bacteria

in the water. Nevertheless, it is important that any water given to infants is first boiled. After

boiling it should be covered in the same container until it is cool enough to drink.
