Introduction: Waterborne diseases continue to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Despite efforts to improve water access and sanitation, many communities still suffer from diseases caused by contaminated water. This study evaluates community-based water purification strategies aimed at reducing the burden of waterborne diseases.Objective: To assess the effectiveness of different water purification strategies in reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases among 220 individuals in a community setting.Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 220 participants, comparing health outcomes before and after the implementation of community-based water purification strategies, such as filtration, chlorination, and boiling.Results: A significant reduction in waterborne diseases was observed following the introduction of water purification methods, with chlorination showing the highest effectiveness in disease reduction.Conclusion: Community-based water purification strategies are effective in reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases and should be widely implemented in resource-limited settings. |
