Abstract

Water-borne infections, which are spread by tainted water sources, have long been a serious health risk, especially in areas where water quality is poor. This study highlights the connection between environmental and human well-being by examining the complex relationship between the prevalence of water-borne illnesses and the health of aquatic ecosystems. Degradation of ecosystems, which includes pollution, habitat loss, and climate change, makes it easier for pathogens to spread in water bodies, raising the risk of illnesses like cholera, dysentery, and typhoid fever. To demonstrate how ecosystem health directly affects the availability of clean water and the spread of diseases, this study will look at case studies and the most recent scientific findings. This study offers a comprehensive approach to public health protection by highlighting the significance of ecosystem restoration and sustainable water management practices in preventing water-borne illnesses. Subsequently, to build resilient communities and enhance global health outcomes, it is critical to recognize and address the connections between the health of aquatic ecosystems and human well-being.
