Health hazards from water development schemes
- Spread of disease due to water impoundment
- Adverse health effects of water resources development
- Health hazards from water storage projects
- Health hazards from irrigation schemes
Nature
In the planning, design and operation of irrigation, drainage and other water development schemes, there is a need to incorporate measures for the control of vector-borne diseases (e.g. schistosomiasis and malaria). This problem is partly caused by a lack of cooperation between health and engineering sciences.
