Whether poor countries or rich countries are not spared. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy a clean and safe water is not only a basic human need, is also a fundamental human right.
Potential health effects
Water is the spread of pathogens, including common channel bacteria, viruses, parasites that can be hazardous to health and the environment of other substances. The most common water-borne diseases through diarrhea. Among the most familiar of the disease caused by the former include Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter bacteria, rotavirus, enterovirus and Giardia. These pathogens cause gastroenteritis main symptoms, such as transient diarrhea, abdominal pain and vomiting, the disease is usually mild, but how much, may make the number of people affected by different types of pathogens and the number of different, Sometimes the number of individuals affected, and sometimes even affect the entire community; and route of infection include direct drinking contaminated water, or use of these contaminated water to use for washing or preparing food or drink.
Some naturally occurring chemicals in the water to maintain good health is very important, but if more than a certain concentration, it may be harmful. For example, fluoride is an important component of bones and teeth structure; insufficient intake of fluoride can increase the chance of suffering from tooth decay, but excessive intake of fluoride but it will lead to the teeth spots, and even lead to skeletal fluorosis.
Water security measures to protect existing government food
To ensure that all the quality of potable water, raw water from any source in the water treatment plant will be a series of strict processing procedures, and then supplied to the user, has a comprehensive water quality monitoring systems, and will be taken from the water supply system in different places representative water samples for chemical, bacteriological, biological, and radiological aspects of testing to ensure that the water quality in the above aspects are in line with Drinking Water Quality recommended by World Health Organization guidelines.

To ensure that there is an endless supply of safe and potable water use, the public can:
- Use of washing machine or dishwasher to conserve water, collect as much as possible one-off washing clothes or dishes.
- The use of water-saving devices, such as high water efficient shower heads, faucets and dual flush tanks, and pay attention to water efficiency label.
- Do not directly wash the vehicle hose shall be contained in a bucket filled with water and cloth to clean the body.
- When washing dishes or vegetables, it not long opens the tap.
- Immediate repair dripping faucets and hoses.
