There are parts of the world however, where people are not so fortunate and have to walk miles each day to gather drinking water often in intense heat.If people in third-world countries are fortunate enough they may have a faucet that provides fresh water from a well below, built by various charities that help causes such as this to provide more sanitised conditions as to avoid disease. In most circumstances however, a hole has been dug where water was found to be and is drank as it is found. The problem with drinking untreated water is not only the diseases it can cause but also the parasites people risk ingesting also.Possibly one of the worst parasites is schistosomiasis which is when people come into contact with the fresh water that snails that carry this disease are living in.
