Global changes have had a major impact on vector borne diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, infections by other arboviruses and many others that have been observed for the past few years. Global changes encompass a wide range of factors including climate change and variability, land use, water storage and irrigation, and human population. In addition to vector borne diseases, climate change has also have a huge affect on infectious, water-related disease. This research is focused primarily on the effects of water storage and system on human vulnerability to disease. The research will provide strong facts and evidence, which will better define the different water management practices that follow water policy regulation to promote clean and safe water for the community. The goal of the research is to find more solutions to prevent potential water borne diseases that results from contaminated water and excessive amount of chemical treatments to promote better public health.
