Around 83% of diseases in Mumbai are water-borne: Survey

Mumbai: With monsoon at its peak, water contamination is the biggest issue for households as nearly 83 per cent diseases are in the city being water borne, according to a survey. “Due to increasing levels of water contamination, five out of every 10 respondents surveyed had someone in their  family and friends falling sick in the last one year. Water borne diseases, a critical cause of concern across cities, have accounted for nearly 83 per cent of all diseases severely affecting people’s health in Mumbai,” the Eureka Forbes-GFK survey said.
