新西兰大学论文：贫民窟用水问题
The people who are living in the slums do not have a proper mechanism for the drainage and disposal of waste water. There are no drainage pipes and people are forced to throw the waste water in open. This further impacts the slums and creates a further degrading situation to live in. In addition to this, there is a continuous danger for the seepage of the water from the sewer lines in the open. This is because many pipe lines which are installed for sewer draining in this area are corroded. In case there is a leakage in the sewer lines, a big health issue may occur. In addition to this, there are a number of other issues such as the polluted ponds and the water ways, improper sewage disposal or open sewage, poor personal hygiene and the lack of proper education and awareness for the environment. Thus the people are not concerned about the proper sanitation. It has been found that around 35 % -45 % people of the families who are living in the slums have at least one member who is suffering from one or another disease such as Diarrhoea, trachoma, malaria, tuberculosis etc.
