Resilience Against Impacts of Climate Change- Water Management

Poor sanitation management can cause seepage from sewage into groundwater. The contaminated groundwater then becomes the main cause of diseases such as throat infection, fever and skin diseases. The access to clean water is a key direct factor in enhancing the resilience of slum dwellers against the consequences of climate change (temperature rise, water borne diseases, extreme flood events).
