| | Potable Water and Pakistan |
 | | This means that most people are forced to use unclean water not only for all their sanitation needs, farming, and livestock but for drinking as well. |
 | | It may be a nearby river or pond, maybe rain water from a catch basin or a creek. |
 | | Drinking water that is unsafe can, and usually does, lead to all sorts of health-related problems such as dysentery which is severe, prolonged diarrhea with bloody stools, fever, and weakness; cholera and typhoid; flukes -- stagnant, polluted water, especially in tropical areas, often contains blood flukes. |
