An increasing recognition of the need to understand the complex
systems in the health sector has raised the demand for an
examination of water and health from a systemic perspective.
Analyzing the various discourses on the subject, the volume
revolves around this central question: What are the linkages
between water and health in South Asia? The interlacing of water
and health exists wherever human health is adversely affected,
directly or indirectly, by changes in the quality and quantity of
water. These adverse effects are linked with poverty, environment,
and infrastructure in the overall socio-political and
economic-developmental context. The book looks at the linkage
between water and health in an integrated manner, and is not based
on the 'absence of disease' syndrome. The curative, preventive, and
adaptive aspects of the public-health problem have also been delved
into. Among other areas, the articles deal with water and health
with reference to water supply, sanitation, water pollution,
natural disasters, urbanization, and industrialization. Armed with
the latest research and case studies from South Asia, the book
calls for a comprehensive understanding and better integration of
water and health issues in the region. Interlacing Water and Human
Health is the third volume in the Water in South Asia Series
published by SAGE and South Asia Consortium for Interdisciplinary
Water Resources Studies (SaciWATERs).
