Thiruvallur town in Tamil Nadu depend on septic tanks as underground sewarge system is yet to be completed. The effect of septic tanks on ground water quality is studied to identify possible water bourne deceases with 1:500 GIS of the town, with mapping of each house hold, sewerage lines, septic tanks ground water wells, over head tanks, water bodies etc. The water bourne deceases in this area in summer are identified for fifty GPS points with culture tests with atleast one more set of data in summer and another after rains. The larva of Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, is a mosquito that can spread dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika fever, Mayaro and yellow fever viruses breeds in fresh water collected in container to old tyres, bushes, fresh water pits. The other water borne deseases spread by Vector, Bacteraial infections, skin deseases etc from the dirty water from open sewarge lines and drains. The conatminaed kitchen waster in open drains breeds various pathogens. The Medical teams in Thiruvallur have successfully solving this issue by strengthening immune system by the natural malai, vembu, leaf water etc apart from timely vaccination. As completing under ground drainage system may take a year or two in part of study area the over head tanks may be provided with small cameras to watch and clean in time to prevent vector born deceases. Sensors network may be created linking septic tanks to warn the residents to remove sewerage, and to replace leaky tanks. Removing all unwanted things which can hold good water which breeds Dengue Aedes aegypti in June to August every year, unnecessary plants which provide breeding space for Dengue and allied mosquitos. The residents can get help from Govt hospitals for preventive care, immunization without wasting time. The Geo spatial net work with hospital will be a tool to monitor water borne deceases. Delay in diagnosis or treatment has taken away monarch like Akbar who succumbed water borne desease, "Dysentery". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
