Access to adequate water
in quantity and quality affects maternal health by reducing labor burdens and health problems resulting from water portage;
improving nutrition which reduces the susceptibility to anemia and other
conditions that affect maternal mortality; and malaria is particularly
dangerous to pregnant women, and better water management reduces mosquito
habitats. Thus water available to women
affect their health and maternal health problems impacts and prevent the proper
care of children, undermining development efforts. Additionally, educated women with access to
adequate resources are better able to care for themselves. Thus, meeting the
MDGs for education and women’s empowerment by improving the management of water
has a positive impact on maternal health
Most water related diseases effects impact negatively maternal health and, thus, must be considered
as an integral part of the necessary strategies in order to achieve this goal
