Headline Water in the WHO region of the Americas

Description Health and progress was the central theme of a special issue of World Health devoted to Latin America. It showed the mutual dependence of the various components of well-being, in which health as a social service was included. It also stressed that only harmonious planned development could bring about progress. The problem of safe water was an important one. There was plenty of good water all over the Americas - the question was one of bringing it where it was needed. Unclean water being usually readily available, people tended to consider free water part of their birth right; they couldn't easily be convinced that they ought to make sacrifice for quality water.

The modern water purification plant serves many users who may or may not have water piped into their homes.
