This study investigates the incidence and effects of water pollution on the residents of Ekeremor Local Government Area (LGA) Bayelsa Nigeria. Ekeremor LGA, located in the Niger Delta region, is characterized by its heavy reliance on water bodies for drinking water, agriculture, and fishing, making it highly susceptible to water pollution. The research employs a multi-faceted approach, combining field surveys, water quality assessments, health impact assessments, and economic analyses to comprehensively understand the extent and consequences of water pollution in the region. The findings reveal a disturbing prevalence of water pollution in Ekeremor LGA, primarily driven by poor waste domestic waste management, oil exploration activities, improper waste disposal, and agricultural runoff. The health effects of water pollution in the area are significant, with a rise in waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and gastroenteritis. Residents, particularly children and the elderly are at higher risk of suffering from these diseases due to their compromised immune systems. Furthermore, the economic ramifications are evident, as medical expenses related to waterborne illnesses strain household budgets, and lost productivity due to sickness affects the local economy. This study underscores the urgent need for effective water pollution mitigation strategies in Ekeremor LGA, including improved waste management practices, stricter environmental regulations, and increased community awareness. The findings emphasize the importance of safeguarding water resources for both public health and economic prosperity in this region. Addressing water pollution in Ekeremor LGA is crucial not only for the well-being of its residents but also for the sustainable development of the entire community....Preview Download Preview +Other Health Information Management project topics and materials you might be interested in»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling»Evaluation of the problems and constraints facing health record keeping and professionals»Impact of health information management in healthcare delivery»Assessment of challenges of health information management practice in General Hospital Ilorin, Kwara State»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling patients health records in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara state»A study into causes of misfiling among health information management professionals in health records department - case study of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara state»Evaluation of confidentiality of patient health records among hospital staff»Factors militating against effective documentation in health care delivery system in University of Benin Teaching Hospital Benin City, Edo state»Effect of lack of health information computerization in the primary health care system»Evaluation of patient appointment system - a case study of university of Ilorin teaching hospital»Causes and consequences of breach of confidentiality of patient health information in Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos state»Impact of health statistics in the health care delivery system at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State»Impact of electronic medical records on patients waiting time in health care delivery system in Federal Medical Center, Asaba, Delta state»Evaluation of the importance of health information management in primary health care»Knowledge and perception of health information management professionals on electronic coding for quality clinical data in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara state
