Currently in India, the availability and quality of clean water
adversely affects the populace. As the population of India grows, the lack of
clean water will have enormous human health implications. It is thus important
to understand the factors, diseases and public health policies surrounding
water quality throughout India. This will help to guide the feasibility of
implementing certain technologies and/or population and public health policies
to improve human health. The intern will have a key role in evaluating local water quality and implications for the continued strengthening and development of public health programs in Indian community where the internship takes place. The experience of the internships and knowledge gained in India will be integrated into Queen's initiative to coordinate existing research and international development initiatives into the emerging population and public health program with the view to strengthening our undergraduate and graduate programs and research capacity. In Canada - Conduct a through literature review of relevant research material - Familiarize him/herself with the various facets of the social relation of Water Quality to Health. Overseas - Be involved in assessment of local water quality using standardized field collection and analysis techniques (both ground and surface waters) - Develop a document summarizing water quality standards and projected improvements to standards - Assess current health problems associated with contaminated waters - Evaluate "grass-root" initiatives that can improve delivery of fresh water to communities - Evaluate conventional treatment process which may enable provision if improved water quality - Develop guidelines for source water protection for local region based on local issues |
