The chosen goal
Clean Water and Healthy Life
Meaning of the goal
The goal of clean water and healthy
life is picked for analysis. This goal reflects the relatability of the 3rd
and 6th Sustainable Development Goals. Water is a basic need in many
application areas such as domestic use for cooking, cleaning, drinking, and maintaining
good hygiene and sanitation. Safe water is essential for the promotion of good
health and well-being. This goal, therefore, emphasizes that the 3rd
and 6th SDGs should be carried out simultaneously as the prevention
of certain diseases is possible also by ensuring that people in their various
needs get access to safe water.
Importance of the goal
The SDGs are relatable as the
actuation of the individual goals impacts others in some way. The 3rd
and 6th SDGs are one such phenomenon. In the prevention of deaths by
preventable diseases, water is essential as a commodity as its access and
quality are paramount in the pursuit and maintenance of conditions that are
hygienic for the attainment of good health. The two goals may be emphasized in
having industries and other sectors that utilize water to ensure that they are
mindful of the society around them by ensuring that they are not denied access
to safe water in any form. According to the 2022 progress report, more than 500
million people got infected with the coronavirus. The coronavirus is an infection
that can be controlled by lessening contact with infected people and surfaces. The
use of soap and water has been established to be helpful in the reduction of
coronavirus infections. Baye in a study of Ethiopia reflects on the access to
water, sanitation, and hygiene and its impact on the fight against the spread
of coronavirus infections (2020).
