ABSTRACT
”Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink”

- Samuel Taylor Coleridge, ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’

Water, comprising 75% of the Earth, is vital for our survival, constituting over half of our bodies. Yet, despite its importance, water remains an underappreciated aspect of human health. Insufficient water intake and contaminated water sources pose significant health challenges. From historical incidents of waterborne disease like cholera in London to modern cases of water pollution, the consequences of inadequate water access are profound. To understand and address the global water crisis, it is crucial to explore the historical significance of water and medicine, as well as its present-day implications.
