Abstract

Author(s): Bacalini Maria*

Access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) is a fundamental human right and essential for public health. However, many communities around the world still lack access to these basic necessities, which can lead to a variety of health problems and a reduced quality of life. In this review article, we will explore the concept of sustainability of water, sanitation, and hygiene, and its importance in ensuring access to these essential resources for all. Looking back at the history of water, sanitation, and hygiene can help us understand the challenges and opportunities of these issues and draw lessons to achieve sustainable development in the future. Throughout history, civilizations have successfully experimented with treating water and using it for drinking, sanitation, and agriculture. For example, the Hygiene in ancient Rome was promoted by the famous public baths and toilets, which were supplied with water through widely branched aqueducts that had a high standard of cleanliness for the time and were regularly maintained.
