Abstract

Climatic change has a great impact on the water cyclus, impacts on water resources, the frequency and intensity of floods because of high rainfall, the natural environment and human health. In this article, a survey of the effect of climatic change on waterborne diseases. Materials and Methods The keywords "climate change", "waterborne diseases" were used in combination with "or" and "and" by performing electronic searches on Google and Google Scholar. The search was operated with a publication year insulate among January 2019 and October 2020. Results: Of the 34 articles collected, 19 articles were excluded because they had no correlation, while 15 articles were submitted and met the inclusion criteria. The literature reviewed shows that, most of the research has been carried out in wealthy countries, and approximation of the effect of climatic change on waterborne diseases are uncertain for the following reasons: 1) Hesitation about the spread of disease through climate change due to changing rainfall patterns 2) Hesitation about direct and indirect connection among climatic and human health 3) Hesitation about the connection among climatic and waterborne diseases as a consequence of changes in health. Conclusion: The hesitation in this estimate has led to little research in this regard.
