This lecture delves into the dynamics and control of waterborne diseases, focusing on the fair distribution of water resources. It covers topics such as the SIR model for disease evolution, stability conditions, and the impact of factors like population density and social inequalities. The instructor discusses the endemic and epidemic dynamics of cholera, the role of the aquatic reservoir, and the mathematical models used to study long-term disease dynamics. The lecture also explores the spatial epidemiology of waterborne diseases, human mobility patterns, and the correlation between environmental factors and disease outbreaks.
