Public health is currently facing several difficulties. The global impact of climate change is intensifying. Consequently, several problems have developed regarding human health and water resources. Globally, natural water resources are frequently insufficient and cannot keep up with the rising demand of at least the previous 50 years. Research should choose targets perspicaciously in order to thoroughly detect and examine emerging water resources issues, which have developed owing to both human involvement and climate change. Water management is a matter of great contention. With water resources already universally in jeopardy, their control will have tremendous consequences for public health. In view of the fact that humanity is going through the post-pandemic era, or even the emergence of a new pandemic, it is vital that water resources along with climate change be assessed to determine the magnitude of the threat they pose to public health.
