Infant mortality rate/life expectancy

The waterborne disease is mostly spread out in northeast India. Gajrawedi has the highest rate (21-27) per 10000 people. The lowest rate (00-06) is in the west side of India, Subhanpura, and Sayajigunj. Cities like Raopura, Shiyabaug, and Sidhvaimata road have a mid-range rate of infections.

The sanitation in northeast India may not be clean, therefore, the water may be contaminated while transporting it, resulting in an unstable water supply.

Areas with a high infection rate may have less affluent and probably don’t provide any facility to purify or filtrate the water.
