水是生命的基本必需品;灾害是生活中的不幸事实。灾害医学中水与人类健康的关系是科学研究的一个重要领域，因为灾害的发生率及其对人类的不利影响在全世界呈指数级增长。无论是威胁生命的缺水（干旱）、过剩（洪水、海啸和风暴潮）还是因灾害而被污染，水都可能对已经处于困境的人口的健康产生非常重大的影响。在这两篇文章的第二篇中，讨论了与灾害有关的水污染的影响。建议提供，以改善水安全的灾害预防，这是特别是在发展中国家的问题。
Water is a quintessential necessity of life; disasters are an unfortunate fact of life. The nexus of water and human health in Disaster Medicine is an important area of scientific inquiry because the incidence of disasters and their adverse effects on human populations are increasing exponentially worldwide. Whether it is in life-threatening short supply (drought), overabundance (floods, tsunamis and storm surges) or contaminated as a result of a disaster, water can have highly significant health effects on already distressed populations. In this, the second of two articles, the effects of disaster-related water contamination are discussed. Recommendations are offered to improve water security in disaster preparedness—something that is especially problematic in the developing world.
