The provision of uncontaminated water, sufficient sanitation facilities, and appropriate hygiene behaviours is an essential entitlement of every individual and plays a crucial role in promoting worldwide health and overall welfare. The interconnection between water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) exerts a significant influence on the health outcomes of global societies. This study examines the complex relationship between water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) within the framework of global health. It specifically highlights the difficulties, prospects, and capacity for significant change that this relationship presents. In a global context characterised by enduring issues such as limited access to water resources, insufficient sanitation infrastructure, and suboptimal hygiene practises, the demand for creative and groundbreaking remedies has become increasingly urgent. This study explores the various complex aspects of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), analysing its direct and indirect influence on health, nutrition, education, and economic advancement. The significance of AquaLives lies in emphasising the pressing need to accomplish the targets set by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) pertaining to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) within the timeframe of 2030. This study analyses case studies and best practises from different countries, providing insights into effective strategies that can potentially revolutionise communities’ access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education. this research study explores the interconnections between Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives and the growing global health concerns, including the readiness for pandemics and the adaptation to climate change. AquaLives aims to foster a revitalised dedication to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) as a fundamental pillar of worldwide public health. The statement underscores the importance of fostering joint endeavours, promoting policy innovation, and augmenting investments in infrastructure and education.

In Iraq, an extensive network of pipelines is of vital importance for the transportation of hydrocarbon products, drinking water, and crude oil through the pipelines. The underground infrastructures experience corrosion processes, which therefore requires keeping up with the application of protective measures. This is a simulation survey that takes into account the cathodic protection optimization to reduce such hazards. Employing the Wenner four-terminal method enabled assessment of elements that affect cathodic protection such as environmental factors and soil resistivity across selected sites for the surveys. Soil pH ranges within the range of 7-8, together with anode voltage and current readings were the basis of the simulation models. These models played a crucial role in predicting the best anode locations, operating voltages and currents for various conditions and by comparing the results with empirical data from field experiments it is easy to evaluate the results. The analysis of rectifier voltage, the number of anodes, the anode resistance, and the pipeline current led to the production of the most cost-efficient designs for pipeline protection. Thus, as a result, a segment at station number 2 requires 2.5A current for its protection over the same length and a segment at station number 4 needs 12A current for its protection. Through the integration of simulation outcomes with the field observation the study highlights the accuracy and efficiency of the modeled cathodic protection systems that substantiate their fundamental role in the sustainable management of the pipeline. The results reached in this study add a great deal to this body of knowledge on the subject of subterranean structure preservation, showing this paradigm for the design and optimization of cathodic protection systems against corrosion and erosion which ensures the durability and reliability of pipeline networks.
