The water environment plays a prominent role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Water discharges from hospitals and animal farms are hotspots harbouring antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) genes (ARGs). From this discharge, ARB can be further transmitted via bodies, including river used for drinking, hygiene, recreational activities, posing risks to community. Although AMR surveillance primarily focuses on clinical agricultural settings, monitoring drinking system has been neglected. Studies worldwide have shown presence supplies. However, not yet recognised as parameter quality. Research systems is still lacking many countries, highlighting urgent need public health action importance guiding policymakers towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 6: “Clean & Sanitation” 3: “Good wellbeing”. Therefore, it crucial address gap by providing more evidence systems, worldwide. Here, we discussed challenges implications AMR, emphasising occurrence ARB, ARGs antibiotics residues system, well recommendations policy management reduce risks.
