Abstract
Waters generally contain a mixture of pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms. A number of viruses, bacteria and protozoa associated with more severe health outcomes may plausibly be transmitted through use of contaminated water. A study was carried out in Adimalathura (Thiruvananthapuram District, Kerala, India) a small village for three months(may-august 2011). During the period of monsoon the patients were reported with Typhoid, dysentery, amoebiasis, acute diarrohea diseases.
