Assesment of the Relation between Diarrhea Cases and Water Intended for Drinking and Consumption

Abstract

Environment, as a system of survival, includes the habitat and conditions where an organism can exist. Water, food and shelter are the most important components of this system. Considering the human’s continuous interaction with his/her environment, it is a fact that problems occurring in these components of environment will have a direct impact on human being. Therefore, water contamination has historically become one of the critical matters that have a direct influence on human health.
