Prevalence of water-borne diseases in western India: dependency on the quality of potable water and personal hygiene practices

Unlike urban and semi-urban settlements where the potable water is supplied through a water treatment plant and a distribution network, in rural low-income settings, the provision of the water treatment plant for all villages is not feasible for a developing country like India. The most affordable a...
