Abstract
Access to uncontaminated water in sufficient quantities may be the most important requirement for healthy human societies. However, the relationship between the water supply in developing countries and the health of citizens is complex since the relationship is dependent on the provision of both appropriate quantities and quality of water. Attempts to understand this relationship began in the 1970s with the Bradley Classification of water-related infection. This was followed by efforts to predict the effect of variations in water quality and supply on morbidity and mortality, particularly of children under five (Cairncross and Valdmanis, 2006). Among the indicators of water quality, the feco-oral (specifically infectious diarrhea) group has historically been important and remains one of the largest water-related contributors to disease on a global scale.
