Waterborne diseases are conditions caused by microscopic organisms, like viruses and bacteria, that are ingested through contaminated water. Theses disease can be spread while bathing, washing, drinking, or by eating food exposed to contaminated water. Some of the most common water borne diseases in India are Jaundice, diarrhoea, typhoid, hepatitis A and others.
