Water is recognized as an important agent in the transmission of several diseases. The drinking of unsafe and contaminated water by children makes them vulnerable for diarrhoeal attack. Several outbreaks of diarrhoea among children in the past are attributable to the consumption of unhygienic contaminated water.
