List of diseases caused by bacterial,Viral and Protozoan infections throught Water

WATER BORNE DISEASES are those which are transmitted by contaminated water. Water is a very good carrier of micro organisms. Communicable diseases which may be transmitted by water include bacterial, viral and protozoan infections.
