Abstract

ABSTRACT

               Dug wells are water sources which take benefit of ground’s water by digging a hole in the ground to get water. The indicator of water contamination by patghonic bacteria cause gastrointestinal disease such as diarrhea is coliform bacteria.

Population of 641 heads of households analyzed with Chi-square, Extact Fisher and multiple logistic regression.

               Results of the study there was a relationship between nutritional status and diarrhea, there is a relationship between physical condition dug with Coliform content, there is a relationship between physical condition dug with diarrhea, there is no relationship between the content of Coliform with diarrhea , there is a relationship between the use of well water with diarrhea.
