Khan MU [International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research Bangladesh (ICDDR, B), Dacca—12], Mosley WH, Chakraborty J, Majid Sarder A and Khan MR. The relationship of cholera to water source and use in rural Bangladesh. International Journal of Epidemiology 1981, 10: 23–25.

The cholera experience of a sample of families in a rural area of Bangladesh is reported in relation to water supply and use. Tanks were the primary source for 65% of families, canals for 20% and the river for 14%. The highest attack rate was associated with access to canal water (13%). Attack rates did not vary markedly according to the purpose for which a source was used. The importance of cultural patterns in water use is identified.
