The term<unk> is reserved largely for infections that predominantly are transmitted through contact with or consumption of microbially polluted water. Many infections may be transmitted by microbes or parasites that accidentally, possibly as a result of exceptional circumstances, have entered the water. However, the fact that there might be an occasional infection need not mean that it is useful to categorize the resulting<unk> as<unk> ". Nor is it common practice to refer to<unk>  such as malaria as<unk> " just because mosquitoes have aquatic phases in their life cycles, or because treating the water they inhabit happens to be an effective strategy in control of the mosquitoes that are the vectors. A related term is "water-related<unk>  which is defined as "any significant or widespread adverse effects on human health, such as death, disability, illness or disorders, caused directly or indirectly by the condition, or changes in the quantity or quality of any water". Water-related<unk>  are grouped according to their transmission mechanism:<unk> , water hygiene, water based, water related. The main transmission mode for<unk>  is ingestion of contaminated water.
