WATER SUPPLIES by R. W. Pomare The reliance of most Maori homes on wells, springs and creeks which have never been tested for their purity, and are very frequently found to be uncovered and unprotected from animal or human pollution, is of great importance in any attempt to safeguard the health of the people from diseases that may be spread in this way, such as typhoid fever, dysentery, diarrhoea and hydatids. When water contaminated with these disease germs is consumed by a person, the disease of that particular germ may follow. Each disease has its own germ, and one disease cannot result from another type of germ.
