Özet
This study was aimed to determine drinking water quality at accommodations and houses in the Southeastern Anatolian Project (SEAP) Region. It was designed as a cross-sectional study in 9 cities at SEAP Region, Turkey in 2001. Sample was chosen by Institute of Statistics by sampling method proportional to size. Totally, 230 cluster and 1150 houses were visited with an optimum sample size representing the rural and urban area of SEAP Region. Firstly, questionnaires about house and household water were applied and then, water samples were collected for microbiological and chemical analyses. The level of clorinization of household water was also measured. Totally 79.9% of the houses (59% in rural, 93% in urban) were supplying their drinking-water by piped community water. Approximately 75% of water samples did not contain chlorin, 45.9% of water samples were defined as infected microbiologically and 28.4% chemically. Failure to provide healthy drinking water in this region will result to the risk of outbreaks of intestinal and other infectious diseases.
