To analyze this, we assess mild head-injured...

In low resource settings, it unclear which sources are most vulnerable contamination following rainfall events. We evaluated the relationship between and drinking quality in southwest Guatemala where heavy frequent access safe limited. surveyed 59 shallow household wells, measured precipitation, calculated simple hydrological variables. compared Escherichia coli concentration at wells recent had...
