When infected it may lead to serious health problems caused by protozoa, viruses, or bacteria, many of which are intestinal parasite. Drinking contaminated water may lead to bacterial infection like diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, or typhoid.

Despite all, you can avoid all the above diseases by maintaining proper hygiene and to be careful about quality of the water to drink.
