Resumen

Viruses and other microorganisms are responsible for waterborne diseases such as gastroenteritis and hepatitis. The microbial contamination markers currently adopted (fecal coliforms) already show how seriously Brazilian waters are contaminated by fecal matters. However, some evidences suggest that additional parameters should be adopted for monitoring the microbiological quality of water. The extent of waste collection and treatment activities in Brazil is alarming; and waste is a major source of contamination of our waters. Also, microbial contamination agents are only partially monitored, and all of these factors lead to the current situation in which we are faced with various endemic waterborne diseases. Such vulnerable situation is likely to aggravate more when water is scarce.
