Description:

During the summer of 2003, a gastroenteritis outbreak spread throughout a holiday resort in central Europe. Fecally contaminated groundwater and seawater were leaking into the non-drinking-water system, which was found to be connected to the drinking-water system of a large resort. This contamination had a primary role in the onset of the outbreak and spread of the infection.
