Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lack of sanitary toilet facilities often leads to open defecation, which contaminates the surrounding environment and water sources with feces. This can lead to the spread of diseases such as cholera and typhoid, making it unsafe for people to drink the water. Therefore, feces is the most likely source of pollution for drinking water in areas where there is a lack of proper sanitation facilities.
