Caption:
This image was taken in the Poonamallee area, of the southeast Indian state of Tamil Nadu, and depicted the local health inspector, Mr. Babu, standing near a disconnected municipal water pipeline, visible in the foreground, during an epidemiological investigation prompted by an outbreak of cholera in the area. As part of the response effort, area residents were instructed not to use any water obtained from pipelines, or bore wells, and the municipal government placed containers of super-chlorinated drinking water on city streets, for public use until the water supply was decontaminated. A black temporary water tank could be seen in the background, opposite the disconnected waterline. This image was captured, and submitted by Indian, Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) resident, Dr. Dhruba Mahajan, December 27, 2011.
