We conducted field investigations with face-to-face interviews to describe the current situation of water use, hygiene and sanitation, and waterborne diseases, comparing three types of villages, land-based (LB), water–land-based (WLB), and water-based (WB) villages, characterized by their lifestyle. Our investigation found the lake water is still widely used for drinking by people in WLB (49.2%) and WB (52.9%) villages, although most of them treat the water. This fact, together with the low availability of toilets (28.8% and 58.2% in WLB and WB villages, respectively), indicates the considerable risk of waterborne infectious diseases in these villages. Following this trend, normal and severe diarrhea, which are typical waterborne diseases, were reported to occur more frequently in WLB and WB villages than in LB villages. UNBIS Thesaurus SANITATION
