Abstract A retrospective epidemiological study was carried out on the association between enteric disease incidence and wastewater utilization in 79 kibbutzim (cooperative agricultural settlements) in Israel having a population of 32,672. Medical records on disease incidence were collected from patient files at each kibbutz clinic. Environmental data on location of sewage irrigated tracts, wind direction and source of water supply was collected for each kibbutz. The kibbutzim were divided into 4 categories: (1) 30 irrigating with wastewater effluent in addition to freshwater; (2) 28 not utilizing effluent for any purpose; (3) 10 using wastewater effluent in fish ponds; (4) 11 which practiced 2 consecutive years of effluent utilization and another 2 consecutive years of effluent utilization and another 2 consecutive years in which no effluent was utilized for any purpose of vice versa. The high degree of intra- and inter-kibbutz variations of disease rate in the 68 kibbutzim in categories 1-3 resulted in conflicting findings and anomalies which did not provide a basis for drawing conclusions.
