On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Global Council on Water Diseases Inc; I formally welcome you to our website (www.gcowd.org).  In our efforts to a renewed focus on increasing access to clean, safe water including preventing, treating and controlling diseases related to unclear and unsanitary water, this website has been made to make it a lot easier for navigation through all sections. A few newer features have been added to enhance the mission to achieving the objectives of GCOWD. There is a section that categorizes the causes of water borne diseases, which is  further divided to biological and non-biological causes of water borne diseases. Modes of transmission of the causative agents have been included, with clinical manifestations as well as diagnostic and management plans.

There is now an  Archives section that features abstracts of previous papers presented at the various conferences. For copies of such papers, a self stamped address envelope will be required with a token fee  of  $10.00 (Ten Dollars) for preparation of the materials.

Dates of future conferences will be published on this website with registration   information of such conferences.

I thank you very much, and looking forward to your comments and contributions through our contact section.
