Water treatment standards in Mexico are not as carefully enforced as they are in the US. If water has been taken from a lake or river without being properly treated, it can contain germs which can make people sick. Cholera, amoebic dysentery, and giardiasis are among the diseases that can be transmitted by drinking water that has not been correctly treated.
