Cross sectional study was conducted in the five wards situated in flood prone areas along Kilombero Valley involving household interviews in the early August 2017. About 384 heads of households were interviewed in order to determine the prevalence of diarrhea and their associated WaSH practices. The study reveals that, households’ members in the flood prone areas are more susceptible to diarrhea incidences associated with poor WaSH practices.
