The provision of clean water is mentioned as an important factor in many studies dealing with the décliné of mortality in Europe during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In developing countries too, improved water supply is assumed to have a strong impact on mortality. The methodological problems with which researchers are confronted when studying the impact of water supply on public health are manifold. Most of these also apply to historical studies of the subject. In our paper, we review the evidence from this historical research, taking into account the methodological problems observed in contemporary impact évaluation studies, and we use more refined data from the Dutch city of Tilburg, enabling us to overcome many of t...
