ResumeThepurpose of this study is to analyze the availability and accessibility of water for domestic use, and to study drinking water management methods and their impact on the health of populations in the lakeside municipality Aguégués, south of Benin.Access to drinking water is difficult in the municipality of Aguégués. There is a lack of water points (boreholes and modern wells), waiting time and long distances to get water. Consequently, the average volume of water used per day per capita is relatively low andeven below the standards advocated by WHO for nearly 94% of the population of this municipality leading to health risks. The methodology used takes into account the literature search and the field survey. In almost 40% of the households surveyed, at leastone person had diarrhea in the two weeks preceding the survey. The prevalence of waterborne diseases in this Benin commune is mainly related to people's behavior in water management, hygiene and family sanitation. There are 3077 cases of diarrheal diseaseannually and 850 cases of cholera
