Abstract The paper explores sanitation and health in rural Uttarakhand, India. Data from a primary survey of 1530 households in 2004/05 are analysed.

As expected latrine availability affects episodes of diarrhea negatively, while the availability of water has a positive effect on latrine availability and use.
