Dharavi has severe problems with public health, due to the scarcity of toilet facilities, compounded by the flooding during the monsoon season. As of November 2006 there was only one toilet per 1,440 residents in Dharavi.[6] Mahim Creek, a local river, is widely used by local residents for urination and defecation, leading to the spread of contagious disease.[4] The area also suffers from problems with inadequate water supply.[7]
