Penelitian ini membahas hubungan kondisi fisik sarana air bersih dengan kejadian diare. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan metode kasus (penderita diare) dan kontrol (bukan penderita diare). Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Juni-Juli 2011 di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Tugu Depok dengan menyebarkan kuesioner dan observasi dengan menggunakan check list. Data diolah dengan menggunakan uji statistik.Hasil penelitian belum berhasil membuktikan bahwa ada hubungan antara kondisi fisik sarana air bersih dengan kejadian diare namun ada beberapa variabel yang berhubungan dengan kejadian diare yaitu jenis variabel pengetahuan (p = 0,023) dan pendidikan (p = 0,000) memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan kejadian diare. Hasil penelitian menyarankan bahwa kejadian diare dapat dicegah dengan meningkatkan kebersihan perorangan, partisipasi masyarakat dalam penyuluhan dan peran Puskesmas melalui penyuluhan dengan metode yang menarik dan inspeksi sanitasi untuk kondisi fisik sarana air bersih.
