A survey of on the incidence of dental diseases and the distribution of fluoride in drinking water wells in Sri Lanka, confirms that a distinct causal relationship exists and is clearly geographically related. A similar study on the incidence of total cancer in Sri Lanka in relation to environmental factors such as rainfall, concentration of total dissolved ions, hardness of drinking well water, etc. showed an association resting entirely upon correlation.
