Answer:

Explanation:Snow's hypothesis was that contaminated water was the source of the disease, but the challenge was how to prove this to others who were skeptical. ... It is now known that cholera is a waterborne disease, spread when water used for drinking or washing food has been contaminated with feces from infected individuals.
