The aim of this study was to ascertain the role and relative importance of water Contact activities in the transmission of Urinary Schistosomiasis during the study period.Different water contact activities were observed and recorded among the subjects in the study area. While on the other hand, 200 Urine samples were collected and examined for the presence of blood in the urine using strip-reagent method as confirmation to Schistosomiasis infection.As well, a sedimentation technique was employed to detect the presence or otherwise of Schistosome ova in the urine samples. Out of these 200 urine samples, 25% (50) were found to be positive with S. haematobium. Male children recorded the highest cases of 88% (44), while female has only 12% (6) of the total samples observed. Children between the ages of 11-14 years have the peak prevalence of 78% (39), while those within 7-10 years of age have 22% (11) respectively.Children who engaged in swimming in water has the highest rates of 68% (34), followed by washing 12% (6) and the least contact patterns was farming with only 8% (4).This result was by far less than what were obtained in the previous studies in some areas and may not be unconnected with the level of awareness by these school children and their limited contact with the water.
