	Ebeye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ebeye is the most populous island of Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, as well as the center for Marshallese culture in the Ralik Chain of the archipelago.
		Some of the residents of Ebeye are refugees or descendants of refugees from the effects of the cataclysmic 15 megaton "Bravo" nuclear test at Bikini Atoll on March 1, 1954.
		Originally, Ebeye was called and written Ebeje, but the colonial German administration mispronounced the J as if it were German language pronunciation, and foreign observers phonetically recorded the name as Ebeye.

	Safe water handling key in controlling cholera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In December 2000, the first known outbreak of cholera in the Republic of the Marshall Islands was reported on Ebeye Island.
		Interestingly, the military water came from a chlorinated source that was considered to be safe from cholera contamination.
		In support of this hypothesis, the authors found that drinking water transported in a cooler with a tight-fitting lid reduced the risk of cholera infection, presumably because the secure seal slowed the loss of chlorine that occurs with evaporation.
