Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

Green color due to or as a result of the stool in water is most likely related to diet variation. With food content variability , the stool color and consistency can alter.

A stool routine examination including ova and parasites can be advised to rule out any infectious or parasitic infestation as the cause.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
