According to Wikipedia:
Cholera is an infection of the small intestine caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae.
Thus, if a watermelon or any water contains that bacterium, you will get cholera from consuming it. The combination does not matter. If you consume things that don't contain this bacterium, you will not get cholera, no matter which things or in which combination.
