Harmful bacteria that may cause serious diseases and death need to be removed from water before it can be used for domestic purposes. Dirt particles are removed because they can wear away pipes or damage industrial equipment.
Water purification, process by which undesired chemical compounds, organic and inorganic materials, and biological contaminants are removed from water. That process also includes distillation (the conversion of a liquid into vapour to condense it back to liquid form) and deionization (ion removal through the extraction of dissolved salts). One major purpose of water purification is to provide clean drinking water. Water purification also meets the needs of medical, pharmacological, chemical, and industrial applications for clean and potable water. The purification procedure reduces the concentration of contaminants such as suspended particles, parasites, bacteria, algae, viruses, and fungi. Water purification takes place on scales from the large (e.g., for an entire city) to the small (e.g., for individual households).
Most communities rely on natural bodies of water as intake sources for water purification and for day-to-day use. In general, these resources can be classified as groundwater or surface water and commonly include underground aquifers, creeks, streams, rivers, and lakes. With recent technological advancements, oceans and saltwater seas have also been used as alternative water sources for drinking and domestic use.
Clean water is essential for every human being, for drinking, cooking and other daily uses purposes like bathing, brushing, washing clothes etc. It not just makes our life healthier but also fulfills the hygiene purpose.
The regular tap water being supplied in your home might seem clear but possess various sorts of health-affecting bacteria and viruses such as fluorine compounds, chlorine, mercury, lead, pesticides and other types of waste particles.
And its consumption can lead to serious health issues, and sometimes the result can be massively harmful. As per the research contaminated water lead the diseases like- diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio, and is estimated to cause 502 000 diarrhea deaths each year.
Water is a limited resource which is chemically treated to obviate various types of harmful viruses or bacteria available in it, that makes approx. 1.1 million ill each year (according to the research) and this is the core reason why water purification is necessary. Since your family’s health is in your hand, you must be very careful with the kind of water they are consuming for their day to day uses.
Several sorts of chemicals and viruses in unfiltered water can increase the chances of some kind of cancer risks. Thus, eliminating these chemicals can help you get rid of such cancer risks. Besides that, pure water also keeps things moving in your digestive tract. It helps to push food through and get you healthy digestion.
