Awareness for Our Drinking Water

We all know that water is a life but sometimes this water can also be dangerous for life because most of the diseases comes from water.Most of the viruses, bacteria and protozoa can enter human body by using this water media.Now in case of cooking food because of boiling, bacteria,protozoa becomes dead and virus DNA & RNA structure also become destroyed but in case of drinking water normally it does not happen.
The diseases like Typhoid,Cholera(bacteria affected), or Hepatitis,jaundice(virus affected) or many more protozoa affected diseases has vulnerable effect in human body also this type of diseases can takes human life .
Now the major question is that, is our drinking water secure ?
Probably we don't know exactly about that. So in this summer we all should aware about our drinking water.
Normally nothing special just we need to remember

• Don't drink water from any where when you are thirsty

• Just few season try to drink water after boiling

• You can use aquaguard or water purifier for filter of water but still boiled water is best option than aquaguard or any purifier.

• when you are out of station then always use package drinking water

[i have started this thread because this water related diseases has affected me very much, not only my health also in carrier]

This is really a big problem of this time and our safety always remain with us, our choices are what that decide will decide our physical state.

Really appreciable post Rupu!

Can't repo you now.

You can use aquaguard or water purifier for filter of water but still boiled water is best option than aquaguard or any purifier.

While boiling is one of the best options, it does not remove any chemical substances from it.

I prefer RO sources of water coz they have various filters fopr chemicals,calcium and other deposits, as well as bacteria (and i dunno maybe virus) filters too.

when you are out of station then always use package drinking water

its really hard, because i've read from reliable sources that people package tap water in branded bottles, so we can never be sure about anything (atleast in India)

I personally can't boil the water everytime(It seems to easy, but somehow i couldn't do it). I don't believe in BMC drinking water supply so for last 1 and half year i'm using that 20 litres wala BISLERI and now switched to 25 litre wala AQUAFINA(Safe Bet)...

P.S
Rep for you rupu

Yes. You have put it right. We can never be sure about anything in this world, and that's the main problem.

Really appreciable post Rupu!

Thanks dhanesh,gothic_coder.
Normally since 2004 i am very strict about my drinking water when i visit any where I always drink either my own reliable source water or package drinking water.Ashish i also drink Bisleri,Aquafina or Kinley where Kinley's test is totally different with Bisleri but not always get 25 litter (specially when i visit out of the state)
Normally in home i drink aquaguard water since last one year otherwise few season i drink boiled water.Prouser yes boiling is the best method to remove virus but aquaguard can at least protect human body from few bacteria & protozoa.

Water borne diseases can be fatal... I avoid drinking water when I'm eating out... Filtered water is essential as the dust particles can contribute to forming stones around the kidney...

Aquagaurd has one demerit that it kills the good bacterias present in the water along with the bad ones... But still I prefer drinking water purified by aquaguards to be on safer side!

Rep added rupu!

BTW, I've switched to drinking mineral water only since past couple of months!

REP ++

an informative thread.......and i do follow whatever you have written...

thanks itsmemad & siddharth for repo

in home i drink RO UV treated water.

when you are out of station then always use package drinking water

I've seen dirt with my naked eyes even in branded packaged water !

So...Don't trust them blindly.

Good thread. Reps Given. Rated 4/5.

Good thread Rupu and its important that this thread was created. Many people in India just drink water from anywhere and this is wrong, majority of places dont always give the safest water as they are not so concerned about the water they give. Instead we are the ones which should take care of the water we drink and be causious of where we are getting the water from and use the examples which Rupu has given in this thread.
