What is the Importance of Safe Drinking Water?
We all know what the importance of water (drinking water) in our life is. Without water human life as well as no life is possible in this planet. All the living beings in this planet earth need water for survival and without water there will be no life in this earth. Drinking water should be clean physically (there should be no turbidity) and there should be no bad odor. Drinking water should be free from microorganisms, free from harmful chemical and other pollutants.
Consuming unsafe drinking water may lead to several water borne diseases, and other long term and chronic health problems. Provision of safe drinking water to each and every individual living in this planet is required. But unfortunately many developing and underdeveloped nations are unable to provide safe drinking water to its citizens, which are resulting in human sufferings, manpower wastage and drainage of economic resources which can be used for developmental works.
Safe drinking water should be made an important aspect of human right as safe drinking water is essential for enjoying basic aspects of being human, as without safe drinking water a good health state can not be imagined. Provision of safe drinking water should be at the top of agenda in all countries (developed as well as developing and underdeveloped countries) and provision of safe drinking water to each and every individual living in this planet should be ensured by international treaty and enforced properly.
If you are living in a developed country, it may not be possible for you to imagine or know what lack of safe drinking water can do to general health and well being of individuals without safe drinking water.
One of the major cause of lack of safe drinking water in many developing and underdeveloped countries is lack of knowledge about safety and public health and lack of knowledge of what drinking of unsafe water can cause and how to make drinking water safer by use of available meager resources within every bodies reach. Many citizens living in underdeveloped nations are illiterate and have no idea about how to make water safer for drinking. Boiling of water make water safe for drinking at least from microbiological point of view, as most microbes die when water is boiled. Filtration of water (with simple cloth) after storing (as it cause many substances to settle down to the bottom) it for several hours can remove many harmful substances. Educating individuals can play a big role in ensuring safe drinking water and better health.
