Things 'veI learned about water...

Humans need water in everyday life. Our body is sustained by water. The lack of 20% in our body would cause death. That’s how important water is for our body. But there’s a lot more to know. Are we sure that the water we drink is safe and clean? People are increasingly concerned about the safety of their drinking water. People buy drinking bottles, thinking that this is the safe water. Even in our homes we prefer buying from water stations just to ensure our safety. Water supplies once considered pure are found to have contaminants. This is the water from the tap. What are these contaminants? What are its causes? Who can we blame?

Water contamination is caused by leaks in the pipes hence when the pressure is low, soil and groundwater may seep into leaking pipes. Another cause would be illegal connection; these connections are not well constructed and may lead to seeping in of soil and mud. The use of booster pumps creates more pure in the pipes and the pressure can suck into the pipes and contaminate the water. These are only some of the causes of the contamination in our water. It’s still our responsibility to make our water clean. We can either worsen the situation or keep the situation in control.

“We cannot expect pure water, but we want safe water.” The contamination in here are said NOT to be harmful in our body but too much of it may be dangerous. That’s why we also need to be careful. But what the authorities assure is that tap water is still safe to drink.

The least we can do is to protect and take good care of our mother natrue.
