PURIFYING DRINKING WATER
•We all need clean drinking water to
stay fit. However, pollution and germs
cause water to get contaminated.
Contaminated water can cause diseases
such as typhoid and cholera. Therefore,
water needs to be purified before
consuming it.
•At home, this can be done by boiling
and using water purifiers.
•Boiling is a very effective method that
has been in use for a very long time.
Boiling water kills germs. These days’
water purifiers are also being used to
purify water.
•Before the water from various sources
reaches us, it is treated in purification
plants.
