Water quality in our daily life

Water is an important element in daily life, all human life is always associated with water. We are drinking, washing, bathing, even recreate with water. Substance in water can affect water quality, such as metal substance in water may cause cancer. Many researchers made efforts to make water clean, pure and healthy. One way is filtering water up to micron size or smaller, so water is not mixed with hazardous substances such as heavy metal contamination, pesticide, herbicide, and harmful microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, radioactive and other toxic wastes.

Water from the water companies usually has been drinkable but to be more safe, the local government always encourage water to be boiled first or be flowed for several hours so that the metal sediment in water cleaned. Filters should also cleaned or replaced so that we will keep the cleanliness of water. Sample testing is also usable to control the degree of acidity of water safe for human consumption.



Each country has a standard water quality that may be different so that we must maintain hygienic filtering to the installation so that we no longer hesitate to use it for our needs of our day-to-day. To be more safe, we can boil it before we drink. Because bacteria that is not visible to our eyes will be died when water boiled. Therefore, we will never drink any microorganisms that may be contained in the water. Simple things we can do to know about water quality is to see the color, smell and taste.



We can also participate in caring environment hygiene and ecosystem around us, for example, by establishing environment club with useful agenda like planting trees to minimize air pollution and maintain water supply in the soil or make a simulation in order to recycle water efficiently. Any small action that we do to change the environment to be better again, start from yourself by using less water in daily life.
