Reasons Why Water Purification Projects are Important for Human Health

 

In India, 163 million people struggle to access clean water. No doubt, they have no choice but to drink the dirty water. Certain rural communities in India lack water for cooking, washing, and food production. As a result, they will get sick and lose mental peace. This is why the water purification project is run by the campaigns.  

Water purification is necessary to access clean water to maintain food standards and sanitation. Some organizations aim to offer long-lasting solutions to offer clean water accessible to everyone. Let’s understand the necessity of running a water purification project in India. 

What you should understand about purified water? 

Getting access to purified water is, fortunately, the best thing. Clean water not only makes our life healthy but also helps to maintain the hygiene around us. The tap water supplied to our home might seem clean, but it contains various health-affecting bacteria and viruses. The water may contain lead, pesticides, chlorine, mercury, and other harmful particles. 

Consuming contaminated water can lead to serious health problems. Sometimes it can result in massive harm to us. As per the national water supply and sanitation programme research, it is found that drinking contaminated water can lead to diseases like diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera, typhoid, polio etc. 

Water is considered a limited resource on Earth. It is chemically treated to fight various viruses that kill multiple people yearly. This is the reason why various organisations run water purification projects. Our family's health is in our hands, which is why we should be extra careful about these social causes. 

Why are water purification programs necessary? 

• Keep the environment clean

When someone buys water bottles, it means he/she is throwing them in the garbage that can’t be recycled. Ultimately it means that bottled waters use clean water and do several damages to nature. On the other hand, water filters accurately discharge harmful waste. It ultimately helps to keep the environment safe and protected.

There are different types of viruses and chemicals in contaminated water that cause different diseases. It can also increase the risk of cancer. Clean and pure drinking water keeps things moving in the digestive tract. It also helps you to balance a healthy digestive system.

If you use the water filters, it removes all types of contaminated sources from the water. You can expect to have quality water consumption that also decays over time. We use water for several tasks. The better the water quality you use, the better atmosphere you can maintain.

• 
  

Chlorine is used in swimming pool water which results in tanning. But you can’t drink chlorinated water because it harms your health. Chlorine can affect your health in a variety of different ways. It can become the cause of breathing difficulties, skin irritation, difficulties in the chest, and other sorts of problems. So, before you drink water, make sure it is chlorine free.

As per the experts, lead is the major cause affecting kids' learning disorders. This is why purified water is recommended to drink. 

• Make the digestive system strong

It will also help to store the normal bowel movement. The major cause of constipation arises from the stomach when we eat something unhealthy or drink contaminated water.
