The extent of ongoing water contamination and
pollution shows our perspective towards water. Pure
water scarcity could potentially be enough to bring about a worldwide economic
collapse all by itself, because no society can function without water. Just try to live a single day without using
any water some time. You will quickly
realize how difficult it is.
It will not be long before your taps run dry and
water bodies will be contaminated to such an extent that it will be rendered unfit
for human consumption.
Many may put across the point that, Earth’s surface
is covered with water. The information the follows below might break there
bubble of comfort;
Approximately
ninety-seven percent of the water on the earth is salt water. Filled with salt
and other minerals this water is unfit for human consumption.
Approximately two percent of the water on earth is glacier ice at
the North and South Poles. Only less than 1% of all the water on earth is fresh water that we can
actually use. We use this small amount of water for drinking, transportation, heating and cooling,
industries, and many other purposes. .
To add to these woes, a significant drop in quality of pure drinking water is already being
noticed today due to the reasons mentioned above. It is time that we take
matter in our own hands and initiate steps that will ease the next generation’s
access to pure drinking water.
Limiting our water use, water purification recycling water is a great way for
water conservation and obtaining pure water.
Use of water purifiers is a major step in the bid to obtain pure water. Water purifiers can purify
water which is contaminated and polluted to such an extent that they be health
hazards. Water purifiers use the following technologies to purify water:
1) Reverse
Osmosis (RO)
2) Ultra
violet purification (UV)
3) Gravity
based UF
