Further Explanation:
Clean potable water is necessary for survival as it is a ‘matter of life’. Scarcity of ‘potable water’ is becoming one of the most technologically challenging issues of the 21st century, because ‘human activities’ are changing the surrounding and environment around us.
Potable water is also called drinking water or tap water which is used for ‘sanitary purposes’ such as showers, toilets, drinking fountains, cooking, hand-wash basins, etc.
Water from ‘natural source’ is treated for bacteria, microorganisms, toxic chemicals, fecal matter and viruses. Drinking raw and untreated water may cause ‘gastrointestinal problems’ such as vomiting, fever and diarrhea.
Due to the scarcity of ‘potable water’ there is a establishment of delivery system which requires cans, hoses, buckets, transport system and man power which is cost effective.
