Drinking Water Quality Issues

Drinking water quality is something that we are all starting to be concerned about more and more. Have we taken safe water for granted? 

Perhaps the number of natural disasters that we have experienced in recent time has increased our awareness in the area of the potential for our usual supply of safe drinking water to be compromised in an instant.  

Impact of increase of population and living standards on water quality

 

With the ever increasing population, along with the, increasing levels of manufacturing, deforestation of our landscape and the increase and ferocity of diseases there is no wonder that our water supplies are becoming more and more fragile.           

We have all heard of people who have/had severe tummy upsets, food poisoning, gastro and the like.  Much is caused by bad bacteria, giardia or cryptospordium parasites in our water or food supplies. There has been extensive research showing that over 60% of our water supplies have some level of contamination, some more serious than others.  

Even in more affluent societies, where governments are spending many millions of dollars on municipal water treatment plants people are still becoming very ill.   

 Many hospitals are now performing extra filtration and purification on site in an effort to avoid further medical complications due bacterial and/or viral complications due to poor quality water.
