Hello Hive Learners Community! Welcome to my blog. Water is an important component of life. This smallest basic unit of life has its 90% composition in the cell. Almost every reaction in our body needs aqueous medium. Either they are enzymes or they are inhibitors both needed availability of water for their activities. From cell biology to homeostasis, we can't ignore this basic component of life. Unfortunately as we are polluting the earth we are polluting surface water as well. We didn't care when we are throwing oil, poisonous materials and organic growth into the sea. They not only affect quality of water but also damages fresh and marine water bodies as well. If we are enjoying free supply of water, we should be careful in its consumption.

Water Quality in Lahore
I belong to Lahore, Pakistan. It is the second biggest and most developed city in my homeland. Unfortunately, it is third most polluted city in the world. Yes, we are not only inhaling polluted air but also we have polluted water for drinking. To drink sweet surface water was a dream for us. This is the punishment we received as a gift from our forefathers. I can't blame them anymore because we are also following their footsteps in polluting our earth. I don't know when people will realise the bad impacts of land pollution but we have polluted water with many germs inside. Every month we have a big headache of water bills from WASA like other utility bills. Sometimes we are charged to pay 10$-20$ in water bills. Still thanks to this private Company because it provides us healthy water and saves us lives from many water borne diseases.

Precious Steps to Improve Quality of Water
As we have polluted water that is unable to drink hence we are taking some steps to improve its quality.
RO Plant
In our housing society, we have about 50 different houses. Some of these families are average and some are elite. When years ago, food poisoning engulfed some lives due to bad quality water we collected funds and built a RO plant there. This plant cleans our surface water with reverse osmosis and provides us good quality water. If you can afford it, then must install it in your area. After its installing, we didn't have reported any case that was affected due to water illness.
Buy Mineral Water
If we didn't have RO plant and we have enough budget then we should buy mineral water. There are many Companies available that are providing quality water within the world. Quality Water costs low as compared to medical expenses when we are diseased.
Boiling
Before water consumption, we should boil our water. When water boils at 100 °C, it kills many germs. After boiling, water become available for healthy consumption. This is the one of the mostly used traditional method to improve quality of water.
Filtration System
If we can't afford RO plant and can't have enough fuel budget for water boiling then we should manage at least two filters. Surface Water should cross these filters. After this simplest filtration system, we are although still in risk of water illness but it is more good in quality than we surface water we consume without filtration.
Religious Duty about Water
Water is more polluted by both air and land pollution. We should not throw our garbage into the seas and rivers. Moreover, we should avoid useless water consumption. To protect the water layer in our earth is our religious duty. We should educate people about the bad impacts of water pollution. We should emphasize our society to keep healthier water. If someone is drinking polluted water, we should help him or her in managing healthy water. There are many sever disease that are outcome of unhealthy water consumption. We can decrease their ratio by providing healthy supply of water. We should emphasize our government to provide healthy water supply for us. Healthy water is our healthy right. We should protect our water right.

Our health is important and whatever we consume should be clean and healthy. Instead of drinking unclean water, adopting easy methods like filtration and boiling would be better than taking unclean water.
Exactly we should guide people accordingly. Clean water is essential for our survival as well. We can't keep good health without it. Thank you for visiting.
Yeah, we can't, it's never possible. Thanks so much for sharing those vital methods of purifications.
