Is Raw water really safe?

in #water7 years ago (edited)

I have heard from a local television news last night that raw water is been the health trend today. But what i can see now is that the water is now starting to have polluted which some do have animal waste and others may have garbage into it.

This might contain a lot of viruses and bacteria if you do drink them, and since new generation today preferred to drink sterilized or purified water now a days. There are also bottle water being sold in the grocery which is safe to drink also.

So after that i am eager to know more about this , so i search in the internet and found out that it has being practiced by US and that it really cost much just to avail those raw water.Source here

Many did make some testimony that drinking raw water is better than those already been sterilized or purified. They also say that it is more hydrating and that water benefits are still there which contains natural benefits for our body.

But i think the counterpart of this one is you will get prone to diseases and even diarrhea since we are not used to raw water anymore.

What do you think of this new trend today? Is this really safe to intake or it will just result to bad effects to our body. Please post comment so i could know your reaction about this trend.Thank you.

In Santiago de Chile drinking water contains up to lithium in small quantities, it also contains iron and sulfates, although the turbidity is almost nil. If they have bacteria or viruses it is impossible to detect them with the naked eye, but chemical composition studies reveal these results.

yes, @steemito it is really impossible to detect them. So i think better avoid raw water.

Ice is just boneless water

Better safe than sorry, Raw Water may have been better than sterilized or purified water, but at this day and age where pollutants are being disposed anywhere you can't really be sure if your raw water is not contaminated.

@jlordc sterilized or purified water is good nowadays because of these pollution that we are experiencing surely raw water are contaminated.

This AMAZING powder will make raw water safe to drink. It literally attaches to contaminants in the water and will clump them together. All you do is pour the water through a strainer afterwards, boil it, and bam; You can drink river water.

Boil it and it becomes virtually safe - no diarhea problems and whatnot.

You're right, I agree with you, thank you

depends on the source and what are within it. today, we are living with extreme challenges of maintaining nature even at countries where there are strict laws being implemented against pollution. As humans ,we basically had to invent things that can continuously improve our daily essentials.
