प्रश्न
What do you do in the following situations:
Get turbid drinking water during monsoon.
Notes
If we get turbid water during monsoon, we should first make the water potable by stirring it with alum. Alum allows the impurities to settle leaving pure water on the top. Alternatively, we can make the water potable by passing the water through candle filters or electric filters. This not only makes the water potable but also removes water-borne pathogens, thereby preventing water-borne diseases.

Water is essential for life. Without water there would be no life. We usually take water as granted for its purity, but we must ensure the quality of water. Pollution of water originates from human activities. Through different paths, pollution reaches to groundwater. Easily identified source or place of pollution is called as point source, e.g. municipal and industrial discharge pipes, where pollutants enter the water source. Non-point sources of pollution are those where a source of pollution cannot be easily identified, e.g. agricultural run-off, acid rain, etc.
