Abstract

Human population is growing at an alarming pace. It creates extra demand for resources of food and clean water But the potable water is becoming the major issue of the world (WWF, 1998). Heavy metals also predispose to major health hazards. These are the natural components of earth crust. These metals have high density and are lethal to human tissues even at very low concentration. The common heavy metals are Cadmium, Copper, aluminium, arsenic. Lead, Cobalt. Water contamination by these metals is dependent on the environment pollution (Funari & Ottavini, 1997). The present paper reviews characteristics of drirnking water.

Abstract

(H20) is the most abundant compound on Earth's surface, covering 70 percent of the planet. In nature, waterexists in liquid, solid, and gaseous states. It is in dynamic quilibrium between the liquid and gas states at standard temperature and pressure. At room temperature, it is a tasteless and odorless liquid, nearly color less with a hint of blue. Many substances dissolve in water and it is commonly referred to as the universal solvent. Because of this, water in nature and in use is rarely pure and some properties may vary from those of the pure substance. The present paper reviews research studies on quality of water.
