Whether the water you drink is good or bad can be determined by several factors like odour, taste, and colour. We all know that water is said to be pure if it is colourless, odourless and tasteless. However, the most important taste for good water is TO DETERMINE THE PH OF YOUR DRINKING WATER. Before i go into how to determine the water ph, the correct water ph and other things, let us first of all identify the consequences and sources of bad water.
Drinking bad water may contribute to the following health problems: Asthma, Arthritis, Teeth problems, Typhoid, Liver and Kidney problems, early aging, constipation, etc.
Sources of bad water:
1. Tap water: In some remote places in Nigeria, tap water remains a major source of water. Water from this source may not have all the requirements of good drinking water
2. Rain water: Some people still drink water collected during rainfall. It is easily contaminated and this too should be discouraged.
3. Bore hole water: This is a major source of water and remains the most dangerous of all in Nigeria. Most bore hole water is contaminated and prolonged consumption may result i the health conditions described above
4. Pure water: This constitutes more than 95% of travelers drinking water in Nigeria. Most of them are acidic. You are health conscious if you avoid pure water entirely. Read the section of this blog that discusses WATER PH- WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
