Even Packaged Water Is Not Free From Contaminants

We have lots of water on earth, as much as 1,460 teratonnes with covering around 71% of earth’s surface. I wonder about this every time when I am buying bottled water. If Earth has so much of water it is good for earth and all its inhabitants, of course including me. If I go to a big water body and have a glass of water from it I am sure I am going to fall sick for the next day. Even our tap water these days doesn’t seem to be safer with all those new germs evolving with new diseases. And we started using our water filters and some machines for filtering. But we cannot carry those water filters along with us every where with us. It looks absurd if I go on a scuba diving with my water filter.

And now enters the packaged drinking water with all hype that it is safest and purest to use. And we believed them and have started buying them with many dollars. And still I don’t get uncontaminated pure water as they advertise. So on whom will I rely on for water the next time I am going out?
