Initiatives from Global Welfare Agencies for Safe Drinking Water Drive Demand from Water Treatment Chemicals and Technology Market
Water is the most essential commodity needed for the survival of al organisms. Water that is clean and safe for consumption is vital for the health, hygiene, and productivity of a community. However, surging industrialization, urbanization, and voracious human activities have contaminated the environment to an unprecedented level, including natural water resources. Typically, surface water, such as from rivers, lakes, streams, etc., contains more pollutants and sediments than groundwater. The water from these sources needs more treatment before it is suitable to be used, with the type of water entering the treatment plant deciding the type of treatments that would be needed to make the water safe for consumption. Groundwater, which is the other main source of water, is not directly affected by environmental contamination. Other than the source, the quality of water is gauged on the basis of hardness, alkalinity, pH, and total dissolved solids (TDS), which decide the ty...
