Question

Clear, transparent water is always fit for drinking. Comment.

Answer 1

Answer:

No, this is not true that clean, transparent water is always fit for drinking. It is possible that they may carry disease-causing microorganisms. Thus, it is good to purify water before drinking.

Answer 2

The statement is false, clear water is not always fit for drinking.

• Water is necessary for our survival and that too clean, hygienic and potable (fit to drink) water.
• The microbes are microscopic that cannot be seen through the naked eye and thus not seen in water if present.
• The bacteria causing typhoid and cholera can be there in water which can easily cause harm to us if entered.
• Thus, it is important for us to first boil the water if it is taken from a foreign source so that the bacteria present in it can die and water can become fit for drinking.
