Drinking-Water is water that is appropriate for drinking, cooking, and other various purposes according to the requirement. The required amount of drinking water for a healthy life may differ according to personal health, age, & physical activity situations. People who worked in a hot climate are required to drink 14 to 16 litres of water in a day, whereas 3 to 4 litres of water is suitable for the people who work in a cold or normal climate. According to the report of the Central Public Health & Environmental Engineering Organisation is reported that the standard norm for domestic water usage in India is 135 litres per capita in a day (LPCD). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the TDS Limit of Drinking\/Portable Water?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As everyone knows, Water is one of the main requirements of living alive. A person can hardly survive for a few days without drinking water and 70 to 80% of our body is water, therefore it’s very important to measure the TDS limit of drinking water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TDS Stands for Total Dissolved Solids or total concentration of dissolved substances present in water and includes inorganic salts and organic matter of small amount. Inorganic salts contain C-H bonds and are manufactured from cations that are positively charged such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, & sodium as well as negatively charged anions such as sulphide, fluoride, chloride, & bromide. TDS measure in PPM (Parts Per Million) format and helps to identify whether the drinking water is good enough to drink or filtration is required. Between 50-150 PPM finds very good for drinking, 150-250 finds good, 250-300 finds fair, 300-500 finds poor, or above 1200 is very poor and unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Precautions to Avoid Waterborne Diseases<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report of the World Health Organization (WHO), it is found that around 3.1 % of deaths in the world occur due to unhygienic and low-quality water & approx. 80% of diseases are waterborne worldwide. It is a very dangerous disease and occurs from drinking polluted water due to industrial & commercial waste, human waste, animal waste, garbage, & chemical effluents, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the useful precautions are needed to follow to prevent waterborne diseases are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
