Water is essential for life. However, when its purity is compromised, what should be a source of vitality transforms into a wellspring of agony and despair.

Contaminated water can pose serious risks to human health and the environment. Studies have linked impure water with an array of diseases, including thyroid, ovarian, bladder, and kidney cancers, as well as cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid, polio, and many others.
