ABSTRACT
Potable water, the elixir of life, will continue to be a vital necessity for humankind as long as life exists. This also implies that not only access to drinking water but also its safety is imperative. The quest for safe drinking water has been the priority for humans over centuries and will continue to dominate the world forever. This can be attributed to the overwhelming rise in the global population, depletion of natural resources, and ill-managed water systems, especially the lack of effective disinfection and treatment methods, specically in rural areas. We, as individuals as well as part of a society, need to create awareness about the existing scenario and also endeavour to motivate every human to take small baby steps toward obtaining clean and safe drinking water, which is our birthright! Therefore, an attitudinal change is the need of the hour; that is, try doing things on your own and assist the authorities in meeting your potable water requirements.
