The purification it's a process that is carried out on any water to transform it into drinking water and thus make it absolutely suitable for human consumption. The purification, mainly, is carried out on waters originated in natural springs and in underground waters.
Meanwhile, drinking water is that water that can be consumed by human beings without any type of restriction because it is absolutely clean of, for example, suspended solids, agglomeration, colloids, pathogenic organisms, iron and manganese, sedimentation and corrosion, among other issues. Such a situation is possible thanks to the process carried out in the purification plants designed for this purpose. The pH of drinking water must be between the 6.5 and 8.5.
Meanwhile, the purification processes turn out to be the most varied and can range from a simple disinfection adding chlorine to the water in question to eliminate those pathogenic organisms to much more sophisticated processes such as distillation and filtration with ozone.
A confirmation that speaks of the purification of the water we drink can be obtained from the observation of the following conditions in the water: odorless or odorless, colorless or colorless and tasteless, i.e. tasteless.
In many countries, during the water purification process, it is customary to add fluoride with the aim of contributing to the dental health of its inhabitants.
Among the ways that humans have to obtain drinking water immediately and of course in small quantities are: boiling water from rivers or puddles in this way will avoid bacterial contamination that they could observe and then letting it decant to recover its cleaner volume; boiling water and recovering the steam that is produced by condensation and through water purification tablets.
