ABSTRACT

We cannot conceive surviving on this planet, or anywhere else in the cosmos, without water since it is so essential to our existence. According to the CIA World Fact Book, our planet contains around 71% of all water, yet just 0.3% of it is fresh water. Water's quality is a crucial component to consider because it is the element that supports life the most. As an element that sustains life, water quality is being deteriorated by both natural and manmade impacts; as a result, its quality naturally becomes a crucial metric to be examined. Rock weathering, evapotranspiration, and the leaching of harmful substances into the soil are examples of natural forces that hasten the process. In this essay, we focused on both the health effects of water-borne illnesses and the quality of the water.
