Water for Health |
|
Recently United Nations Committee on Economic, Cultural and Social Rights has taken an unprecedented step of agreeing on a “General Comment” on water as a human right. They have declared that, “Water is fundamental for life and health. The human right to water is indispensable for leading a healthy life in human dignity. It is a pre-requisite to the realization of all other human rights.”
WHO considers that drinking water should be 'suitable for human consumption and for all usual domestic purposes including personal hygiene'. Drinking water should therefore be suitable for consumption, washing/showering and domestic food preparation. In human health terms, exposure to water and its constituents can occur through ingestion, contact and aerosol inhalation. |

The WHO Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality |
|
WHO states iterates all people have the right to have access to an adequate supply of safe drinking water. In this context, 'safe' refers to a water supply, which is of a quality that does not represent a significant health risk, is of sufficient quantity to meet all domestic needs, is available continuously, is available to all the population and is affordable. The conditions thus are summarized by WHO as five key words:
Quality , Quantity , Continuity , Coverage and Cost. |
|
Just as water is universal, Chlorine is as universal a disinfectant. |
|
 The primary objective of water supply chlorination is disinfection. Potable water must be disinfected to destroy pathogenic organisms and thereby eliminate and prevent water borne diseases. It is important to note that diseases are transmitted not only by water alone but also through food and personal contact with contaminated water. Hence it is essential that all water used by humans be disinfected.
IEC offers water supply disinfection system having Hypochlorite generators for treating water for domestic and institutional levels. For larger treatment plants, IEC offers Gas Chlorinators. |
