Quality Drinking Water with CMERI Technology is now reality in India

Kolkata, Jul 2 (UNI) ‘Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink’, a saying turning to be reality as about half of India is facing drinking water crisis with Chennai and Bengaluru bearing the brunt as monsoon got delayed and arrived without a brimming bucket.
A Niti Aayog report released last year predicted Day Zero for 21 Indian cities by next year. Day Zero refers to the day when a place is likely to have no drinking water of its own. However in India, ground waters of many locations are highly contaminated with iron, arsenic and fluoride. Though Iron is an essential element for human health but the presence of excess iron in ground water creates several problems including health hazards to the masses.
Similarly, long-term exposure to drinking water that contains more than 1.5 ppm fluoride can lead to health problem. Arsenic is also the biggest problem in West Bengal now a days.
