WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS - A STUDY ON DRINKING WATER
NECESSITY OF PROJECT
The sale and consumption of bottled water continues to grow rapidly in most countries of the world.
In Chennai particularly, there is an astronomical increase in the consumption of packaged waters especially bottled and sachet drinking water.
The increased demand for these drinking water products is attributed largely to factors such as inadequate or non availability of reliable, safe municipal water in urban areas; (Gardner,2004)
The sachet drinking water was introduced in to the market as a less expansive means of accessing drinking water than bottled water. (Ogundipe,2008)
Water borne diseases such as diarrhoea,typhoid fever, cholera and bacillary dysentery has been traced to the consumption of unsafe water and unhygienic drinking water production practices;
An estimated amount of more than 34millions people die as a result of these diseases making it the leading cause of diseases and death around the world(WHO,2004)
This study aims to provide information as to the study of packaged drinking water marketed in selected areas of Chennai and sub urban.
This will give an understanding of the extent to which the products meet the standards.
