Drinking water or potable water is water safe enough to be consumed by humans or used with low risk of immediate or long term harm. In most developed countries‚ the water supplied to households‚ commerce and industry meets drinking water standards‚ even though only a very small proportion is actually consumed or used in food preparation. Typical uses (for other than potable purposes) include toilet flushing‚ washing and landscape irrigation. Chlorination is the process of adding the element chlorine to water as

based upon osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the net movement of water molecules from a region with high concentration to a region with low concentration. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. This process will take place until it reaches the equilibrium state‚ which means that the water molecules will be distributed until there are no regions with

WATER AS OUR NATURAL RESOURSE There are more than 326 million trillion gallons of water on Earth. Less than 3 % of all this water is fresh water and of that amount‚ more than two-thirds is locked up in ice caps and glaciers. With so much water around it seems like there is enough to see us through for millions of years. But did you know that even water‚ which seems to be in abundance‚ might one day become scarce? Each time you throw something as garbage‚ think of where it will finally end up. Whether

Water and Soil Protection Soil Contamination: Soil contamination or soil pollution is caused by the presence of xenobiotic (human-made) chemicals or other alteration in the natural soil environment. It is typically caused by industrial activity‚ agricultural chemicals‚ or improper disposal of waste. The most common chemicals involved are petroleum hydrocarbons‚ polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (such as naphthalene and benzo (a) pyrene)‚ solvents‚ pesticides‚ lead‚ and other heavy metals.

Citric Acid is one of the organic acids commonly used as a chelating agent. It is considered an excellent chelating agent that binds metals. It is used to remove lime scale from boilers and evaporators. It can be used to soften water‚ which makes it useful in soaps and laundry detergents. By chelating the metals in hard water‚ it lets these cleaners
