Water is colourless, tasteless and odourless, it is also the main constituent in all living organism body fluid and the earth’s hydrosphere.

Drinkable water is limited as fresh water quality is under constant pressure as there are various sources of contamination such as microbes, toxic substances and so on.
Even then we must ensure to keep our body hydrated as dehydration does more harm than good.
