Abstract

Water is essential for life and no living creature on earth can survive without it. Astonishingly, in many countries including India, drinking water supplies have become heavily contaminated, which has impacted human health. Contaminants such as arsenic, fluoride, nitrates, salts, bacteria, and viruses have found their way into different water supplies as a result of inadequate treatment and disposal of waste (human and livestock), industrial discharges, and over-utilization of limited water sources (Singh and Mosley, S Pac J Nat Sci 21:31–34, 2003).
