ABSTRACT Water is the miracle elixir that can sustain us if we never drink anything else. The human body is majorly composed of water which is essential for nearly all body functions such as digestion and elimination.

It is paramount to ensure that drinking water is clean- free from any germs, chemicals and toxins. However, the quality of water that we use for drinking is not regulated.
