STAGE 4 (part 1)

* So after finalising the points on which my main problem depends on and after conducting the survey I researched more on the main problems to find their exact causes.

  • SMELLING WATER
*Water may smell because of:
- Plumbing systems
-Presence of other smells
-Chlorinated water (Original chlorine level is 0.2-2.0 parts per million<ppm>.Once it exceeds this level water begins to smell)
-Hot water may smell because of the magnesium heating rod.
-Most problems are felt in:
  1. Drinking water
  2. Drainage water
1.DRINKING WATER
  • Drinking water can smell because of it being stored in pressure tanks or the usual tanks which are used to store water.
  • It can also be because of certain types of algae,fungi and bacteria growth in water supply especially during warm weather.
*Taste of drinking water
  • Drinking water can start tasting bitter or funny because of the  high levels of Sodium,Magnesium,or Potassium...this can also give salty taste.
  • Living near a contaminated/polluted water place, that may mix with drinking water through seeping. THIS CAN BE A HEALTH THREAT.



2.DRAINAGE WATER

  • Drainage water can smell because of the bacteria growth in the drain or because of the decay of any organic material.
  • Drainage problem can be faced because of:
           -Too much soil around drainage system
           -No way for the dirt in the drainage to go out
           -A build up of hair can cause block age
           -Throwing food
           -Dumping toilet papers of any sanitary items.
