1.1   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Water is central to human life and general living. It is essential to all forms of existence, and forms the very breath of life. There is hardly any human endeavour in which water is not involved. There is no substitute for it. Water is one of the most invigorating, soothing, and the most dynamic element of our landscape. It is the blood system of the atmosphere. Arunkumar and Nethaji Mariappan (2011) substantiated the relevance of water, as that which makes life possible, as without it; life and civilization cannot develop or survive. As man’s standard of living increases; so does his need for consumption of water.

Water is indispensible to human health, for the functioning of the ecosystem, food production and a wide range of economic activities. The following are the usefulness of water, among the wide range of uses: for drinking, food preparation, laundering, personal and environmental hygiene, power generation, sports and recreation.
