1. About safe drinking Water
According to the World Health Organization's 2017 report, safe drinking-water is water that
"does not represent any significant risk to health over a lifetime of consumption, including
different sensitivities that may occur between life stages"

2. Bottled classification
Bottled water is classified into 3 type:
a. Spring Water
Spring water comes from an underground source. Natural springs generally form along the
sides of hills and in mountain valleys, and the path the water takes through the mountain
rocks to the surface acts as a natural form of filtration.
b. Purified water
Purified water is water that has been highly treated -- through distillation(ញែក), deionization or

other suitable processes

c. Mineral water
Mineral water is water from a mineral spring that contains various minerals, such as salts and
sulfur compounds.

3. Water filters
water filter is the process of removing any harmful impurities from water.
Water filters use two different techniques to remove dirt. Physical filtration means straining
water to remove larger impurities.
Another method of filtering, chemical filtration, involves passing water through an active
material that removes impurities chemically as they pass through.

4. Four types of water filters

a. Activated carbon
b. Reverse osmosis
c. Ion exchange
 Ion exchange filters are made from lots of zeolite beads containing sodium ions. Hard
water contains magnesium and calcium compounds and, when you pour it into an ion-
exchange filter, these compounds split apart to form magnesium and calcium ions. The filter
beads find magnesium and calcium ions more attractive than sodium, so they trap the
incoming magnesium and calcium ions and release their own sodium ions to replace them.
Without the magnesium and calcium ions, the water tastes softer and (to many people) more
pleasant
d. Distillation
