The Harsh Reality of Our Drinkable Water

Not All Clear Water Is Truly Safe

In Bangladesh, we often assume if water looks clean— it’s safe. But beneath that clear appearance, harmful elements like arsenic, lead, bacteria, and industrial waste could be lurking. The truth is unsettling: millions are consuming contaminated water daily without knowing the risk.

Fact: According to WHO, over 60 million people in Bangladesh are at risk from unsafe drinking water.

What ‘Drinkable’ Water Should Mean

Drinkable water, by global standards, must be free from harmful microbes and chemicals. However, research in Bangladesh shows alarming levels of:

·         Arsenic – from deep tube wells

·         E. coli and pathogens – due to poor sanitation

·         Iron and manganese – from naturally contaminated sources

·         Chlorine by-products – in some treated water sources

So what we think is safe, often isn’t.

The Cost of Unsafe Water Is Too High

Drinking unsafe water impacts more than health. It affects:

·         Children missing school due to illness

·         Families spending on treatment of preventable diseases

·         Workforce productivity loss due to frequent illness

·         Nationwide economic strain

UNICEF estimates 80% of diseases in developing countries come from unsafe water.

Technology Can Save Us— If We Use It

Modern purification methods like RO (Reverse Osmosis), UV purification, and multi-stage filtration can eliminate up to 99.9% of contaminants. However, in reality:

·         Many households don’t use any filtration system

·         Cost and awareness remain barriers

·         Most think water purifiers are a luxury, not a life-saving solution
