The serious and deadly waterborne disease such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid etc have killed millions throughout history.WHO (world health organisation) estimated waterborne diarrhea disease currently is responsible for 2 million deaths each year. Beside waterborne diseases caused by bacteria and parasites, water contaminated with animal & human wastes, pesticides, chemicals particularly heavy metals are also impacting health in a major way.
