Drinking Water Safety for Traveling in India
There is no big problem of clean drinking water in India. However,
you need to take certain precautions to ensure that you are drinking
clean and pure water. Some of these water precautions for India are
listed below :
- These Days bottled (mineral) water is available almost
everywhere. However, sometimes, cheap fake bottled water is also
given. To avoid this, make sure to check that that the seal of the
bottle is intact. Also, see if there is anything floating in it
before buying.
- Even when you are visiting restaurants or hotels, insist on
bottled (mineral) water. You will not face much trouble as almost
all the restaurants and hotels keep bottled water.
- Never ever drink water from roadside vendors selling water pumped
up from the vends tank. That water is not at all safe.
- You may also come across water being sold in polythene bags. Dont
drink it at all. Even this water is not safe.
- If you are staying at someones place, dont drink the
tap water. If they have aquagaurds or RO systems or other purifiers,
then its ok. Otherwise, insist on either boiled or bottled
(mineral) water.
