Clean Water and Women Health: Know the Connection

Clean Water and Women Health: Know the Connection

8th March is celebrated as International Women’s Day worldwide. On this International Women’s Day, let’s throw some light on the importance of clean water for women’s health and safety. Easy access to clean drinking water, sanitation and hygiene is the key element of life. Life without these is a life of poor health, nutrition, education, and employment. In India, there are many rural and urban areas where the citizens remain deprived of access to clean water to meet daily needs. Due to this, the entire mankind suffers, and women the most. An improper water distribution or simply lack of water has many negative effects on women’s overall health condition because she has more cultural and biological needs than men with respect to water usage.

Due to unavailability of functioning toilets, many women in rural areas of India still travel far to urinate and defecate. This often puts them at risk for infections, diseases, sexual harassment, and other physical and emotional violence. Women spend a lot of time in bringing water home from far off regions to meet their daily water needs. This might result in missing school, work and playtime for many. A menstruating woman when lack a safe, clean and private toilet has to suffer a lot while maintaining the hygiene that is most required during this period. A lack of menstrual hygiene products might put them on the risk of infection that can be dangerous. For a pregnant woman, a lack of access to clean water can become a matter of life and death. A lack of water for washing during these days can spread infections that are harmful to both the mother and child.

This problem does not remain restricted to rural areas only but urban cities also do not remain unaffected. In urban cities, although the condition of water supply is better, the quality of water still remains questionable. Water storage tanks play a very important role here. It is essential to clean our domestic and commercial water storage tanks in India to avoid any water contamination on a regular interval.

Avoid any water wastage as it is scarce and not free anymore. Let the whole nation get a fair amount of water supply that they deserve to survive. Let’s make WASH(water, sanitation, and hygiene) for women stronger this Women’s Day.

Simple Tips To Maintain Your Water Storage Tank

Simple Tips To Maintain Your Water Storage Tank

At least once in our lifetime, there arises a need to install a water storage tank to meet those domestic and commercial needs. The task of installing a tank is actually simple but the challenge lies in its maintenance. After getting a tank installed, it simply sits in one place and does not move or comes in our daily eye contact. Over the years, it is forgotten by most of us. Our water storage tank that sits on the terrace or below the ground of our domestic or commercial property needs regular maintenance. Tank maintenance means water quality inspection. Good quality water is directly proportional to good health. We can call it a set and forget project that may lead to building up sediments settle in the bottom of the tank, growth of algae, and other water contaminants. Therefore, it becomes imperative to maintain our water storage tanks on a regular basis, ideally every 4 or 6 months on a case to case basis.

Here, maintenance of the tank not only refers to cleaning of the tank but also watching out on the below:

Inspect all gutters

The cleaning starts with inspecting all the gutters around the property. Dirty gutters that contain debris and other rubbish build up sludge and sediments.

Check all gaps and openings

With time, the tank might develop some gaps and openings that can disinfect the water in many ways. The water tank, in any case, should be tightly sealed and no light, air or dust should enter the tank. These gaps and openings or any other damage need to be repaired.

Check all outlets and access points

All the outlets and access points should be clean and debris free. Do check the pipes as well for any leakage.

Inspect and access the sediment level

The sediments have a nature to settle at the bottom of the tank. These sediments need to be removed by cleaning the water tank every 4 or 6 months depending upon the quality of a water storage tank.

Set a reminder

The months roll around very quickly, so set a reminder. Repeat the above-mentioned process every six months in case of Penguin Water storage tanks. Our tanks are supposedly the best quality plastic water tanks in India.

It is best to hire a professional to get this job done as they are experts to deliver this job in the best possible way in less time.

The Importance of Good Water Quality

The Importance of Good Water Quality

The Importance of Good Water Quality

We have learned to test the water quality at home in the previous month’s blog here: Afraid of Water Pollution? Learn to test water quality At Your Home

Now you know how to test the quality of water and do it conveniently at home. But why is it required? Have you wondered what is the importance of good water quality? Let us find out.

The water that we consume is directly proportional to good health. Bad water or contaminated water is bad for our health and is the primary reason behind many health problems. Good quality water is not only important for us humans but also good for home appliances that we use on an everyday basis as well. Apart from human uses, its quality is equally important to animals and plants as well. Our surroundings and the environment suffers drastically when the quality of water is low.

What exactly is the water quality? Water quality refers to the chemical, physical, biological, radiological and aesthetic(smell and appearance) characteristics of water. Water has many different uses such as supplying drinking water, recreation uses(swimming, boating, parks etc.), industrial processes, irrigation, navigation, shipping, wildlife habitats, protection of aquatic ecosystems, production of edible fish, shellfish and crustaceans, scientific study and education etc. Therefore, you can understand how strongly contaminated water can affect our surroundings and environment. In addition, the commercial and recreation value of water sources might diminish as well.

How does water become contaminated? The hydrological cycle moves water from the air to the earth and this process repeats. It acts as a natural solvent that dissolves everything it touches. Therefore, water is never pure and it contains contaminants such as bacteria, wastewater, animal waste, chemicals, detergents, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, air pollution, sulfur from smokestack, lead from pipe solder, hard minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and other minerals such as arsenic, limestone and many more.

A water storage tank that stores water on a regular basis to meet all our water storage needs daily does not remain unaffected too. A water storage tank goes through a lot such as changing climatic conditions, dust, dirt, etc. Therefore, it is important to use the best quality plastic water storage tank in India and clean the tank on a regular basis. The above-mentioned contaminants can affect the quality of water inside the water storage tanks as well. Therefore, take care of water by using a good domestic and commercial water storage tank and maintain its quality.

This winter season, keep your plastic water tank both clean and clear

This winter season, keep your plastic water tank both clean and clear

This winter season, keep your plastic water tank both clean and clear

Winter has arrived. This is supposedly the best season but not so friendly for the above-ground water storage tanks. Cold climate and water never make a good combination. In areas with extremely cold climatic conditions, freezing of water tanks is a common problem. To know more about how to prevent your water tanks from freezing in winter, read the blog mentioned below: How To Keep Water Storage Tanks From Freezing In Winter?

Water is the most important ingredient in life. A single day without water is impossible as we simply cannot survive without the same. Water gets a regular supply from the plastic water storage tanks throughout the year. Therefore, regular water tank maintenance is mandatory. Apart from regular cleaning and inspecting a tank, it is also important to keep it clear. In winter, the most common problem is the freezing of water tanks. This happens in mostly hilly areas. But there is a solution to this as well.

In case of smaller tanks and buckets, we experimented something amazing and found its result all the more amazing. Plastic bottles with salt water in it helped keep the water tanks from freezing completely over. The tanks and buckets with bottles froze lesser in comparison with those without any bottles. Also, the plastic tanks froze less in comparison to steel tanks. And the saltwater bottles were still unfrozen. After having tried and tested this multiple times, it can be concluded that it works best for small sized tanks and buckets. However, you can try the same application with large tanks as well and see if the result is the same as smaller ones. You might have to put some more and bigger sized bottles.

This application will work best for feeding birds and animals as well. During the winter season, it is a common problem faced by many of us. Put one or two of these saltwater bottles in the buckets and see the water won’t freeze. Do not deprive these birds and animals of drinking water in winters. After all, they need to quench their thirst in the winter season too. In fact, it is recommended to drink more water during the winter season as we feel less thirsty and end up drinking less water. Keeping yourself hydrated is equally important in the winter season as well. Animals and birds are definitely not an exception here as they are also living beings. Enjoy the Winters and Drink Water!
