Abstract

Water is the most important resource and is vital for all life on the earth. The well-being and development of our society is dependent on the availability of water. The most precious resource is sometimes scarce, sometime abundant and is always very unevenly distributed. In the ancient time human required water for the drinking, bathing, cooking etc. but with the advancement in the civilization, the utility of water enormously increased.
