The need for good quality drinking water packaged under very stringent hygienic
condition cannot be over emphasized. When one considers the costly effect of water
borne diseases like craw-craw, worm infections, water blindness, dysentery, diarrhea,
typhoid fever, cholera to mention but few, it becomes paramount to go for clean (pure)
water.
Without adequate clean water one suffers dehydration and eventual death. Water
provides the medium in which all biochemical reactions take place. Water also plays a
major role in the “evolution of biological systems”.
Almost 80 per cent of all hospitals in Nigeria today lack good potable water; hence the
need to remove the entire undesirable elements and pathogens it may contain through
treatment.
Pure portable water is very essential for healthy living. It has no substitute.
From the above, investment into innovative purification and packaging of colorless,
odorless and tasteless, drinking water seems a very lucrative business. Already there is
rampant and most popular way of packaging water in bottles usually called Bottle water”
and sold for N150.
The demand for bottle water nationwide is much considering the simple hypothesis that
out of every hundred Nigerian, seventy people drink package water . Even with the
geometric increase in the number of bottle water factories the demand is still
persistently high because the price is still within the reach of majority of the population.
