Sanitation Method for Drinking Water

Description Sanitation method of drinking water refers to ways of making water potable. Boiling is the most effective way in killing all the vegetative bacteria, viruses, and fungi wherein the water is boiled for at least 2 minutes more after reaching boiling point of 100 degrees. Filtration requires no electricity and usually used to separate particles and fluid. Sedimentation is a method wherein the impurities in water are allowed to settled at the bottom of the container for 30 minutes- 1 hour and pouring the top part in a new clean container without creating turbulence. Flocculation and sedimentation is a method that uses aluminum sulfate (tawas) to form precipitates of the impurities found in the turbid water and allowing them to settle at the bottom of the container. Aeration is a sanitation method that transfers water from one container to another or by stirring water. Chemical disinfection is a purification process that kills or removes biological contaminants. Buying commercially prepared water refers to the container water that comes from stores. Data was obtained through surveyed. Table Sanitation Method for Drinking Water Boiling Filtration Ready to Drink Others None Total:

Frequency Percentage 12 40% 1 3% 17 0 0 30 57% 0% 0% 100.00%

None Others Ready to Drink Filtration Boiling 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60%

Interpretation: The table shows that there were 57 % or 17 Families that are using of commercially prepared water, 40% or 12 families are using of boiling method in sanitation of water and 3% or 1 family is using filtration.
