According to the World Health Organization (WHO), recontamination of drinking water during storage and handling is a major concern, even after purification. Water most often become unsafe if stored in open or unclean containers. A combined approach is crucial: household-level water purification, such as solar disinfection or filtration, paired with safe storage methods like "closed systems"—containers with secure lids or taps that keep water sealed off from contaminants—can dramatically reduce the risk of waterborne diseases. This dual solution helps ensure water remains safe from source to sip. #WaterSafety #HouseholdPurification #CleanWater #HealthSolutions #SustainablePractices #WHO
