As a result some bacteria present in the water bodies will die due to the Sun\u2019s heat.<\/li>\n<li>Chlorination: Chlorine compounds are used to destroy all the disinfectants present in the water.

Is this water useful for us?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nAlthough 3\/4<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0of our earth is covered with water, about 97% of the water available in the seas and oceans is salt water. About 2% of water is in the fon of ice at the poles. This means, only 1% of water on the earth is useful for us.

The river water is filtered by separating all the unwanted materials and aerating the water with the process of sprinkling &amp; chlorination. The purified water is then sent to the area tanks, then the purified water is supplied through the pipe lines to the individual houses of that particular areas.<br \/>\ni. What is the process used to separate unwanted materials and microorganisms?<br \/>\nii. What is the main source of water for village people?<br \/>\niii.
