Shri S Nambi Narayanan says “With Bookwater, drinking clean water is no longer rocket science. Bookwater with it’sconnected can technology is solving fundamental problems concerning drinking water. Am happy to be associated with a brand with such noble intent and purpose.”

With the detoriating condition of ground water and limitedaccess to clean water. India is

increasingly relying on bottled water. As per the latestavailable National Statistical Office’s report, an estimated12.2% of urban Indian households rely on bottled water fortheir drinking water needs – up significantly from 2.7% in2009. Most of this water is sourced through 20L plastic watercans.

But is the water we consume from these 20L CANs safe?

There are many aspects to water cans; the material, the usage, the standards, age, storage conditions among others.Many of the cans in which drinking water is stored are noteven food grade!

Even leading brands are often counterfeited, and duplicates areprevalent in the market. Even if the cans were of a good quality, they cans are reused so many times that they are “no longer safe” to touch drinking water – the elixir of life.

When water cans are used repeatedly, microcracks form inside the CANs due to stress and UV ray damage. Microorganismssuch as algae and fungi embed into these cracks and cannot beflushed out completely even with disinfectants. This is the reason why certain CANs acquire a greenish tinge andeffectively put the health of consumers at significant risk.Further, the degrading CANs leech significantly more microplastics into the drinking water since their structural integrity has been compromised. Consuming thesemicroplastics poses several chronic and long-term healtheffects ranging from potentially life-threatening diseases suchas cancer to neurological diseases

There are multiple reports from both governmental as well asNongovernmental organizations that describe the issue ofcontaminated water in 20 L containers.
