Question
Chapter 25, Problem 2TMW
Summary Introduction
To tell:
The risks associated with the drinking of lake water even if the surface of lake looks clear.
Introduction:
The lake is the source of fresh water and its water is considered to be potable. When the water is polluted by contaminants, it increases the risks associated with drinking lake’s water. The water should not be used for drinking even if the lake surface appears clean because the water may have harmful microbes that can be harmful even fatal to individuals.
