WASH Booklet for Children

Safe water is very important for good health. But how do you know if your drinking water is safe? Safe water should be colourless, odourless, and taste fresh. If the water smells or tastes strange, do not drink it, tell an adult immediately.

It’s also important to store drinking water properly. Always keep it in clean and covered containers to protect it from dirt, dust, and insects. Many people in India use water filters to make sure their water is clean. Filters help remove germs, dirt, and harmful chemicals from the water.

If you see particles floating in the water, or if it looks cloudy, it may not be safe to drink. It is better to boil or filter it first. Sometimes, even clear water can have germs that are harmful. 

Clean water is the key to staying healthy. Always be sure about the quality of the water you drink. With safe water, you and your family can avoid many health problems and live healthier lives.
