Aside from ancient Egypt, Sanskrit of ancient India back in 2000 B.C. also shows how they purify their drinking water through boiling, being heated in the sun, or by dipping a heated iron into it, or it may be purified by filtration through sand and coarse gravel and then allowed to cool. Other purification methods included the use of a kind of stone, known as “Gomedaka”, and the seed of Strychnos potatorum.

The quality of purified water conforms to the national standards for drinking water and is even better than the quality of water produced by traditional water supply systems in terms of removed impurities. The country has more than 3500 water refilling stations as of 2007. The industry is increasing as the demand for cheaper safe drinking water is also increasing.
