    Objectives

     To compare the purification levels of bottled and tap


    water.

     To analyze whether bottled water offers better health


    benefits.

     To examine the economic and environmental impact of


    bottled water.

     To determine if bottled water is worth the cost


    compared to tap water.
    Introduction

    Water is a basic necessity for survival, and ensuring its purity


    is crucial for health. While tap water is treated and regulated
    by local authorities, bottled water is often marketed as a
    cleaner and safer alternative. This project investigates
    whether bottled water is genuinely more purified than tap
    water by analyzing various factors such as microbial content,
    chemical composition, and environmental implications.
    Method & Procedure

    1. Sample Collection: Collected samples of bottled


    water from five popular brands and tap water from
    different localities.

    2. Testing Parameters: Tested for pH levels, TDS (Total


    Dissolved Solids), microbial content, and chemical
    pollutants.

    3. Lab Testing: Conducted laboratory tests for microbial


    analysis and chemical composition.

    4. Comparison: Compared the data obtained from


    bottled and tap water samples.
    Materials and Resources Used

     Bottled water samples from Brand A, B, C, D, and E.

     Tap water samples from different regions.

     pH meter, TDS meter, and laboratory equipment for


    microbial testing.

     Internet resources, articles, and research papers.

     Laboratory facilities for water testing.


    Observations and Data

    Parameter Tap Water (Average) Bottled Water

    pH Level 7.5 7.2

    TDS (ppm) 250 180

    Microbial Content (CFU) Present Absent

    Chemical Pollutants Trace amounts Absent


    Analysis of Data
    1. Bottled water showed lower TDS levels, indicating
    fewer dissolved solids than tap water.

    2. Tap water sometimes contained microbial


    contamination due to local infrastructure issues, while
    bottled water was free from microbes.

    3. Bottled water had negligible chemical pollutants,


    whereas trace amounts were found in tap water.

    Environmental Considerations:

    While bottled water appears cleaner, its environmental


    impact due to plastic waste and carbon emissions in
    production is significant compared to tap water.
    Conclusion

    Bottled water is generally more purified than tap water in


    terms of microbial content and chemical composition.
    However, the economic cost and environmental impact of
    bottled water outweigh the marginal benefits. Proper
    filtration of tap water at home can achieve similar results at a
    lower cost and reduced environmental burden.
