The pipeline which is carrying water from the river to the houses gets rusted after some point of time. Periodically the strength of the pipe should be checked. Also it is to be tested for any other leakages. This helps in maintaining the safety standards of the pipe system. Hydrostatic testing is the best way to check leakages.

Water purification and waste water treatment is very crucial in household. Such problems cannot be solved by our family members and we need to call the experts who deal with these issues. They are known as plumber. They deal with issues like cleaning of toilet and septic tanks, fixing the leakages in the pipe, removing air blockages from water tanks etc.

Ancient times people had to walk several distance to store the water. The stagnant water in the house posed another threat of mosquitoes breading into it causing diseases. It was necessary to contain the water and have a constant running stream. This was only possible with the invention of pipelines. They also helped in segregating the pure and the waste water.

Gas is in the form of air which cannot be contained. But when we apply high pressure the state changes to liquid which can be stored in a cylinder. This has many applications like in factories, laboratories, hospitals and cooking. This material is highly inflammable and it can burst and cause accident as it is in a high pressurized state.

Water when heated is converted to steam. This has major application in various streams. There were times of steam age in olden days. The container in which water is boiled is called boiler. This vessel is made up of stainless steel or wrought iron. This container holds pressurized water so there are chances of accidents.

In order to manage the flow of water from river to our house there are water authority. The technique used is first the river water is stored in a dam to generate high pressure. Then water is released through massive pipes. Also the pressurized water is sent to turbines which generate electricity.

Water shortage is the lack of fresh water resource in order to meet the demand of people. The groundwater is depleting because of manmade structure which are causing the trees to cut down. This affects the weather causing irregular pattern of seasons. There is less rainfall so the rivers and lakes remain dry. This causes drought.

For our family and children drinking safe water is very important. Water that comes from the river cannot be consumed directly as it contains water born parasites or bacteria which can cause diseases. This has to be purified. There is ultra violet or reverse osmosis technology to clean the water. Earlier people used to boil water thoroughly before consumption.

Protecting our family from water born diseases should be our main focus. The resource from fresh water source is not pure hence it should be purified before consumption. Also we should periodic maintenance of the pipelines otherwise the sewer water will mix with fresh one if there is damage.
