“Every day we use large amounts of water for many different purposes: we use water for drinking, washing dishes, showering, flushing, making dinner, and many other purposes. But water is used not only in domestic uses: humans also use it in industries and agriculture.”
“If stored properly in 3- or 5-liter containers, water can remain stored for about two years. Smaller containers of 1 to 2.5 liters are made of thinner plastic and can be stored for about six months. They cannot be stored longer because they are very susceptible to odor penetration.”
“Special attention should be paid to how water is stored: it should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place away from cleaning agents and other chemicals. Water can pick up odors from substances that cannot be detected in the air, so attention should always be paid to the properties of other substances that are stored with it.”
