Water from aquifers (groundwater) is generally considered to be microbiologically safe – the water entering them from the surface is filtered by passing through many metres of soils and geological layers. However, groundwater is also likely to be affected by the geological structure and may be hard (containing calcium ions) or have arsenic, iron, manganese, or other chemicals in them which may have to be removed. Surface water from lakes or rivers on the other hand is presumed not
