Water plays an important role in the lives of most living beings. Though it is abundant on planet earth, 97% is salt water and unfit for human consumption. Out of the available water resource only 1% is fit for human consumption and the remaining 2% is frozen. In the recent decade, water has become a scarce commodity. A main factor for the scarcity of water is due to increased amount of usage by the growing population.
