In rural Bangladesh, still many people use open water (e.g. river, pond, creek, fountain etc.)for drinking. Some of them drink this open water without purification. But some people use alum (Fitkari is Bengali word) for purification. This purification system is also very popular in Bangladesh. This method widely accepted as purified water although it is not proved that this method can actually kill all bacteria. But after putting alum in water it looks clear. It means that turbidity in water improve a lot but a significant number of bacteria survive within that water.
