Freshwater in a lake can contain various natural impurities, such as sediments, organic matter, and microorganisms, which may not meet the safety standards for drinking water. Potable water is treated and filtered to remove contaminants and ensure it is safe for human consumption. Additionally, lakes can have fluctuating water quality due to environmental factors, while potable water undergoes consistent monitoring and purification processes to maintain its safety and quality.
