Zimbabwe’s common water resources are: Common water sources, namely shallow wells, taps, narrow wells, and boreholes but the water that comes out from the taps is neither clean nor safe to drink so people depend on boreholes but even borehole water is not safe for drinking.
Main water resources are: Surface water is water from the river, rainwater, lake or freshwater wetland, which can be treated using different methods, such as Self Cleaning Water Filters, and magnetic water structured & conditioner device. Ground Water or brackish water is from water located in the pore space of soil and rock “Borehole well”, which can be treated using Self Cleaning Water Filters. Municipal water supply, which could have a high level of hardness or high level of chlorine, can be treated with Magnetic water structured & conditioner devices. Magnetic water structured & conditioner devices remove: → Dissolved minerals that cause hard water – calcium and magnesium → Dissolved iron and manganese → Scale
