In this episode, the term “Potability” and its use in different contexts is explored. The term “potable” can have many different definitions depending on the jurisdiction which is governing the quality of water. Public perception of water when it is deemed potable, is generally that it is safe to use and consume. Jurisdictions do not claim that water is free from all contaminants when classified as potable. Public perceptions are commonly in line with the particular jurisdiction which regulates the water for specific contaminants with varying degrees of understanding about the overall water quality.
