Why should we drink boiled water during the rainy season?

Solution

We should drink boiled water to prevent ourselves from water−borne diseases. In the rainy season, the source of drinking water gets contaminated easily and this can result in the spread of water-borne diseases such as cholera, typhoid etc. Boiling the water kills most of these disease−causing microorganisms present in the water.
