What Is Hard Water?
Hard water contains high concentrations of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. In India, water hardness is measured in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per litre (mg/L) of calcium carbonate equivalent.
The Indian City Problem
Cities like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Chennai frequently report water hardness levels above 300 ppm — well above the WHO recommended limit of 200 ppm for drinking water.
Hard water is not a health risk in itself, but it causes significant domestic and industrial problems costing Indian households thousands of rupees annually.
