do you know real colour of pure drinking water? if you dont know?

True color of drinking water isn't a color at all since a clear see threw object has never been defined as a color. Any water with any color added to it isn't pure. I've been to rainbow springs in Florida and the water at the mouth of the spring's is so clear you can see everything threw it to the floor clear as day. Trust me its beautiful.

Ok, I don't have a degree or anything, but "drinking" water should be clear, odorless and tasteless. If it has a color it could be due to a number of things. Orange, brown, red or yellow water is usually due to rust deposits on pipes becomes dislodged by the water flow and coloring the water. It isn't considered a health risk by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, but I wouldn't be gulping it down. Now, brown to black water can be caused by a high level of manganese in your water, which can be easily detected with test stripes available at your local hardware store. Green water can be copper corrosion in the plumping or brass from joints, though if in warmer weather it may be from a local rise in the green algae population. White or milky water is often air in the water, if it clears in a minute or two, you're most likely good to go. If it doesn't clear after four or five minutes contact your local department of water. Blue water is very rare but can happen if you have sever copper corrosion. You should contact the city and your land lord and stop drinking the water until someone has checked it for safety. Various odors and tastes can happen because of a variety of bacteria. If any of the following are present contact your local water department. Bleach, chemical or sulpherous, decayed, sewage or moldy. All of these could be hints of a serious problem and should be looked at before continuing to drink the water. If the water has a metallic taste to it is the pipes in your local plumbing system. It should be okay to drink, but if you are concerned about you you can always get some test stripes and find out exactly whats in there. Hope that this helps. Good luck.

As per the version of Chemistry, drinking water or pure water is a colourless and odourless liquid that is plentily avilable in Nature in comparison to other liquids. For our bio-sphere, water is also called 'Life'. Without water, life is totaly imposible. In my opinion, global warming will never afect the colour of drinking water and it will cause the sea-water level to rise up. Thanks for this nice posting and have a good day!

Water is colorless,tasteless and odourless.I studied last semester and also passed that semester

Hello priyankajudiya! I never have given this any thought. I always thought water was clear, myself. If it looked red or yellow, I wouldn't drink it. There's no telling what might be in it. If there's not anything in it, it still might be a chance to take. I know I won't drink water if it looks dirty. Kathy.
