Water is always said to be good for human body. When can it become excess or harmful to human body as to be able to determine appropriate daily intake?

Peter TAIWO Olagbemide

Firstly, I think it depends on the type of water. If it is water rich with algae, the presence of KNO3, which is a fertilizer will bring about voluminous production of algae, the decomposition of which will place demand on the available oxygen in the water and thus increases the chemical oxygen demand. I think this has to do with polluted environment and one of the adverse effects of nitrates on aquatic environment.
