The problem of yellowing water should be taken very seriously. The reasons for changing the color of water are different, but they all require immediate action to eliminate them.
A large number of people are often faced with the problem of cloudy water. In this case, the water acquires a yellow tint and an unpleasant odor, and a thick sediment falls on the bottom of the container. There are many reasons accompanying this phenomenon, one of which is the increased content of iron in its composition. Such iron is univalent and unstable; when it enters the body, it is oxidized with many useful chemicals that are vital for the human body. Accordingly, nutrients under the influence of iron are converted into other compounds, often dangerous. That is why water with a high iron content is extremely harmful to the body. You should be very careful about this problem and never use yellowed water for cooking. This water does not in the best way affect human skin. Excess iron in the composition can cause an allergic reaction, dermatitis, and strongly affect the blood. Therefore, even the water intended for bathing must be purified by a special filtering device. The closeness of clay rocks to underground sources contributes to the yellowing of the water in the well - dust-like particles get into the water and give it a characteristic yellow tint. This usually happens if, during the construction of a well, mistakes were made in the technology of its construction, and the filtering layers of the wooden bottom, crushed stone and sand were not properly equipped. Quite often, in the autumn, the water turns yellow in ponds, lakes and other bodies of water. This transformation occurs due to contact with water falling from trees, a natural process of decay begins. As a result of these reactions, they take on the appearance of loose yellow formations, which dissolve in water and give it an appropriate shade. A similar process can be observed exclusively in reservoirs with stagnant water, since in rivers with a fast flow, the water is constantly renewed.
