Hard Water - Water Quality
White sediment, typically caused by dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium associated with water hardness, is visible in water at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 10, 2024. These minerals often become visible when water is exposed to oxygen, boiled, frozen, or when it dries on surfaces. The white flakes are usually harmless calcium deposits, which precipitate as water interacts with oxygen. Home water filters are commonly used to remove these minerals, which can lead to the appearance of white flakes or deposits. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
