المعنى
Water that is safe to drink.
خلفية ثقافية
Finns are extremely proud of their tap water. It is common to see people filling reusable bottles at public sinks. In the Finnish wilderness, 'puhdas vesi' is often found in fast-moving streams, but hikers are advised to use filters or boil water to be safe. Only 'puhdas vesi' should be used on sauna stones. Salt water or dirty water can damage the heater and create unpleasant air. The 'Clean Water' act in Finland is a major part of national policy, reflecting the value of the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes'.
Tap is Top
In Finland, never buy bottled water if a tap is available. It's a waste of money and plastic!
Blue-Green Algae
In summer, some lakes have 'sinilevä'. Even if the water looks 'puhdas', don't drink it if you see green flakes.
