Abahamba ngezinyawo, baya enkambeni elikude, bathuthele futhi bagcinwe ngamanzi ezitsheni zesiliva. Le nsimbi yayisetshenziselwa ukwenza izitsha nokuhlobisa. Iqiniso liyazi ukuthi abaphathi bomkhankaso ka-Alexander Omkhulu, ngokungafani namasosha ajwayelekile, cishe abazange balimale, nakuba babezimo ezifanayo. Futhi emva kweminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili lokhu kutholakala, kuvela ukuthi izikhulu zika-Alexander Omkhulu ziphuza izitsha zesiliva, futhi izikhali ezivamile ziphuza e-tin.
AmaNdiya asendulo ayesazi nezakhiwo eziwusizo zesiliva futhi azisebenzisa, okungukuthi, ngamanzi ashisayo eshisayo. Futhi uma kwenzeka ukwehluleka kwamathambo emathunjini, ngisho nezinhlamvu ezincane zensimbi yensimbi yangaphakathi zithathwe. Imithi yasendulo yayazi ukuthi isiliva siphumelela ngokuphumelelayo imifino ye-pathogenic futhi ayilimazi i-mucosa yomuntu.
Sekuyisikhathi eside saziwa ukuthi amanzi eMfuleni iG Ganges abonakala ngezakhiwo eziningi zokuphulukisa. Abaningi abahamba ngezinyawo bafika kulo mfula ukuze baqede izinkinga ezihlukahlukene zesikhumba, kuhlanganise namagundane angaphilisi. Akuyona into yokuthi umfula unegama elithi "umfula ongcwele". Amanzi omhlaba alo mfula ahlanjululwa ngediphozi enkulu yesiliva.
EGibhithe lasendulo, kwakunetshenziswe amapuleti esiliva ukuphulukisa amanxeba.
Njengoba kuboniswa ukuhlola okuningi kososayensi, isiliva liyakwazi ukubhekana nezinhlobo ezingamakhulu ayisikhombisa zamabhaktheriya, izifungi eziningi kanye nama-virus. Ukuqhathanisa, noma yimaphi ama-antibiotic angabhekana nezinhlobo eziyisikhombisa kuphela zamabhaktheriya.
Isiliva singabangela umonakalo ohlelweni lwe-enzyme ye-microorganism, okuzovimba ukukhula nokukhiqiza, futhi ngeke kubangele ukulutha nokulutha emzimbeni.
Izakhiwo zesiliva kwelinye izwe sezilokhu zisetshenziselwa ukwakha imigqa yamanzi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isiliva isetshenziselwa ukubulala amagciwane ngamachibi. Ngeshwa, emazweni ethu isilinganiso esinjalo sokungcola kwamanzi asikwenziwanga, ngakho-ke sebenzisa i-silverware ekhaya. Kodwa kufanele kuqaphele ukuthi ukudlula ngokweqile kwesiliva kungabangela ukubukeka kwemithi, okungabonakalisa njengobumnyama besikhumba.
