Am a 20 years old boy, staying in a hostel for my studies. We are being supplied water in Clay Pots during summer season as we don't have a refrigerator to keep water cool. Is drinking water in such clay vessels safe for our health? I've heard that it can lead to kidney stones formation. Is this true? Please help me out by answering this question.

No need to worry, Water in clay pots is safe, as long as they are washed properly and water is stored in them. Ensure, the pots are washed every alternate day atleast
