It’s a sad fact, but the major source of water pollution today is human beings. We just cannot seem to understand that dumping things into water supplies contaminates them beyond redemption, in some instances. Since water is so critical to our very existence, one would think that people would understand that throwing things into the water only makes it contaminated. Sources that were once sustainable become unfit for human consumption. One wonders what people are […]

For years there has been a great debate over which kind of water is the best, filtered or distilled. It usually boils down to personal choice, but the fact remains that for the purest water available, distillation is the best method of obtaining safe drinking water. Many people who are “water aware” spend a lot of time and energy searching the Internet for what they feel is the perfect filtration system for their home. They […]

It’s been a long time coming. La Bahia is getting a new well. The residents in this small town that’s officially 261 years old have had a long running battle with local authorities over the quality of their water. Why? Because for many years they have had problems with contaminated water wells that have tested positive for fecal coliform bacteria. Not a nice thing to find out about the water you have been drinking under […]

Central Wyoming residents are highly suspicious of a drilling technique being used in their area and are certain it has contaminated their water. Unfortunately, they won’t know for sure if that is the case until the results from testing are back in July. The process they take exception to, called fracking, has evidently turned their water a different color and it now has a horrid smell to it. Most of the families in town may […]

Rapid City, South Dakota, has been pounded lately with some of the worst rain storms in recent memory. As a result of all that extra water being dumped on the area, flooding is a real concern. Another major concern also happens to be what is coming out of the tap. While people won’t be able to “see” what’s in the water, thanks to the heavy rains, the water has become dangerous. This is the perfect […]

It’s hard to picture this, but it’s true. The US Environmental Agency provided bottled water to people in Rogersville, MO. In a moment that can only be defined as truly astounding, the US Environmental Agency (EPA) actually trucked in bottled water to residents in Rogersville, Mo., when 12 wells had been identified as being contaminated with TCE (trichloroethylene) and E. coli. Not a nice combination to be sure and no one seems to know where […]

A radioactive water leak that started over a year ago is leaking into an aquifer that provides New Jersey with water. This radioactive water leak at a nuclear power plant started over a year ago (April 9, 2009) and since then it has been slowly spreading underground in the area aquifer. One might ask why something wasn’t done about it before now. Now, this contaminated water is beginning to seep into the aquifer that gives […]

If you’re in a bad situation, don’t drink the water. Ensure you have distilled water on hand. It’s usually best to try and think ahead when it comes to things like natural disasters or boil water warnings. If you’ve had problems in your area before, then have a supply of distilled water ready to go if you need it. Given the weird climate the world is experiencing lately, it’s not too much of a stretch […]

Framingham has a problem. A chemical corporation’s abandoned site is next to a school and close to homes. One of the largest employers in the town of Framingham admits it did dirty work in a facility just down the road from a school. The records show that since they first set up in the city, they have always been in trouble too over toxic spills. They’ve even been sued. While the concerns are definitely valid, […]

This story about contaminated water takes place in Canada at a military base. Base residents are concerned about their health. While the Canadian military is indicating that they have been upfront, open and transparent about the contaminated water supply at 14 Wing Greenwood, base residents aren’t so sure that is actually the case. Aside from the issue of honesty, many base residents are also checking out a viable alternative to drinking anything on base, water […]
