Americans think that they are drinking pure water bu that's not the case there are millions of Americans who are drinking unsafe water obtained from source that does not contain safe drinking water. Americans have to pay more money if they want to drink pure water and that is not the case in rural areas. According to some officials water in U.S is safe but still in some areas Americans are drinking unsafe water and that problem is increasing every year.
Unsafe water can cause diseases especially when it contains bacteria that is responsible for bacterial contamination. The problem is small water system in counties like Texas can not afford to install latest technologies that's why they are drinking contaminated water.
They first need to stop bacteria to get into the water and then if there are microbes in bacteria then there is need to kill them. In Texas due to high temperature it become easier for bacteria to breed that's why there is need to install wood chip bioreactors to reduce the amount of nitrates in run off water.

I live a short distance away from Flint, MI so safe drinking water has been a huge item on our radar for the past year or two. Luckily we have the Great Lakes to provide a source of "clean" water. Sometimes though like Flint it isn't the source that is the main issue, but the distribution system that is in place that makes the water impure. Thank you for your thoughtful post. I know in recent news there have been more and more municipalities finding they have unsafe levels of lead and other substances in their water. -@bozz
More than 840,000 people die each year from water-related disease. so be careful about this.
@phonixs Yeah you are right. it is such a big-issue, yet pushed aside for other seemingly-greater ones that hinges on open politics
but what should we do?
Nice epic photo your good..Mr.danyal
Thanks for your post. In Hawaii most of our drinking water comes from ground water. One problem is that many homes were built using cesspools (especially in the past) and now the contents of the cesspools are leeching into the ground water. Our Team is building an off grid house that will be generating water from the air.
I do not think anyone in the entire planet knows what this consumer is for sure. but we continue doing it, I think that after a while there will be so many diseases and that is when we will really start taking actions to better treat the water and the food we consume.
this topic is very interresting cause there is an international problem of water, not only in usa. even after killing bacteria water can be not healthy cause they are using much of chlorine and fluorine and that's dangerous for health, so natural mineral water is the best and it's drinkable without chemical treatement, but this one is not available for every one in the world, cause it's only 3pourcent of world water. thank you for this post.
