With rain in our forcast for the last couple of days and more on the way, I thought I would bring a few articles on our drinking water. As I take a drink (of water), I will begin:
First, this one just came up over at Green Right Now entitled “The World’s Water Needs: A Global Perspective” by Shermakaye Bass. I found it a good primer to start this topic out with.
Next we have an article on drinking water by the AP (via the San Francisco Chronicle) entitled ” AP Probe Finds Drugs in Drinking Water”. This is very scary!
As of that’s not scary enough, try “Sewer to Spigot” Recycled Water” by Anjali Athvaley at the Wall Street Journal.
And here’s one more to make you worry despite the title of “Officials Say Spill Doesn’t Threaten Drinking Water” by Christopher Boyce at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
And as the first article imply’s, it’s a issue world wide. Check out “Vanishing Central African Glaciers Threaten Water Supplies of Millions” at the Environmental News Network.
Cheers!
