But my question is how do we know that water is still clean when it leaves the main source and starts to be moved/traveled through different pipes and such.]]> 2021-05-24 14:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553847021 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553859679 American water is full of contaminants that cause  health problems. These compounds take thousands of years to go away/be destroyed. called PFASs. These chemicals are not just in water, they are in everyday things like floss and firefighter water.

Water goes through a lot of places just to get tested and cleaned. The remaining wastewater is disinfected before it is discharged to the receiving waters. This stream of treated wastewater, known as effluent, travels through a 9.5-mile tunnel drilled through solid rock more than 250 feet below the ocean floor.]]> 2021-05-24 14:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553861007 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553871354 Experts warn contamination in water can lead to cancer, gastrointestinal diseases and developmental delays in children.
A question I have is If they knew how much the water in michigan can affect the children than why didn't they help them right away as soon as they found out how bad the water was?]]> 2021-05-24 14:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553871354 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553872900 the water comes naturally in the reservior from the rain and snow. the water gets into contact with plants and soil to clean the water. ]]> 2021-05-24 14:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553872900 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553881097 Why are droughts a thing if the water gets recycled a lot?
Also lots of towns in central and western Mass have water that is contaminated with PFASs but we don't see anything about it in Boston]]> 2021-05-24 14:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553881097 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553894931 It seems that the water in the US is more susceptible to toxins and such. ]]> 2021-05-24 14:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553894931 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553896818 According to statistics from the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System, those found to have problems cleaning their water often took more than two years to resolve these concerns, with some only recently correcting decades-old violations of EPA regulations and others still supplying tainted water.]]> 2021-05-24 14:35:10 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553896818 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553904861 I learned that plants are involved in the process of cleaning water because they provide microbes that kill bacteria. ]]> 2021-05-24 14:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553904861 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553906871 The water goes in a cycle and can be treated, but by the time it gets back to us...cant it become intoxicated all over again?]]> 2021-05-24 14:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553906871 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553907232 why are there so many steps to filter water or should there be more?]]> 2021-05-24 14:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553907232 grodriguez502 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553908162 does this mean we should no drink tap water even if it's only a cup?]]> 2021-05-24 14:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553908162 https://padlet.com/arice95/quu71620fesa7kvt/wish/1553908759 Is there a way that we can figure out a way to get new pipes into our water system so that our drinking water can be more safe and also purified and dont need to be touched by man?
