    A health concern involving the quality of drinking water in our community has been brought to our attention. The Safe Drinking Water Act (42 USC § 300f), was passed by Congress in 1974 to protect public health by regulating the nation’s drinking water supply. In 1986 and 1996 the law was amended and required many actions to protect drinking water and the sources of drinking water such as rivers, lakes and ground water wells. The Safe Drinking Water Act authorizes the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to set national standards for drinking water to protect people against both natural and man-made contaminants that can be found in drinking water. Because of the Safe Drinking Water Act, America's drinking water is safer than ever before.…

    Bottled Water vs. Tap

    There are articles, flyers, and even books out in the market that try to persuade people to either use bottled water or tap water. While many believe that tap water is more beneficial to the body, others believe that the convenience and advertising of purified bottled water is acceptable enough for themselves. As we consume water, we concern ourselves with issues such as if it is harmful to the environment, if it is harmful to our health and whether the product is convenient for us. Ultimately, the choice is personal because both sides provide pros and cons to these issues.…

    (2) People buy it—often at a premium price—because they think it is cleaner and healthier than tap water. (3) However, 25 percent of bottled water does not come from natural springs or wells. (4) Instead, it comes from municipal tap water sources. (5) The standards used to package it for resale are the same ones used to regulate public water supplies. (6) In fact, there have been numerous accounts of bottled water being contaminated with pollutants and other chemicals. (7) People have even gotten sick from drinking bottled water they mistakenly thought was clean and pure. (8) In other words, bottled water is often no better than tap water—even though it’s much more…

    Background: According to the Millennium Development Goals Report 2012, 783 million people, or 11 per cent of the global population, remain without access to an improved source of drinking water. Also the United Nations has long been addressing the global crisis caused by insufficient water supply to satisfy basic human needs and growing demands on the world’s water resources to meet human, commercial and agricultural needs (un.org). In this experiment water quality and contamination of groundwater was investigated. First, I observed the effects that many pollutants have on groundwater. I predict that in this experiment the oil and vinegar will create the large amount of contamination in the water, while the laundry detergent will just create an aroma smell to it. Considering the smells and color to these ingredients I think that it will cause the water quality to have a bad smell and cause the water to be very cloudy. Once filtering the contaminated water, the water will be clear and purified. Second, I will experiment water treatment and filtering. I predict that once the contaminated water is treated and filtered that it will leave me with less contamination or none at all. Then for the last experiment, I will determine the difference between bottled water and tap water to discover any contamination. I predict that the tap water will be the most contaminated and with the most chemicals in it, while the bottled waters; Dasani and Fiji will be completely filtered and free of any chemicals.…

    Bottled Water

    Sally’s mother should not buy the bottled water at the Mega-Store. She had previously insisted on buying bottled water because she believed that it was more sanitary and clean than tap water. There are many facts that oppose this argument. One such piece of information reveals that although 60-70% of bottled water does not undergo regulation by the FDA, the safety measures in place for water under FDA jurisdiction are comparatively less rigid than measures in place for city groundwater. It is disturbing to know that these “regulated” waters are allowed a certain amount of coliform bacteria (bacteria that are indications of possible contamination by fecal matter). It is also unsettling to know that although handlers of city water must be trained and certified to provide a sanitary product, bottled water companies are not required to adhere to such regulations. These facts, along with a list of other worthy concerns, easily raise questions the supposed superiority of bottled water quality over that of tap water.…

    Experiments were done on the water quality and the contamination of groundwater. First, I observed the effects that different pollutants had on groundwater. I predicted that the experiments with the oil and vinegar would create the most contaminations to the water. When the laundry detergent were mixed with the groundwater, it created a light green color with a pleasant smell. The second water treatment experiment were about filtering techniques to remove contaminants from water. I predicted to drain the water by removing all the contaminants by using a funnel to purify the water. The last experiment were performed using Dasani, and Fiji bottled water and Tap water to determine the quality of drinking water. I also predicted that tap water would leave the least amount of contaminants and the Fiji bottled water would have the most contaminants.…

    The Bottle Water Crisis

    • 4 Pages

    In recent years, the bottled water market has significantly increased in sales and consumption. More than seventy-five percent of the American population purchases and consumes bottled water. In the United States the bottled water market has tripled in the last ten years, with the average person now consuming twenty-eight gallons of bottled water per year. Interestingly enough, nearly half of all bottled water sold in the United States is tap water, which companies put in plastic bottles and sell at huge profits. The worldwide market for bottled water is estimated to be worth more than one hundred billion dollars. (Goldschein) Given the opportunity of grossing enormous revenues, it is no wonder that our capitalistic society embraces a practice that is so senseless and damaging to the environment.…
