 Mature: Your Body: Water
If your water supplier doesn’t meet the EPA standard for nitrate or lead (they should let you know—contact them to double-check), and you have young children, talk to a pediatrician about alternative options for drinking water.
The EPA now has specific guidelines for the levels of contaminants that may be present in public drinking water.
You drink water every day; nearly all of your organs are made up of water—your body is approximately 70% water.

The reason martinis shouldn't be served "direct" is that, for all the talk about martinis being an excuse to drink neat gin, the truth is that some water (from the dilution of the ice) is desirable, specially if the gin is 40-47º (British) proof.
The reason she's not drinking at the moment is she's about to have a baby and wants it to have every advantage it can at the start of life, the better to enjoy those martinis on the patio later on...
"[the main role of vodka] is to replace gin in established gin drinks for the benefit of those rather second-rate persons who don't like the taste of gin, or indeed that of drink in general.

In the nearer term, the work of Sorcerer II will be used to "assess the true safety of off-shore drilling," as well as to monitor drinking water and to track ballast water from tanker ships that drain water from other parts of the world into harbors.
But before he had that thought, he and the crew had another: "We actually thought we were hallucinating, so we cut off drinking for the rest of the voyage," he said during his talk at the Bio-IT World Conference and Expo here.
Sorcerer II researchers collect milliliters of water from around the globe and filtering the water through increasingly smaller filters until bacteria and viruses are all that is left.

 USATODAY.com - China investing $3B to clean up Songhua River
In Hunan province, also in central China, cadmium leaked into a tributary of the Yangtze River during a routine cleaning of wastewater drain pipes, said an official at the province's environmental protection bureau who would not give her name because she was not authorized to talk to the media.
BEIJING (AP) — China will invest more than $3 billion over the next five years to clean up the Songhua River, a key source of drinking water for tens of millions of people that was polluted in November by a toxic spill that flowed into Russia, reports said Sunday.
She said the incident happened Jan. 6, but the amount of cadmium was only slightly above the government's acceptable level, and there were no plans to suspend water supplies to the hundreds of thousands of people who rely on the river for drinking water.

More than 21,000 desalination plants produce in excess of 3.5 billion gallons of drinking water a day.
Carlsbad switching to desalinated water as its primary water supply will translate to a 3.5 percent reduction in the demand on the regional water supply system and an overall improvement in regional water supply reliability.
Seawater desalination is a time-tested technology that has up until now not been economically viable.

The four countries that share the aquifer agreed to create an ''Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development of the Guarani Aquifer System Project'', to gain a detailed understanding of the aquifer and implement a common institutional and technical framework for the joint management and preservation of the transboundary water reserves.
An aquifer is a water-bearing stratum of permeable rock, sand or gravel.

He concluded that the brothers who ran the Public Utilities Commission contributed directly to the tragedy, first by failing to properly monitor the drinking water, then by trying to cover up the emerging catastrophe by actively misleading health officials, assuring them the water was safe.
The consequences of the tainted water tragedy in southern Ontario are still being assessed.
The Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and Policies says the problems in Walkerton have called attention to the broader issue of water quality in the region.

 GoodLife - July 2002
Those things are indeed important, but what's more important is that the salamander is an early warning indicator of the health of the aquifer which, according to the Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District, is the sole source of drinking water for an estimated 50,000 people.
"Any new development has to bring a letter of approval from the FWS before we will even talk to them about a water service agreement," she says.
The salamander's habitat is the water that gushes out of four hydrologically connected springs in Zilker Park, collectively known as Barton Springs, including the ancient swimming hole that some environmental groups call the Soul of the City.
