Book Description
Can we trust our tap water? What exactly is in it, and why? If you don't like it, what can you do about it? And are filters or bottled water any better? Given the legitimate fears around water supplies everywhere, this book is a timely exploration of the answers to such questions. In a down-to-earth way, using easy-to-understand diagrams and tables, this book describes where water comes from, how it is treated and managed, reducing water consumption in your home, and alternatives to tap water-including filtering it, and obtaining your own independent supply.
