10 Best Cities for Drinking Water in North America Hamilton, Ohio – This city has won the Berkeley Springs International Water Testing competition (locally nicknamed the “Academy Awards of Water”) three times recently, in 2009, 2010, and 2015. Hamilton’s only municipal water source is the Great Miami Valley Buried Aquifer. Clearbrook, Abbottsford, British Columbia – In the 2016 Berkeley Springs International Water Testing event Clearbrook won the award for Best Municipal Water in the world. The Clearbrook Waterworks District has won several awards in the last few years for their crisp water. Eldorado Springs, Colorado – This mountain town has won the Best Municipal Water in the US category at the Berkeley Springs International Water Testing event. Multiple reservoirs and creeks in the Rockies make the water naturally refreshing and clean. Louisville, Kentucky – Louisville is the only city in America to actually trademark their municipal tap water. The water comes from the Ohio River and is treated at one of the top water treatment plants in the country, where it is treated via sand and gravel filtration. Silverdale, Washington – The American Water Works Association has ranked the tap water in Silverdale as one of the top two in the country, and the city routinely performs well at the event in Berkeley Springs. The water comes from a central aquifer deep underground. Emporia, Kansas – This city that serves 25,000 residents with clean tap water is also a mainstay at the Berkeley Springs event, having placed in the top 3 numerous times. Local data show that filters installed in 1996 reduce the turbidity (or haziness) of the water far more than what’s required. New York City, New York – Certainly the largest city on this list, New York City has tap water any metropolis would be proud of. 95% of the water that travels to the city through aqueducts and tunnels reaches the city center through the natural pull of gravity, where it is filtered and treated. Toronto, Ontario – Another major city, Toronto has placed well in water testing competitionsincluding the Best of the Best Water Test hosted by the AWWA. The water source is very close: Lake Ontario. The water intake pipes up to 5-kilometres from shore. Independence, Missouri – Independence supplies 250,000 people with extremely clean water that exceeds (or at least meets) all federal regulations, as their water quality report The city has moved up to 3rd place in the Berkeley Springs International Water Testing competition. Denver, Colorado – The snowmelt water supply in the Rocky Mountains makes the water in several Colorado cities incredibly brisk and tasty. Denver’s water has more of a mineral taste than other cities, but the South Platte River and other sources make this water especially clean, according to their water quality report.
很多瓶装水是来自自来水,没错。但那是经过了十几道工序过滤之后的自来水,或者是RO的自来水,去掉所有化工污染,去掉重金属等等杂质。然后才灌到瓶子里的。
我为什么要吃农药菜?我只买organic不行吗?就像我能选择喝纯净水,为何要去喝成分不明的自来水。
其实全美国的自来水,我认为大部分都有问题,原因就是美国人喜欢大面积种草地,大多数人的草地会使用大量的农药和化肥。这些最终都会渗入地下水,而这个地下水很可能就是你家自来水公司取水的水源。
你这个回复问题很多。flint的事情涉及到贫穷,腐败,渎职各个方面,远非仅仅一个饮用水的问题。即便这样,全国人民都知道了,因为公共饮水是public safety的头等大事。你随便搜一下 bottled water recall,你就知道瓶装水有多少问题了,但是往往瓶装水都是悄悄下架,你不知道而已。 当然你说经过深度处理的瓶装水,那确实是要相对安全(当然,只是相对,譬如微塑料的问题就比较麻烦),但是这样的水很贵,一般人不会用来做日常饮水做饭用,当然版上很多收入过七十万的,那都没有讨论的必要,你要王母娘娘的琼浆玉露也能负担得起。 organic的菜就安全?你要拿质疑饮用水的态度来质疑你吃的东西,估计会被自己吓死。我们生活在地球上,空气里都是dust,有各种微生物甚至重金属的。 最后一段:农药化肥多数影响的是地表水。地下水尤其是深层的,基本不受影响。另外,大点的水厂大部分还是以地表水为主要水源的。哎呀,总之,有疑问是好事,但是对自己不太清楚的东西,做点研究之前不要这么自信。 还有,说话少用反问句,这样不好,不好...
可能你所在地区就是下一个Flint, 只不过没爆而已,u never know.
你这么相信美国自来水检测,却不相信美国organic食品的检测?
为什么美国人很多人选择喝瓶装水而不是直接自来水?
我最后一次回复:我相信organic食品的检测!你反问得毫无根据,理解能力也很成问题。 选择的人多不一定就是真理。就像李大师狼狈如此,照样徒子徒孙满世界一样。
也是专业的来说一下,自来水真的有问题。我们这里,全国前三收入的县,还不是老城区,自家自来水都测出来铅。现在就装个过滤,RO的是纯净水。其他的简易活性炭不能全吸至少也能少一些,不过过滤完了要马上用。要不还得冷藏。自来水还有消毒副产物的问题,浓度高致癌的。
我也基本不喝瓶装水。那个一是塑料瓶子不环保,二是不冷藏的时候塑料瓶子有析出。
自来水有铅超标可能 纯净水缺各种钙镁钠离子和氟..., 对身体健康可能造成隐患 瓶装桶装水有塑料微粒
你要是真的“专业”就不会期望自来水里面没有铅,因为EPA要求的就是15ppb。同样,瓶装水也含铅,因为FDA对水质的要求大部分照搬EPA 的。所有的水里都有铅,即使你测不出来也只是含量低于detection limit而已。想多了就不要生活在地球上了,太可怕了。
优胜美地瀑布枯半年,那半年喝什么?
