From the Author

As we became more involved in working with people and the illnesses they deal with, we began to see an underlying trend of not only poor nutrition in many people but a lack of the most vital ingredient to well being - clean water. Health is one of our most valuable assets, yet we take it for granted until we become ill. We hope that this book will give you some facts about water that can lead to a healthy improvement in your life. Good luck!

From the Inside Flap

The "hydrologic cycle" is an endless loop of water recycling itself: surface water evaporates forming clouds; the clouds produce rain, which percolates into the earth's surface to become groundwater or creates lakes and streams; the underground water and streams flow into the sea; this water again evaporates into the air. The same water is used and reused millions and millions of times. We must realize that we, too, are reusing water. It is important to understand that water from an underground source or a sparkling spring may have been used before and isn't necessarily as clean as it appears. It's time we stop taking our drinking water for granted. It's time to take responsibility for keeping our own water clean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down - Easy to understand!, November 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Drinking Water Quality - Taking Responsibility (Paperback)

If you never thought about water - think again! This easy to understand book is written with facts, charts, and illustrations that make learning about water informative and fun. Colors are brilliant and the high quality print makes this book a perfect gift - give it to someone who you care about. Turning on the tap can now be a choice, as municipal water systems are set to provide volume not health. After reading this book I decided it was my responsibility to protect my family. Filtered water, distilled water, cancer causing chemicals in YOUR water, scam water sales people and more - with all topics covered. It's a book, a reference and a work to share with your best friend. You'll give it five stars and double rainbow!!!
