The human body is dependent on drinking water to survive and function optimally; therefore your health & the health of your drinking water are inextricably intertwined.

We need to drink water regularly in order to stay well-hydrated because every single cell in the human body contains water and needs water in order to function. Drinking water is important, but drinking water that is polluted could do more harm than good, so it is important to ensure that the water that we drink is pure and free of pollution and toxins.

Your Health & the Health of Your Drinking Water

Water in nature flows through and links many communities who utilise this vital resource for many reasons. The quality of the water in rivers and streams that flow through an area is often a good indication of the lifestyle, socio-economic conditions and the overall environmental awareness of those who use it.

The lifestyle and activity of humans end up in the rivers around them through runoff. These same streams, rivers and other bodies of water are often the very same that are used to provide drinking water, after treatment, for those communities.

Healthy rivers, streams and wetlands support a variety of water life. Cascading mountain streams and rivers have high oxygen levels which come from the atmosphere through rainwater, photosynthesis and the tumbling water in fast-flowing streams. With this oxygen come nutrients which provide nitrates and other growth chemicals as well as rotting plants that provide other food sources. The plants in the water provide life-supporting oxygen and various other food sources for water organisms via photosynthesis.

Unfortunately human activities, including deforestation, industry, energy use, mining, the damming of rivers, the destruction of wetlands, urbanisation, agriculture, and accidental water pollution, produce sewage effluent, fertilisers, and other toxic pollutants that get into the freshwater sources via runoff and other means. This water then becomes toxic to humans through the pollution which could make them very ill or even result in death.

We humans need to drink fresh water often in order to remain hydrated and functioning at our peak, but drinking polluted water is dangerous for us. Our drinking water needs to be free of toxins, pollutants and disease-causing organisms. Polluted water is also dangerous for animals and plant-life.

In order to continue to function optimally, it is important to ensure that your health & the health of your drinking water remain viable.
