Sources, Risks, Purification, Safety
According to the US Department of Environmental Protection:
"there is not a body of water in the USA which is not contaminated"
Water contamination comes in basically two flavors; Biological and Chemical.
Not all chemical contamination is caused by industry. In the Gulf of Mexico for example, crude oil leaks into the gulf everyday, not from commercial oil wells but from naturally occuring fissures in the sea floor. The largest amount of fecal matter and biowaste in the "fresh water" system is a result of animals. Animals frequent the waterways for water and hunting prey. The animals go in the water and the fecal and other biomatter washes off of their bodies into the water as well as their deficating in the areas close to the body of water. As a result microorganisms like Giardia and Cryptosporidium are in pretty much every body of water in the USA and likely the world.
That is why purification and filtration of water has become so important.
