World Water Day
By the Care2 Staff.
The international observance of World Water Day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro. This year, World Water Day falls on March 22—a day of observance and action to draw attention to the plight of those without access to safe drinking water.
We also need to protect water for future generations. We have the same amount of water on Earth now that there was at the time of the planet’s creation. The water consumed today will eventually be recycled throughout the Earth’s ecosystem for use by future generations. The water we’re drinking now has been on Earth for millions of years! If you can imagine that your great-grandchildren will drink the same glass of water that you drink, you will be inspired to take better care of it.
WATER AS A RESOURCE
Twenty percent of the world’s population lacks access to adequate and safe drinking water, and as our population increases so will the number of people without easily attainable water. Find out about the problems that plague our water situation, and the noble work being done to combat this growing crisis. Precious Water

Filters
The best type of water filter you use depends on whether you are on well or municipal water. Filters for well water need to remove bacteria. Filters for municipal water need to remove the chemical disinfectants and additives from the city’s water plant.

Water, water, everywhere.. yet none safe to drink...... The healthiest water is that which is closest to your body's natural water environment. About 4 years ago, my wife and I made a decision to create a Certified Wellness Home. ...We actually started by looking at our water. We ultimately chose to integrate a water system that created alkaline living water with oxygenation & trace minerals. The changes we made have had a measurable improvement in our family's health. Your health simply WILL improve when you begin drinking Alkaline, Energized water, period. Your body temperature, blood pressure, and ability to ward off disease is dependant on your body's level of hydration.
Here's what we've found.... The Japanese discovered Pi-water over 40 years ago. They originally discovered It is available today thru a system called a Pi Mag water system.
Its the most economical we've ever researched.
Not $2,000 or more like some sytems out there. That's Ridiculous ! Feel free to contact our office for more information on how you can be drinking PiMag Water today... for less than 15 cents per gallon.

Check out this link. http://www.aquarain.com/
This company uses small computerized kilns to make precise hard ceramic elements. More accurately made than British Berkefeld/Doulton. The gravity container system is welded stainless steel.I have mine many years.
Cost less than $.02 per gallon.
This is an excerpt from their web site:
"High-Tech Ceramic Filter Elements
At the heart of our natural process micro-filter are patented high-tech ceramic filter elements specifically designed for the AquaRain® system. Our state-of-the-art ceramic elements filter water in a very natural way, using gravity to gently draw water down through our "cultured" ceramic stone in much the same manner as nature processes ground water through the earth. The microfine pore structure of our ceramic media will remove dangerous organisms such as protozoan cysts (Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia) and microscopic bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella typhimurium, etc...). Enclosed within the hard ceramic shell we have incorporated a concentrated bed of Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) that contains a self-sterilizing metallic silver. The silvered GAC bed will absorb various organic chemicals such as MTBE and pesticides, remove chlorine compounds including carcinogenic halogens, and improve the taste and odor of the water. To the benefit of good health, our system will also leave unchanged the naturally occurring electrolytes and minerals in your filtered water."

I live on a "dry" island in the Caribbean, everyone has a water cistern and rain water that falls is collected from the roof to the cistern. I don't understand why more people in other places don't build/use cisterns. An electic pump pumps it through the plumbing system. It only needs boiling to be drinkable.
