Contaminated Drinking Water May Increase Swine Flu Risk
Contaminated drinking water may inhibit the immune system's ability to withstand swine flu, according to new research.
Study: Low levels of arsenic in drinking water may make you more susceptible to serious illness from the new A (H1N1) virus.

1 In 10 Bottled Waters You Drink has a dose of Arsenic and other Carcinogens!
In a four-year scientific study, The NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) tested more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands, a third of them were found to contain contaminants such as arsenic and carcinogens (Cancer-causing toxins).

Goldman Sachs: Water - the petroleum of the future
Drought 'to be biggest world risk'
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
Excerpts from:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2008/06/05/ccwater105.xml
A catastrophic water shortage could prove an even bigger threat to mankind this century than soaring food prices and the relentless exhaustion of energy reserves, according to a panel of global experts at the Goldman Sachs "Top Five Risks" conference.
Nicholas (Lord) Stern, author of the Government's Stern Review on the economics of climate change, warned that underground aquifers could run dry at the same time as melting glaciers play havoc with fresh supplies of usable water.
"The glaciers on the Himalayas are retreating, and they are the sponge that holds the water back in the rainy season. We're facing the risk of extreme run-off, with water running straight into the Bay of Bengal and taking a lot of topsoil with it," he said.
"A few hundred square miles of the Himalayas are the source for all the major rivers of Asia - the Ganges, the Yellow River, the Yangtze - where 3bn people live. That's almost half the world's population," he said.
Lord Stern, the World Bank's former chief economist, said governments had been slow to accept that usable water is running out. "Water is not a renewable resource. People have been mining it without restraint because it has not been priced properly," he said.
Farming makes up 70pc of global water demand. Fresh water for irrigation is never returned to underground basins. Most is lost through leaks and evaporation.
A Goldman Sachs report said water was the "petroleum for the next century", offering huge rewards for investors who know how to play the infrastructure boom. The US alone needs up to $1,000bn (£500bn) in new piping and waste water plants by 2020.
"Demand for water continues to escalate at unsustainable rates. At the risk of being alarmist, we see parallels with Malthusian economics. Globally, water consumption is doubling every 20 years. By 2025, it is estimated that about one third of the global population will not have access to adequate drinking water," it said.

Toilet to Tap Project Once Again Considered for L.A.
L.A. considers sewage as source for water supply.
No matter what the projects are called, or how pure
they claim the water is, the source is still the same.
Other California cities are facing the same kinds of challenges as L.A.
Orange County and other Southern California agencies are already recycling treated sewage water back into the drinking supply.

EPA may not take action to limit rocket fuel in water
Tue May 6, 2008
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — An EPA official says there's a "distinct possibility" the agency won't take action to limit a toxic rocket fuel ingredient that has contaminated drinking water supplies around the country.
Benjamin Grumbles, assistant administrator for water at the Environmental Protection Agency, told senators Tuesday that EPA believes the contaminant — perchlorate — poses developmental health risks. But he says that after years of study EPA has not determined whether regulating perchlorate would meaningfully reduce that risk.
Senators accused EPA of foot-dragging. The agency has faced pressure from the Pentagon, which could be liable for clean-up costs.
Perchlorate has been found in at least 35 states and is widespread in the Southwest.
