Bedford, England, is considered a hard water area. This is primarily due to the region's geological features, which include limestone and chalk, that contribute to higher levels of calcium and magnesium in the water supply. As a result, residents may notice limescale buildup in appliances and Plumbing.
Manchester is in an area with a water hardness rating of Slightly hard to moderately hard (100-200mg/l as Calcium Carbonate equivalent).
It depends on what area you live in whether your water is hard or soft, hope that helps :)
It is now a softish water area. The once very soft water flowing all the way from Elan Valley, Wales was hardened slightly to prevent lead being absorbed from the many houses that still have lead water mains. Lead in drinking water causes brain damage in children.
the England it is likely to be found in SSouthampton, Brighton, Lincoin and Bury
Those are hard water stains. You need to wipe your sink dry after use, if you have hard water.
It all depends on how fast you are going when you hit it.=============================================Water hardness varies from area to area. Hard water is water that has high mineral content (in contrast with soft water). Hard water minerals primarily consist of calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) metal cations, and sometimes other dissolved compounds such as bicarbonates and sulfates.Because it is the precise mixture of minerals dissolved in the water, together with the water's pH and temperature, that determines the behaviour of the hardness, a single-number scale does not adequately describe hardness. Descriptions of hardness correspond roughly with ranges of mineral concentrations:Very soft: 0-70 ppm, 0-4 dGH (degrees of General Hardness)Soft: 70-140 ppm, 4-8 dGHSlightly hard: 140-210 ppm, 8-12 dGHModerately hard: 210-320 ppm, 12-18 dGHHard: 320-530 ppm, 18-30 dGHVery hard >530 ppm, >30 dGHAccording to the British Drinking Water Inspectorate shows that drinking water in England is generally considered to be 'very hard', with most areas of England, particularly east of a line between the Severn and Tees estuaries, exhibiting above 200 ppm for the calcium carbonate equivalent. Wales, Devon, Cornwall and parts of North-West England are softer water areas, and range from 0 to 200 ppm.More than 85% of American homes have hard water. The softest waters occur in parts of the New England, South Atlantic-Gulf, Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii regions. Moderately hard waters are common in many of the rivers of the Tennessee Great Lakes, Pacific Northwest and Alaska regions. Hard and very hard waters are found in some of the streams in most of the regions throughout the country. Hardest waters (greater than 1,000 ppm) are in streams in Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, Arizona, and southern California.Source: DWI, Wikipedia,See link below for more information
To determine the level of hard water grains per gallon in your water supply, you can use a water testing kit or contact your local water utility for information on water hardness levels in your area. Hard water is typically measured in grains per gallon (GPG) or parts per million (ppm).
rain water soft whilst falling,when it hits the ground or into rivers it mixes minerals etc which in in turn turn it hard some area like devon it stay soft
If given enough time, the river will erode the area, but before that it will either run over the area if there is enough water, or will form a lake when it doesn't have enough water to continue.

Ask the municipal water firm. Most answerers don't know where 'wakefield' is situated, there are at least 5 places on Google maps: in U.K., USA (3x: Massachusets, Michigan, Virginia) and in New Zealand.This is a 'world wide wiki'-answer site.
Hard Hat Area was created in 1993.
