How do the inhabitants of India obtain drinking water?
Tap water is completely safe for the human body to consume in most areas of the U.S., Canada, and other "first world" countries; if not beneficial over bottled water, it is certainly more "pure" than most of the toxic foods you will consume today. Most people do not know that cooked food and processed food are actually completely toxic to the body, and provide little more than fat and carbohydrates; even if it should contain vitamins. People can buy filters, such as Brita or Zero, in order to further purify the water, if it has visible solids in it, or if it contains heavy metals, chemicals, odorous particles, et cetera. Filters will filter out all harmful substances, even though they do not always work on things that adhere to water molecules, such as food dye. However, most of these substances are completely harmless, or are present in bottled water in greater quantities. Bottled water also contains high levels of Bisphenol A (BPA), because there are no known companies that do not use the attractive hard, clear plastic packaging. The most environmentally unfriendly brand is Fiji water, so avoid it at all costs. The company ships its water back and forth to and from China, because China makes the bottles and labels; the amount of fuel needed to carry the water is ponderously huge. Also, the company does not use ultra-pure water anymore; it lives on its fame for that. Another bad company is EVA, because it is imported water. Are humans so Godly that we need to consume imported water? It is no different than local water, and due to the water cycle, may have been in your area in the recent past.
How much of the earths water is drinking water?
Less than 1%

How much water can you drink before you die?
I doubt that you could drink enough milk to do you any permanent damage, let alone kill you, unless somebody forced it down you and you got strangled and essentially drowned. If you were in a contest and were inspired to drink more than your stomach could hold, you would just vomit it up. Milk is not like vodkawhich can kill you if you chug it down.

Can drinking water come from the ocean?
i know two ways to drink ocean water:
1st way: you can put it under the sun, and when it evaporates, you capture it. you won't get the salt because salt doesn't evaporate.
2nd way: you first get a cup and a filter. u can dump the water and salt together into the filter with the cup underneath. since there are holes in the filter, the water will seek through but the salt will stay behind because the holes are like microscopic. once all the water gets through, you will be left with only fresh unsalted water in the cup.(well, only if something happens or you do it wrong)heehee. but I'm sure that won't happen.
Can people drink distilled water?
Distilled water has already been boiled so you do not have to do it again. Distilled water has all impurities already removed.
Can humans drink a lot of seawater?
Believe it or not - if you drink only seawater, you will DEHYDRATE. The reason is that the seawater is saltier than your blood so the osmotic pressure pushes the water out of your blood into your digestive tract and kidneys to try to dilute the salt water down to the same saltiness as your blood in order to establish equilibrium.
That's the reason for the famous lines from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner:
Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
It depends on whether or not you are taking any medications. If you are taking any prescription medications, you should refrain from drinking. Alcohol often diminishes or alters the effects of the prescription. You can always check with your doctor on if you can with your medications.
Will drinking pond water make you sick?
to much of anything can make you sick
Answer:
8 glasses a day (or more) is safe, just don't drink them all at the same time. More than one liter (quart) per hour over several hours, can be dangerous, since it dilutes essential minerals in the bloodstream (electrolytes). But if you spread it around over the course of the day (like 1-2 cups per hour), it won't hurt you.
What are the negative effects of drinking soft drinks?

Is drinking flavored water as good as water?
Sure. Flavored water basically has no calories but serves as entertainment for your mouth. If it does have calories (look at the label) then it can contribute to your overall caloric intake. But even if it does have calories, the caloric content is usully low and won't be a major calorie-contributor to your diet.

It depends on the temperature of the water. Warm or hot water will be absorbed faster than cool or cold water.
Why do so many people say that drinking water helps you lose weight?
If you drink a glass of water before eating, it will help you feel full. Other than that, 8 glasses a day is plenty.
Drinking more water can help you lose weight, but I wouldn't suggest going on a "water fast" or anything of that sort. Too much water can lead to death.
Could the distillation process be used to convert muddy water and potable water.Explain how and why?
Yes. Heat will evaporate the water but not the mud particles (sand, dirt etc.).
If you collect the condensed water vapour you get very clean water. A good (and cheap) way to do it is by building a solar still. Solar stills only use the heat from the sun. The vapour will condense on the surface of a piece of plastic (or a piece of glass) so the drops of condensed water can be collected. I've built several of these and they work like a charm.
Where does drinking water come from in Malta?
It comes from the same sources as other countries. Initially from rain and then through lakes, reservoirs, wells, springs etc. Ireland has a very high quality of water which you can drink straight from the tap, unlike a lot of countries.
How do I deal with an allergic reaction to drinking water?
Dehydration allergy link
Hydration is key to allergy relief
Following is a discussion on the dehydration allergy link, allergy prevention & allergy relief, naturally, with water.
Dr. Batmanghelidj is especially forceful when it comes to asserting the link between dehydration & allergy.
The reasoning, backed up by research, is quite convincing.
Dehydration, even mild, activates histamine production, which is strongly implicated in allergy.
Histamine is a vital substance because it helps conserve & distribute water on a priority basis. Where it is most immediately needed, histamine tries to assure it gets there.
Healthy, adequate hydration decreases the need & production of histamine.
In dehydrated individuals, the overproduction of histamine suppresses the immune system, especially at it's core, the bone marrow. The compromised immune system is less able to deal with foreign invaders such as pollen - a major culprit in allergy.
As these invaders attack the eyes during pollen season, the eyes have only one way to get rid of them: to wash them away with tears. That is why allergy produces the characteristic tearing.
Since the only way to deal with these invaders is via tearing, the defense may even over-respond to make sure that the invaders are washed away.
And so, what we see as normal steps in allergy response is really a complex response to mild dehydration. It works but at great cost. Allergy preventionPrevention of allergy, always wiser than allergy relief, may be as simple as assuring healthy hydration.
Does that mean that drinking more water will prevent or treat allergy. Dr. Batmanghelidj unequivocally answers "yes" but I believe that the real key is that the body be adequately hydrated.
It is not always certain that simply drinking more water will immediately lead to healthy hydration for all persons.
For some, it may take more time. For others, it may be difficult to fully hydrate the cells because of other underlying problems.
The situation may be more complicated than simply drinking more water.
Is It Safe To drink What if your Own semen?
Yes it is safe. I do not advise doing that though.
It is safe and you can do so if you wish. You cannot give yourself any infection from taking your own semen. Many males masturbate and swallow their own semen.
Recent studies have found that consuming human semen reduces depression. You can find an article about that in the related links below.
Can you use UPVC pipes for drinking water?
No. Plastic pipes (and other products) intended for use in potable water systems are required to pass extraction testing carried out by NSF International. (Previously National Sanitation Foundation) Products passing this testing are marked with a NSF-pw label and are suitable for potable water. You may also see a similar mark on food and restaurant equipment.
