Is the Colorado river drinking water?
That water is not potable, and should not be drank without first being treated. You don't drink untreated water out of rivers, period. The only time you do that is from a spring, and even that can be iffy.

When sea water is boiled only the water turns to steam, the salt is left behind. Then when the steam condenses back into liquid you get clean, distilled water that is safe, if a bit bland to drink.

Where does Australia get its drinking water from?
Western Australia is a vast state that has a variety of water supply sources, both ground and surface. The Web Link below may be of some assistance in locating some of these. Click on the "Water Regions" tab for details.
One of Australia's largest rivers, the Fitzroy, is in northwest Western Australia, supplying the Kimberley region. This is also where Australia's largest man made inland lake is found, Lake Argyle, on the Ord River. Considerable significant groundwater resources provide water to the main mining operations in the area, as well as supplying pastoral and irrigation requirements, town water supplies and industry.
The main populated areas around the state's capital, Perth, are supplied by the Avon River Basin. This area also includes the Gnangara and Gingin groundwater regions.
Most other areas have similar arrangements, with a combination of groundwater, rivers and man-made dams. However, one major difference is the Golden Pipeline, or Goldfields Water Supply Scheme. This incredible feat of engineering, pioneered in the late 1800s, brings water from the Mundaring Weir near Perth to the eastern goldfields of Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie.
Is it safe to drink the water in Peru?
Only if you want to have a horrible time. Even my ex, who was Peruvian but had lived in the U.S. 10 years, did not drink the water when we were there. Bottled ONLY. No ice (made with tap water).
Where does New York City get its tap water?
New York City's water supply comes from upstate. Since New York City is at sea level, and the Catskill Mountains are upstate, the city doesn't have to do very much to get the water here: it basically just flows downhill from upstate springs, straight to the city. This is why New York City tap water is among the best tap water of any city in the world.
What are the water problems in the middle east?
There are serious problems and challenges facing the Arab world today. They require immediate attention:
1. Global weather change and its impact on the Middle East and North African regions, such as the decreasing rainfall and the problem of desertification.
2. Insufficient food production in all Arab states. They all rely on food import to meet their basic needs.
3. Shortage of fresh water which caused the Middle East to be among the driest regions in the world. More than 2/3 of Arab countries are classified as water poverty stricken.
How do they store water in space?
Astronauts bring water into space by bottles and canteens. They strap these containers to the walls with Velcro so it won't float away. To see how much water they carry, see the related question below.
Does drinking hard water cause gout?
Water intake can reduce the uric acid concentration in the blood by transporting it out of the body via the kidney and other organs as well as making the blood more capable of holding more acid before it crystallizes.

Why does the water stored in mud pot remain cool?
Clay itself is a mixture of water and mud i.e., what we mould to make a pot. After that the wet clay pot is heated so that all the moisture in the wet clay is taken out completely. But who is going to fill the place of the moisture?? Nothing. So that whole material is purely porous with a very fine holes all over. Now when u pour water of any temperature more than the room temperature into the pot.. The water first spreads itself on to the walls of the pot. Due to the internal pressure of water, the water is forced to contact to the pot inner walls.(Don't get confused. This happens with any fluid or material, generally for solids its called as angle of repose, but for fluids, the angle of repose is 180 deg, i.e., horizontal force in all directions). So the water molecules starts filling the air gaps of the pot. In this condition, due to the very fine holes, the water molecules loose their contact and forms in to separate groups of water particles. Since the water volume is very less, it tends to go away from the pothole, and for that is has to be converted in to vapor state. But the temperature of the water is not enough to change its state from liquid to gaseous. So remember that the water is still in contact with the pot, so the heat is taken from the pot shell, thus reaches its latent heat and changes it state from liquid to gaseous. This is why the pot first cools rather to the water inside. In addition, this is a pure Heat and Mass Transfer subject. This is how the pot shell takes out the heat of the water and the imprisoned water molecules in the pot shell take that heat out and becomes vapor. If you can observe a pot with water for a while, check for the following points., 1) The Whole Pot Gets Wet in outside till the level of water. 2) If you can feel the water getting cooled after an observation of 30 mins., then check for the water level in the pot. (It surely goes down and where does that water go ??) 3) Check the Pot Shell inner face temperature and water temperature, and find out which is lesser.
:in an easier way..we can say that the mud pot or clay pot is a poor conductor
How is mineral water collected and produced?
Earth's Water Cycle (hydrologic cycle):
It rains.
Some rainwater is stored for a time in glaciers; Some gets absorbed by the land, replenishing the water table (wells, springs and ponds) and deeper, archaic water. Some is collected by humans and subjected to various uses and released. The rest runs to the ocean by streams and rivers. Most, ultimately finds its way to the oceans, where it is stored.
The sun (heat) evaporates water, mostly from the oceans, but from snow, glaciers, streams, lakes, and ponds too. Lawns, trees, other plants, and animals also contribute their respiratory moisture.
The warm, vaporized water is convected higher, to cooler temperatures, where it condenses into clouds. When the drops are big enough they fall (rain), starting the cycle again.

There are no nutrients in water because it's a natural resource.
Where do you get drinking water in the desert?
You can try this : Dig about 1-2 feet in sand. Now cut upper half section of any plastic bottle and put lower part in the dug hole. Now cover this by a polythene sheet and put sand on outer boundary to make the sheet steady. Now the water content of air would start depositing on the inner part of polythene. Also make middle of the polythene slightly downward to bottle so that the water droplets would directly fall inside the bottle. this trick I saw on a programme of Discovery channel.
Does justin bieber love drinking water?

What are the sources of the drinking water in Argentina?
I don't get the question because technically all of the ocean would surround it.
Where does Poland get drinking water?
Someone can be more specific, but I worked at Poland Spring Hotel, which is located in Poland Springs, Maine, just outside of Lewiston, back in the 60s, and there was a spring there on the grounds of the hotel, from which the first bottled water was drawn and sold. Later, the water came from a nearby lake, and now I believe it is drawn from several different sources, all lakes in the nearby region.
Answer
Yes, years ago that is where the water came from. Poland Springs was sued in a class action lawsuit and lost the case because for one thing they said the source was protected.
Currently the water comes from many source, that is why the taste is no longer consistent from case to case. You need to read the individual bottle.
The bottled water industry in general is under pressure since the water is suppose to be more healthy than tap water but it actually does not have to be the case. In addition there is a safety concern about the plastic in the bottles leaching into the water.
