Myths-
We have less water today than we did 100 years ago.
No, it's the exact same amount of water, it's just been recycled lots of times. The water we take baths in could be the water a dinosaur took a bath in, a million years ago.
Once you use water, it’s gone.
No, the water is easily treatable and no matter how many times we drink it, it will be the same water we drink in the next week or month. It's recycled and then put back into our water filters and water tanks and everything else.
There are more pollutants in drinking water today than before.
No, it's just the way science see's it. There wasn't much technology ten years ago but now that there is it looks like there's more pollutants in the water because we can see more.
