Crum Creek at Kirkwood Preserve, PA

I forgot my thermometer, probably about 17 or 18C (63-64F), 11 am, a sunny mid-August. The water was cool and refreshing 😊

Fishing is prohibited, keeping fish happy - we took a nice walk😉

Not much public access to this creek along its course especially above the Springton Lake. This creek is a major source of drinking water, so people should stay away from this creek🤔

Glasgow public water fountains in 1896 and 2023.

While I applaud Scottish Water for providing these new water points, it seems a major missed opportunity to create something that's not only function, but that's also beautiful and adds to the local environment where it's placed rather than just being plonked on to the streets with little thought or planning.

Over 99.7% of public water supplies comply with bacterial and chemical limits, meaning that our public water is safe to drink.

However, 481,000 people across Ireland are currently served by ‘at-risk’ water supplies: bit.ly/44OczUp

We live in a and making shit last less and be less is more harmful than the than if we'd remove all around the globe.

And no, a national on Germany's highway won't solve Climate Crisis compared to allowing people to whereever technically possible and refuse to make / a must-provide utility like , a line and !

When healthy vegetables and greens are tainted by greenmatters.com/health-and-we - this is far from an isolated issue. Soil, water and air are all polluted. Everything including ourselves, polluted despite efforts to always eat or , recycle, lower carbon footprint. This is not a reason to abandon good choices - but rather be aware of how plastics are systematically killing us all. npr.org/2022/06/15/1105222327/

👎 for the population. for the large industries.

“More than 80% of water goes to industry, like soya and wood pulping. Yes, we have had a shortage of rain, but the drought has simply shown the problems with our economic model. We can’t concentrate resources in a few hands,” said Sosa. “Water for human consumption has to come before profit.”

Sometimes, oftentimes, we so-called "alarmists" are spot on - "Drought leaves millions in without tap water fit for drinking - After years of underinvestment, reservoir has had to be topped up from estuary, raising health concerns - More than half of Uruguay’s 3.5 million citizens are without access to tap fit for drinking, and experts say the situation could continue for months.

Some had predicted the crisis years ago when pointing out the vulnerability of the single reservoir supplying water to the metropolitan area around the capital, .

By Latin American standards, Uruguay is a high-income country and it has historically thought of itself as having abundant water resources. Those who warned of diminishing supplies were considered catastrophists and investment was postponed.

Three consecutive years of have almost emptied the reservoir of fresh water, and to avoid shortages the state-run water supplier, OSE, has since the beginning of the year been gradually adding brackish water from the Rio de la Plata estuary.

By early May the mix had reached the maximum levels of sodium and chlorides recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and now it has double those levels, giving the water a repulsive taste and raising questions about potential effects on health.

Authorities maintain that the chemicals only affect the taste and smell of the water and do not necessarily pose a risk to most people’s health.

Some vulnerable groups such as babies, pregnant women and people with health conditions have been warned against drinking the water but there have been conflicting claims about its safety for the broader population."
