World Water Monitoring Day 2019

We recently had a notice in the news regarding water quality and the fact that the local supply had acquired a peculiar odor.

The situation was attributed to a natural event called "turnover" and is secondary to the heavy rains of late which has caused increased organic matter to be contained in those water sources we utilize.

Luckily, I distill my drinking water and I suppose the odor is masked by the chlorine used in the local supply.

Today is World Water Monitoring Day. It was established in 2003 by America's Clean Water Foundation as a so-called "global" outreach program ... and has subsequently been named "World Water Monitoring Challenge".

They promote the use of test kits on the local water supplies to mark the anniversary of the US Clean Water Act.

While I won't be participating, I view the entire notion of increased funk in the water, innocuous or not to be grossly unacceptable.

I would wish to opt for better filtration and distillation in the process to ensure as pure a product as can be available.

I'm sure the powers that be could give a rip about what I think.
