Answer 2

all countries by now have in parts unsafe drinking water ,

more and more rivers and lakes are polluted ,and even ground water is affected by contamination ,this is where most of the cities purified drinking water comes from

some deep carbon aquifer,that are pumped empty by agriculture and some cities have been flooded by sewage that is imposible to remove ,they can be several kilometers deep.and if pumped clean where would one pump to???

countries with mountains have good quality water high up in the streams and in the springs

,but even glaziers and mountains snows are contaminated by air polution whuch moves around in airlayers that are 5 kilometers high up and which move all around the globe ,

it is how seeds such as the Eucalyptus can find a home on the other side of the world ,and how the north and south pole can have contamination that comes from cities far away.

example :In Mexico the rains wash the topsoil impregnated with afgro chemicals from the deforested mountain slopes ,into the rivers ,where thousands of women do the washing with harmfull detergents,Farmers dump tons of acidic coffee husks into the river ,where this kills millions of fish and shrimp.The army washes containers of weedkiller that they use to destroy marijuana fields in the rivers which adds to the contamination levels as do the many thousands of sewer outlets which all are directed into the water flowsthat end in the rivers,And it has become a habit for the people to dumb all their garbage on the river edges because they say the rains will flood the river and wash it away ,(although every year the river flooding is less high)

this water is purified for drinking water for the masses who buy it because it is the cheapest(10 pesos for 20 liter)a liter bottle of spring water already costs 10 pesos)
many people bathe in the rivers and the local hospital reports many complaints of the eyes ,skin and stomach and 9 types of pareasites have been found amongst the children all related to the water.

this kind of thing and far worse is happening all over the world
develloped countries are now moving in to the same direction
