  1. @C_Ottenburg. Alleine der Blödsinn Wasser in Flaschen zu kaufen. Da musste ich gerade an den Sketch aus den 70ern denken. Ein Pub, in dem statt Alkohol #Wasser aus aller Welt ausgeschenkt wird. Je exotischer und weiter entfernt die Herkunft des Wassers, desto absurder und komischer die Reaktion. In den 70ern war das natürlich völlig lächerlich – heute ist es bittere Realität! Leider. Ich trinke aus dem #wasserhahn (1L ein Bruchteil von 1,- €)

  3. Water water everywhere?

    Sooo, I’ve been exploring online starting with a search onward from a sun tea recipe /method. But, reminds me that I know not a single person in the Phoenix area who likes the tap water. I bet there are not that many million plus populations in one area so united in opinion.

    Thus, getting enough water daily requires some thought. First off, this is not the thread for anyone to comment that we quit using bottled water. I am fine with the filtered water from our fridge. Britta filtered water is/was “okay but not great”. For bottled water I prefer the cheap kind but is reverse osmosis. I read in an article Icelandic bottled water is good. But not 5/5 good, only 3/5 good in this article. (Which is funny!)

    What do you prefer IF YOU HAVE TO BUY BOTTLED WATER? Just consider I bet most families are not conscientiously filling water bottles with filtered water. We do, but only one bottle per outing and it’s over 100° here most of the time now and for the next 4 months. So at times we need to grab bottled water to survive the next hour drive. #Water #BottledWater #FilteredWater

  5. 🚰 Ah, the pinnacle of human innovation: blending supermarket bottled waters to mimic "famous water profiles" for your pretentious #coffee, beer, or aquarium needs. 🤦‍♂️ Because who needs authenticity when you've got two plastic bottles and a mixing ratio? 🧪 This guide is for those who think a bottle of Evian could transform you into a world-class barista or brewer.

  7. Just your periodic reminder that #bottledwater (thousands of times more expensive than tap #water) can have water quality problems. And this may just be the tip of the iceberg: FDA conducts almost no inspections of BW plants.

  13. Hey, my book on the #bottledwater industry is available from Island Press -- still current and still a challenge, especially given the growing concerns about #plastics and privatization of #water.

  16. The past few days we have stayed at two different hotels in the state of Arizona. Neither one of them provide bottled drinking water at all. Is there a state wide policy that no bottled water is provided at any hotel in Arizona?

  19. Debunking Risks of Coliforms in Bottled Water

    Today I received an e-mail from an industry partner from around two decades ago, kindly alerting me to this paper: 'Fluorescence characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in bottled drinking water of different countries: A potential risk to public health'. It was just published in Water Environment Research by researchers from Jahangirnagar University, Dhaka, Bangladesh and Southern Cross University, Australia.....

  20. #WaterShortage fears as Labour’s first #AIGrowth zone sited close to new #reservoir

    First #datacentre site proposed seven miles from #AbingdonReservoir planned for water-stressed #SouthEastEngland

    by Helena Horton Environment reporter
    Mon 13 Jan 2025

    "Labour’s first artificial intelligence growth zone will be sited close to the UK’s first new reservoir in 30 years, sparking fears that the AI push will add to the 'severe pressure' on water supplies in the area.

    "Keir Starmer announced on Monday that he would hugely increase artificial intelligence capacity and reduce planning restrictions on companies that wanted to build datacentres by setting up '#GrowthZones' with fewer constraints [like #ExportProcessingZones and #FreeTradeZones].

    "The first of these will be in #CulhamOxfordshire, only seven miles from a reservoir planned by #ThamesWater in Abingdon, which was supposed to provide water to people in the severely water-stressed south-east of England. This is the area of the country most at risk of running out of water, according to the Environment Agency. #Oxfordshire has faced particular issues, with areas reliant on #BottledWater during #heatwaves.

    "AI datacentres use a large amount of water, as their servers generate heat. To prevent computer systems overheating and shutting down, the centres use cooling towers and outside air systems, both of which need clean, fresh water. AI consumes between 1.8 and 12 litres of water for each kilowatt hour of energy usage across Microsoft’s global datacentres. One study estimates that global AI could account for up to 6.6bn cubic metres of water use by 2027 – the equivalent of nearly two-thirds of England’s annual consumption.

    "Even without a big increase in AI datacentres, by 2050, England faces a shortfall of nearly 5bn litres of water a day between the sustainable supplies available and the expected demand. This is more than a third of the 14bn litres of water currently put into public supply. The south-east faces a potential deficit of more than 2.5bn litres a day in the same period.

    "AI could wipe out gains made by businesses in reducing their water consumption; the government is seeking a 9% reduction in non-household (business) consumption by 2037-38 from 2019-20 levels, and currently businesses are on course to achieve a reduction of 6.1%.

    Adrian Ramsay MP, Green Party co-leader, said: 'While communities will face #heatwaves, #droughts and water shortages over the coming decades, this strategy locks us into pumping huge amounts of water into AI datacentres. One estimate said AI-related infrastructure may soon consume six times more water than Denmark, a country of 6 million people. What will this mean for residents in water-stressed communities like Culham in Oxfordshire?'"
