This should be more widely known
Years and years ago Munich realised that paying farmers to transition to organic agriculture was much, much cheaper than building filtration plants to remove agrochemicals from the water supply
Why don’t we all do it?

Brown and foul tasting. This town's water may be the tipping point of a crisis
By Nicole HegartyIn Australia's most decentralised state, water infrastructure is failing, leading residents in one town to rely on the bottled variety, but it comes at a cost.

Who needs #BioLabs when there's all sorts of #bacteria about to be exposed after thousands of years!
Researchers issue warning after making grim #Antarctic discovery: 'We are only beginning to understand'
Story by Daysia Tolentino, January 29, 2026
Excerpt: "A study published in the journal #Biocontaminant examined the effects of #GlacialMelting on our #WaterSupply.
"#Glaciers serve as reservoirs for #AntibioticResistanceGenes, or #ARGs, and other #microbes. When they are released from the ice, they enter our water systems, posing a major health risk to people downstream.
"Millions of people get their water from glacier-fed rivers and lakes. ARGs are strands of DNA that make bacteria more resistant to drugs. When ARGs in #meltwater make their way into our water supply, they become a global public health risk.
"The study emphasizes the importance of viewing glaciers, rivers, and lakes as being part of a 'glacier continuum.' This means they are an interconnected system rather than separate environments.
Why are melting glaciers concerning?
"From our gas-powered cars to #overconsumption, human activity has contributed to the production of heat-trapping gases that warm the planet. Rising global temperatures have caused glaciers to rapidly melt, causing elevated sea levels and releasing ARGs.
"ARGs from melting glaciers are worrisome because they help facilitate the spread of diseases. This threat is compounded by the fact that our growing #microplastic problem is also helping #AntibioticResistant #bacteria breed. As a result, #medicines are being rendered less effective."

Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are denied control of the aquifers under their feet, and must instead buy the water back in limited quantities from the Israeli national water company, Mekorot, via Israel's auxiliary: the Ramallah-based so-called "Palestinian Authority" #PA.
• While Israelis have access to an average of 300 liters of water per day,
• Palestinians in the West Bank enjoy only 80 liters — 20 liters less than the World Health Organization’s recommended daily quantity.
• For Palestinians in Gaza, it is currently as low as 3 liters."Long neglected by the Jerusalem Municipality, Kufr ‘Aqab residents now receive only a few hours of water a week — and the authorities refuse to help": https://www.972mag.com/kufr-aqab-jerusalem-water-crisis/

#ClimateChange Contributes to Shift in #LakeErie’s Harmful #AlgalBlooms
Blooms over the past decade have started earlier in July and had longer peaks, according to #NOAA researchers.
By Kathiann M. Kowalski
July 26, 2024"Lake Erie’s harmful algal blooms have started sooner and had longer peak periods over the past decade compared to earlier years, newly released data shows. Warming temperatures linked to climate change are a cause, according to researchers for NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, with interactions among species likely playing a role as well.
"The NOAA scientists discussed the shift and forecast a moderate to above-moderate algal bloom for the lake’s western basin this summer during a briefing last month at Ohio State University and Ohio Sea Grant’s Stone Laboratory, off the coast of Put-in-Bay on Lake Erie.
"Algal blooms occur when #cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, grow out of control due to a combination of excess #nutrients, #weather patterns and other #ecological factors. The blooms can be a serious public health problem because some types of cyanobacteria produce toxins. #Microcystin, for example, can lead to skin rashes, gut problems and liver and kidney issues. Relatively high levels of it in August 2014 prompted a two-day shutdown of #Toledo’s public #WaterSupply, which comes from Lake Erie."
