Yeah I've read news articles around medications being found in water supplies - that's one of the reasons why it's so important that if you have old meds to dispose of you take them to a pharmacy for proper disposal.

Buying bottled water isn't always a great solution either - you really have to read the labels. Disani for example is just regular tap water that's been extra filtered - it's not spring water.

I think we have to start taking the protection of our water tables much more seriously than we do now. I've read predictions of freshwater shortages for parts of the states within the next 20 years. Pollution can come from many sources but one of the main things I try to fight against is development along key watershed areas. It's a big issue right now in ON.
