microorganisms such as viruses, bacterial diseases and parasitic worms.<\/p>\n \u00a0What is a virus?<\/strong><\/p>\n A virus is a microscopic parasite of plants, animals, and bacteria in well water that can cause disease.<\/p>\n Some of the more common viral infection effecting world water today are: Gasroeneritus (cause of Diarrhea), Hepatitus A, Polio, Dengu Fever, Salmonella infection and dysentery.<\/p>\n Bacteria are single-celled, microscopic organisms found in all environments.\u00a0 These environments include soil, water, and the bodies of animals and humans.<\/p>\n Some of the more common bacterial diseases effecting world water today are: Cholera, E.coli, Dysentery, Salmonella, and Typhoid Fever.<\/p>\n Parasitic worms are worm like organisms that feed on their living host, using them as a source of nourishment and protection.\u00a0 Parasitic worms live in the intestines and other organs.\u00a0 They cause disruption to their hosts nutrient absorption which causes disease and illness in humans.<\/p>\n Some of the most common by parasitic worm related diseases effecting world water today are: Guinea Worm Disease, Schistosomiasis, Enterobiasis, Ascariasis, and Tapeworms.<\/p>\n \u00a0When it rains the water picks up\u00a0 human and animal feces and harmful chemicals from the ground<\/strong>.\u00a0 These travel with the water and end up in rivers, lakes, and underground water supplies.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>In most cases water pollution begins at the water source<\/strong>.\u00a0 There are two main sources of water.\u00a0 The first is surface water<\/strong> from rivers and lakes.\u00a0 Surface water can become contaminated from acid rain, polluted storm water, pesticide in the ground, and industrial waste making its way into the water source.<\/p>\n \u00a0The second is groundwater<\/strong>, which comes from private wells or public water supplies.<\/p>\n Groundwater can be polluted by contaminants that drain into the water source from: landfills and septic systems, careless disposal of hazardous products, chemicals used in farming and agriculture, and leaking underground storage tanks.<\/p>\n \u00a0The above ways of contamination are avoided when the water is passed through modern water treatment techniques and facilities.\u00a0 However, this in itself introduces its own dangers.\u00a0 Strong chemicals are used<\/strong> in the water treatment process and these chemicals can be harmful when consumed over long periods of time.\u00a0 According to the Global Healing Centre<\/a> some of the proven effects of long term exposure to strong chemicals in drinking water are: brain damage, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and cancer.<\/p>\n \u00a0Some of the most common chemicals effecting world water today are: Fluoride, Chlorine, mercury, PCB’s (a man made chemical), MtBE (contained in gasoline), Dioxin, HCB (hexachlorobenzene), <\/strong>DDT (a organochlorine insecticide).<\/p>\n \u00a0Toxic metals enter our water systems and supplies through industrial process as well as from materials used in your plumbing system.\u00a0 These include arsenic, barium, chromium, lead, mercury, and silver, and can cause acute poisoning and cancer, as well as other health effects.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.0″
