home water filtration - the solution to water contamination?

Water contamination is defenetly "in".... Water quality is getting worse every year, as more and more contamination events happen all over the world. This is just a part of the whole picture, as our planet is becoming more and more poluted, from air, water and soil prospective.

Home water filtration is probably the easiest and most effective solution to this increasing problem. This is a means for anyone to have an ongoing cheap and waste free pure water supply.

If you are not presuaded with that, here's an article I found that gives a good look on the water contamination trend.

Water contamination 'worst in years': Greens

New figures show pesticide contamination in nine of Tasmania's waterways last month.
Five different pesticides were detected across the waterways during testing by the Department of Primary Industries and Water.
The latest pesticide test results show contamination in nine waterways including the Coal, Meander, Macquarie and Rubicon Rivers.
The Department of Primary Industries and Water tested 55 locations last month as part of its monitoring of agricultural and forestry pesticides.
The Tasmanian Greens say the latest results are the worst in three years, with seven new incidents of contamination. The Green's water spokesman, Tim Morris, says herbicide and pesticide use guidelines are inadequate and he has again called for the Government to introduce chemical trespass laws.
The State Government has proposed new regulations for ground and aerial spraying, including the creation of exclusion zones around waterways. It has sought public submissions on the draft guidelines.
Federal survey
Scientists are working on a plan to ensure farms in Tasmania remain productive without jeopardising the health of rivers and waterways.
More than 350 farmers across the state will soon receive a survey in the mail as part of a $20 million research project funded by the Commonwealth Government.
The Leader of the survey team, Professor Allan Curtis, says the aim is to keep toxins and fertilisers to a minimum.
"Yeah, there's a lot of time and financial resources invested in improving water quality condition and particularly in terms of investing in that river frontage or riparian strip," he said.
"And we need to be confident that the recommended practises that are being proposed are both socially acceptable and soundly based."
Professor Curtis says the aim is to work with farmers and graziers.
"There's not much point scientists proposing recommended practises if farmers don't find them acceptable and it's also important to see what land holders understand about the links between these practices and the water quality outcomes," he said.
"They might have different understandings of things than the scientists."
The results of the survey will be available early next year.
