As much as 90 percent of ground water in Mass. may be corrosive [fear mongering]

...the dangers are mainly for 534,000 Massachusetts residents who draw their water from private wells, the report found. Unlike public water systems, wells are not subject to state and federal testing and treatment requirements...

Environmental advocates said they worry whether the department is up to the job of regulating the water supply....“The DEP really needs to beef up its ground water monitoring.”

[daniel1212]

Naturally ... can't have people living independently of the government, now. That's just unacceptable.

Indeed, for that makes it harder to compel you to salute the flag of Sodom.

[daniel1212]

The picture is of a ground water pond? It is by definition surface water. Do they mean, filled by ground water? This is just another tightening of the noose with regard to getting everyone dependent on government.

Liberals: Your freedom to breath air and use water on your property (which is not really your) need to be under observation and regulation for your own good.

Water is either corrosive or scale-forming. (Ryzner Stability Index). This is sort of like saying water us wet so “watch out.” People who don’t know anything should have to pass a test to be a “journalist.”

Water, the Universal Solvent, USGS Water Science School water.usgs.gov/edu/solvent.html United States Geological Survey May 2, 2016 - Water, the Universal Solvent. Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. In fact, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid.

Most expensive water in the world.

I am not sure about that, but the owner of a 2 family apt. building told me that his water bill was about 300 a month.

I often tell people that during dry spells, the only makeup water flowing into the reservoirs around here is treated sewage blasted with chlorine.

We get ours from the Quabbin Reservoir, which is not treated with chlorine, but ozone, and is quite good.

Thank God. There is not water in Hell.

Are the DBM and Rats going to hold Gov. Baker responsible for this as they did Gov. Snyder over the Flint, MI water problems?

Global Warming

[daniel1212]

Dihydrogen monoxide:

• is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
• contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
• may cause severe burns.
• contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
• accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
• may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
• has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

• as an industrial solvent and coolant.
• in nuclear power plants.
• in the production of styrofoam.
• as a fire retardant.
• in many forms of cruel animal research.
• in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
• as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_hoax

Communist plot!

[daniel1212]

I guess water, as a chemical, could be considered “corrosive” just like oxygen, as a chemical, could be considered “corrosive”.

Indeed. See comments!

[daniel1212]

Water is life, physically speaking.

In other news, the Sun continues to rise in the East.

Which liberals also wish they could control.

[daniel1212]

For what it’s worth, well water regulatory types tend to be matter of fact country types who try to help the public and prefer not to threaten or impose fines. They are unlikely to generate or support regulatory overreach.

Are you in MA?

[daniel1212]

They own the rivers, now they want to own our wells.

They own the rivers, now liberals want to own our souls.

[daniel1212]

Thanks for your input.

[TXnMA]

That's OK. There will be a plethora of carcasses on the ground before the Gorebull Wahrumists succeed in dragging this physical chemist even one nanometer toward acceptance of their idiotic and criminal position.

A liberal rag would be a better description.

[We get ours from the Quabbin Reservoir, which is not treated with chlorine, but ozone, and is quite good.]

But fish screw in it! (grin)

I think the Quabbin is spring fed. IIRC.

Dilution is the solution.

We have only one here that is spring fed and 600 feet deep.

The rest are from runoff from upstate reservoirs, surface water or they can pipe in “healthy” Hudson river water. LOL

One treatment plant dumps into a brook that has been totally destroyed by post-chlorine injection on its way to the reservoir(s).

[Kickass Conservative]

Somebody should invent some kind of a device.

Something that can take the corrosive Minerals out of the water.

If only some really smart person could make such a life changing invention, all these problems would be a distant memory.

What would this device look like? What would it be called?

It is beyond my limited intelligence to even comprehend that such a device could be engineered, designed and produced with todays limited capabilities and technology.

It’s probably in the realm of Cloning Dinosaurs, Interstellar Warp Propulsion or making a vaccine that results in honest Democrats.

I can dream, and that’s all that matters.

This may do it: Berkey BK4X2-BB Big Berkey Stainless Steel Water Filtration System ...
