This Week in Water for March 18, 2018

Drinking Bottled Water? You’re Probably Drinking Plastics. That story and more on H2O Radio’s weekly news report about water.

Much of the raw material used to make bottled water comes from natural gas produced through fracking. There will be a first-of-its-kind hearing next week about climate change pitting fossil fuel giants against cities. What did the oil companies know—and when did they know it? While attention has been focused on the possibility of Cape Town running out of water, another city is facing a similar threat. There was a blind taste test comparing recycled water to tap water. Guess which water won.
