Moms and Marines: All the news that's fit to drink...


So here at Water Wise Guy HQ, which is located in a secret location inside a volcano in a remote jungle on an island outside of Argentina, we get alot of Google Alerts - 163 a morning to be precise. When you get so much information over a long period of time, you start to notice strong trends in water news from around the world.

Here are a few trends the Water Wise Guy team has been seeing from the cornfields of Nebraska to the rain of the Northwest to the deserts of Arizona.

1. There are alot of boil orders out there. Period. Water main breaks, flood contamination, etc have caused the ordinary citizen to take extra precaution with their water.

2. Arsenic is a big issue in the Midwest. If you live in the fine cluster of middle states, get your water tested.

3. The New York Times and AP are investigating water quality like it's going of style. But it isn't. The wealth of data these recent research studies have put together is amazing - check them out when you get a chance.

4. Proactive and responsible testing is the way to go if you want to avoid some major health issues. Whether it be the Marines, or expectant moms - water quality must be a priority.

5. No one understands what reverse osmosis is. Read this post and get your learn on.

That's it from the Water Wise Guy today! Drink. Tweet. Repeat.
