You and I are 70%-80% water. Without a wholesome supply, we can die within days. Yet water is so ever-present that we abuse it, regularly. Yes. People dump rubbish into streams and rivers; they poop and pee into water reckoned to be of drinkable quality; water authorities fire in Chlorine, Aluminium sulphate and Sodium flouride – all, especially the last, dangerously poisonous substances; the same authorities allow hazardous parasites to slide into the water supply from agricultural excesses – as has happened to the supply for Galway City in recent months.
