London Water Quality?

"The Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) regulates public water supplies\nin England and Wales. It is independent.  The DWI “is responsible for\nassessing the quality of drinking water in England and Wales, taking\nenforcement action if standards are not being met, and appropriate\naction when water is unfit for human consumption.”\nhttp://www.dwi.gov.uk/\n\nThe below quote is from a detailed report on water quality in Thames\nWater, taken from the Drinking Water 2004 report.\n\n“Nearly all the tests met the relevant mandatory quality standards\n(148 failures out of a total of 335,073 tests) demonstrating the good\nquality of drinking water in the region.”\n\nFluoride was tested on 2078 occasions and on each occasion was within\nthe limits set down.\n\nWhen you read the report makes sure you have the pdf bookmarks open on\nthe left as the pdf has links to other parts of the report.\nHttp://www.dwi.gov.uk/pubs/annrep04/Thames%20Region.pdf\n\nThe home page of DWI has links to other general facts about water\nquality and advice which you may wish to explore.\n\nI’m not sure as to what you mean by fluoride is put in as a social\ncontrol, fluoride is argued to be beneficially for dental hygiene. In\nany event, Thames Water has naturally occurring fluoride, so none is\nadded.\n\nBritish Medical Association.\n“Northumbrian Water Ltd., Yorkshire Water Services Ltd. And Thames\nWater Utilities Ltd supply water in which flouride occurs naturally,\nto some areas approaching one part per million.”\nhttp://www.bma.org.uk/ap.nsf/Content/Water+fluoridation\n\nReading report on the environment - page 13 confirms the above.\nHttp://www.reading.gov.uk/Documents/ourenvironment/stateoftheenvironment/Chap005_Water.pdf\n\nI know this is not independent, but this is from Thames Water itself.\n\n“Fluoride\nFluoride occurs in soils and rocks and therefore may occur naturally\nin drinking water. The concentration of fluoride in water depends on\nthe type of rock or soil the water has come into contact with. In the\nThames Water area concentrations are generally between 0.1-0.4mg/l,\nalthough in an area to the south and west of Reading the\nconcentrations are typically around 1mg/l due to the local geology.\n\nFluoride concentrations in drinking water of 1mg/l are considered to\nreduce the incidence of tooth decay and for this reason fluoride is\nadded to some water supplies. Fluoride was not added to any Thames\nWater supply during 2004. All of the 2,078 analyses for fluoride\ncomplied with the standard of 1.5mg/l.”\n\nThere is also a section on lead which indicates that is lead in\nhouseholders’ properties which is the cause of any lead pollution."

Just google pollution and recylcing.  You can get images for your report that way too.

Find people who have lived there and ask them how it is.  Search the WWW for accounts by people who have lived there.  If possible, go there and check it out before moving there.\nPersonally, I prefer living in Kent, east of the Medway River.  Lived there for 2 years - it was fantastic!

All lead water mains have been replaced in the UK now.\n\nHowever, you are responsible for the pipe from the main (or from the boundary of your property) to your home, and if your home is over about 80 years old then this pipe will almost certainly be lead unless you have replaced it. Piping in the house may also be lead.\n\nMost water authorities operate a free led replacement service. How this works is that you replace all of the lead pipe in your home and install a new MDPE pipe around 6 feet underground to connect to the mains. They inspect this and then replace your connection to the main free.\n\nLead in pipes is most definitely harmful, but the risk is minor, especially if the only lead is in the main pipe. Run the water for a few seconds in the morning to flush out any that has been standing in the pipe if you know it is definitely a lead pipe.\n\nThe chlorine in water is completely harmless.\n\nMost home filters are of very little value. They do not remove heavy metals (you need an ion exchange resin or chelate for that) and usually cannot remove chlorine. However, because they require you to leave water standing for a long time the amount of chlorine will reduce naturally (it is almost all gone if left say overnight). They mainly remove particles.\n\nBottled water is a matter of choice. However, it is definitely not as safe as tap water in terms of infection because it does not contain chlorine and so it should never, ever, ever be given to people with weak immune systems such as very young babies. Bacteria always grows in bottled water, even with the seal unbroken.

it depends on the properties of water extracted at that place,it could be any thing for obvious reasons.it depends on H+ ions..it depends on acidic property of soil, pollution, type of pollutio,wher that water is coming from like upstream properties.its hard to say.

i don't get it...is'nt it 2006...if so how can 2001 be the present?!??! if u mean how it is different then  i say its a lot worse than 5 years ago.sparse rainfall and misuse of the water has caused a major depletion of the water table in the cities. all the rivers are polluted.did you know that the yamuna gets 1000 tonnes of sewage and waste material DAILY. the capital of india, delhi,gets its drinking water from this same river.even the so called posh localities have barely two hours of water everyday.

Rainwater will have a pH determined by its composition.  Its composition will be water (pH=7), O2, CO2, SO2, NOx,... stop me when I've mentioned something that strikes you as a product of human pollution.  There are some ultra left wing radical commie pinko pseudo scientists who LIE about pollution and say it is a GLOBAL problem.  But WE all know that we can fowl our rivers and burn our forests and nothing will be affected more than oh a couple of feet away, right?  RIGHT?!! Tha tha thats all folks.

You don't give a location (country/city/town) so I don't know, but couldn't you ask your college professor for some ideas ... or some fellow students in the know.\n\nIf you are doing a home study course, another idea might be to make enquiries at your local water utility provider.  Make sure you speak to someone who has all the requisite qualificiations to help you.  Good luck!

Dear Editor,\n\nI am a student concerned about the recent water supply shortages caused by mismanagement by the water supply authorities.  The shortages have caused me no end of misery.  Not only am I not able to take a shower, or flush my toilet consistently, I am becoming dehydrated from lack of fresh water to drink.  As a result, I can't do my own homework and must instead ask strangers on the internet to do it for me.\n\nI would appreciate it if you could write an editorial on the subject to pressure the authorities to increase the water flow.\n\nSincerely,\n\nMy name, not somebody else that I copied from.
