Tap Water vs. Bottled Water Purity
According to ABC News, most bottled water is nothing more than reprocessed tap water. And, according to the Mayo Clinic, tap and bottled water are comparable in terms of safety (unless you live in a place where the water is known to be contaminated). In fact, tap water is regulated under more stringent standards than bottled water. If you’re still not convinced about the quality of your tap water, you could filter your tap water and still save significant money over the cost of bottled water. The Cost of Drinking Water Tap Water vs. Bottled Water Bottled water costs approximately 2,000 – 3000 times more than tap water, and Americans drink millions of gallons of it every year. If you drink 64 oz. of water daily, you would… Read More »Tap Water vs. Bottled Water Purity

What’s happening with the Colorado River Drought plans?
‘Done’ isn’t done: What’s happening with the Colorado River drought plans? by Luke Runyon and Bret Jaspers of KJZZ, published 7 February 2019 “The seven states that rely on the Colorado River for water haven’t been able to finish a series of agreements that would keep its biggest reservoirs, Lake Mead and Lake Powell, from dropping to levels not seen since they were filled decades ago. Five states — Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming and Nevada — are done. So is northern Mexico. But California and Arizona failed to meet the federal government’s Jan. 31 deadline to wrap up negotiations and sign a final agreement.” Read the full article at Cronkite News published by Arizona PBS.

Snowpack in trouble across the West and around the globe
Snowpack in trouble across the West and around the globe, reseachers say by Tony Davis, Arizona Daily Star, published 18 December 2018, updated 22 December 2018 “From the Colorado Rockies to the Tibetan Plateau to the Greenland Sea, snowpack that provides billions of people with drinking water is suffering long-term declines, researchers said at a national conference last week” Two Arizona researchers found that total snowpack in the Colorado River Basin’s mountain ranges had declined a little more than 40% between 1982 and 2016. Another global study found that water supplies of more than one-sixth of the world’s population is at risk due to declining snowpack. Read the full article at Tucson.com news Return to Home page.
Fourth National Climate Assessment

Global Warming of 1.5°C, an IPCC special report
Climate-related risks to health, livelihoods, food security, water supply, human security, and economic growth are projected to increase with global warming of 1.5°C and increase further with 2°C. Global Warming of 1.5°C is the first in a series of Special Reports to be produced in the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change’s (“IPCC”) Sixth Assessment Cycle. The report finds that limiting global warming to 1.5°C would require “rapid and far-reaching” transitions in land, energy, industry, buildings, transport, and cities. Global net human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) would need to fall by about 45 percent from 2010 levels by 2030,reaching ‘net zero’ around 2050. This means that any remaining emissions would need to be balanced by removing CO2 from the air. “The good news is that some of the kinds… Read More »Global Warming of 1.5°C, an IPCC special report
