TAP WATER Vs. BOTTLE WATER

Well regarding Tap water and Bottle Water, I think that depends of the country where you live, I believe that if I travel to New York for example, we know that they used to drinking Tap Water maybe in my case I have doubt in use Tap Water and why?, because I live in Dominican Republic and my system of water is different.

On the other hand, I guess if Dominican Republic use Tap Water will be an advantage for us and we are going to use it, let me tell you we are a poor country in some way not all people have the same facilities to get something, ¿Do you believe that those people will buy Botlled Water? no, they will use tap water because will be conditioned to use it, people be honest.

That is all,

Regards!

FENG SHUI




Foundation theories
The goal of feng shui as practiced today is to situate the human built environment on spots with good qi. The "perfect spot" is a location and an axis in time.
Qi (ch'i)
Qi (roughly pronounced as the sound 'chee' in English) is a movable positive or negative life force which plays an essential role in feng shui.In feng shui as in Chinese martial arts, it refers to 'energy', in the sense of 'life force' or élan vital. A traditional explanation of qi as it relates to feng shui would include the orientation of a structure, its age, and its interaction with the surrounding environment including the local microclimates, the slope of the land, vegetation, and soil quality.
The Book of Burial says that burial takes advantage of "vital qi." Wu Yuanyin(Qing dynasty) said that vital qi was "congealed qi," which is the state of qi that engenders life. The goal of feng shui is to take advantage of vital qi by appropriate siting of graves and structures.
One use for a Luopan is to detect the flow of qi.Magnetic compasses reflect local geomagnetism which includes geomagnetically induced currents caused by space weather. Professor Max Knoll suggested in a 1951 lecture that qi is a form of solar radiation. As space weather changes over time, and the quality of qi rises and falls over time,feng shui with a compass might be considered a form of divination that assesses the quality of the local environment—including the effects of space weather.
Polarity
Polarity is expressed in feng shui as Yin and Yang Theory. Polarity expressed through yin and yang is similar to a magnetic dipole.That is, it is of two parts: one creating an exertion and one receiving the exertion. Yang acting and yin receiving could be considered an early understanding of chirality. The development of Yin Yang Theory and its corollary, Five Phase Theory (Five Element Theory), have also been linked with astronomical observations of sunspots.
The Five Elements or Forces (wu xing) — which, according to the Chinese, are metal, earth, fire, water, and wood — are first mentioned in Chinese literature in a chapter of the classic Book of History. They play a very important part in Chinese thought: ‘elements’ meaning generally not so much the actual substances as the forces essential to human, life. Earth is a buffer, or an equilibrium achieved when the polarities cancel each other.While the goal of Chinese medicine is to balance yin and yang in the body, the goal of feng shui has been described as aligning a city, site, building, or object with yin-yang force fields.

WATER IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC




Service quality
Despite decentralization efforts and continued government support, quality and continuity of service are inadequate in the Dominican Republic. Water scarcity is increasing mainly due to excessive consumption in urban areas, a lack of demand management (low tariffs, low share of metering, limited environmental consciousness) and watershed degradation. Watershed degradation occurs mainly in the lower sections of most coastal basins and is a result of unplannDrinking water quality
Various factors affect the water quality in the Dominican Republic, including: poor condition of purification systems, minimal operational controls, low level of maintenance of treatment plants, and mostly intermittent systems.
38.4% of water systems have no chlorination system installed. These are mostly smaller systems in rural areas. The fact that a chlorination system exists is not a guarantee that water is actually properly disinfected.
National chlorination coverage d settlements and activities and lack of sanitation services.

I don´t believe in dominican Tap Water.

I want to tell you what I think about Tap Water in our country. We all Know that we are poor in that topic. Our Tap Water is bad for health because comes directly from rivers whithout treatment. That means Tap Water comes with a lot of microbes and sicknesses. That happens because We are low in education, all in one country or society depends on "education".

Other factor that can influence in that problem is our geography location.
Why? Because We are likely to storms that comes from south of africa, coming with the illnesses that We suffer every huricaine season.

Those illnesses keep alive in our river and river dams (where come the majority of tap water that We use).

I had mentioned above that all this water is not purified, for that is bad for us.

Finally, the maximun authority, the goverment, don´t anything for combating the situation, and they are the first that should do somethin for this situation in our country.

We go back...
