The water we drink

Well, in Santo Domingo, is a long history. I remember when I was a child that I used to drink that water. The taste was excellent but nowadays is other thing.

According to caasd they say the water is potable. However if you try to drink it you likely to get a bacteria or a bad decease which may cause you even the death

.

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.

 Water service:

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 unplanned settlements and activities and lack of sanitation services.

In conclusion people should be more conscious about the importance of the good water in this planet, knowing how valuable is water for human being  as far as scientific , if there is water probably will be life. Therefore if we contaminate the rivers and oceans you are killing the mankind little by little. Maybe people nowadays won’t suffer the damages but your son or grandson will.
