Unsafe drinking water kills almost ten million people each year, mostly children, from easily preventable illnesses like diarrhea. I'm looking for creative ideas as to how solve the problem, and powerful allies in this fight.
Maybe someone should organize Hydrologists Without Boarders.

Boiling kills all harmful bacteria and virii, what is in the water which is unsafe?
You have more to worry about than just critters in your water if the water supply is compromised by flood water. Petrochemicals, toxins and all sorts of other nasties that boiling does nothing for may be introduced to the water supply. Boiling will kill the critters (most of them) but the water's still dirty. And potentially deadly depending on what spilled into the supply.
The likelyhood of the water system being compromised is pretty low, but it does exist. Better to be safe about it than risk lives needlessly.
is conroe texas water contaminated as of 04272006?
Our water on the north side of town is brown and nasty looking.
Water Dept refuses to offer any info and today my daughter's school, a block
away was telling kids the water is contaminated, they've brought in
water machines.Yet the chumps @ the water plant won't say a word, the calls all go to an answering service which isn't allowed to comment.
Get together as many people as you can to call your town's clerk office and complain or city mayor, call your local board of health and report it. The more calls the likely an investigation will take place. Get ideas from other people, call a meeting at the school from concerned parents.
In the meantime boil all the water you use for drinking and cooking before you use it.
There are water purifiers now too right in the grocery stores you can but,Britta,not sure of the spelling. Or bottled water that can be delivered to your home.
Try going on line too for information.You can also buy water testing kits.
Does the water have an ordor to it? You shouldn't taste anything if it is good.

New studies claim unsafe levels of herbicide in drinking water
Criticism of atrazine and a general theme of "better living through chemistry". The second sponsored link was a heated response to the Times article by The American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) . The article was reactionary, defensive, and made me highly suspicious of their motives and financial backers. Looking deeper into their sight I found articles defending all sorts of controversial practices, all in the name of science.
Indeed atrazine is a widespread herbicide, used to control weeds mainly among corn and sorghum producers. In fact many farmers rely on it to produce maximum yields and argue that they couldn't feed and fuel the world without it. However, I have been in the turf industry for 20 years and been a licensed pesticide applicator for 14 years at golf courses, lawn care services and property management companies. I have never seen or applied atrazine to turf, many other questionable products but not atrazine. Hopefully that's an indicator that atrazine is at least not as prevalent in the turf industry as the article may have us believe.

BACKGROUND
There has been a general and rising interest among nation states on environmental issues, most especially environmental protection of water sources since after the United Nation’s Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), which is also called the ‘Earth Summit”, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in June 1992. It was the summit that sensitized most national governments, Municipal councils and city or towns worldwide to re-examine issues of the environment in general and water sources in particular along side with those of development. Theoretically this conference expected Nations and their citizens to recognize the rather complimentary relationship which exist between development and the environment. Practically, most nations even began to redefine national security to include the protection of water sources from both internal and external aggression (Chiras, 1994).
