Myth & Truth of THE WATER

Myth:
Once you use water, it’s gone.
Truth:
I don’t think the water would be gone once you use it. When you use it, it goes through pipes to the factory, get cleaned, and then you can reuse it again.
Myth:
There are more pollutants in drinking water today than before.
Truth:
I think that part of it is true, but also false.The truth is that we do have more pollutants in drinking water today than a long time ago, but we also reuse more water and recycle more to clean drinking water than before. So I guess we make more pollutant water, but also clean it.
Myth:
Bottled water is safer than tap water.
Truth:
I guess some bottled water is safer than tap water. Because the bottled water gets checked in factory, even though that the tap waters get checked often, the pipes could be filled with bacteria growing inside.But some bottled water aren’t safe also, the workers in factories might not have checked the property properly, or there were space for bacteria to be growing in there

AR, your writing is very complete and thoughtful. I'm wondering about myth #2 though. The point is we are much better at detecting pollutants now, so maybe that is the reason it seems we have more.
