Summary:
"New York Times bestselling author Seth M. Siegel shows how our
drinking
water
got contaminated, what it may be doing to us, and what we must do to make it safe. If you thought America's
drinking
water
problems started and ended in Flint, Michigan, think again. From big cities and suburbs to the rural heartland, chemicals linked to cancer, heart disease, obesity, birth defects, and lowered IQ routinely spill from our taps. Many are to blame: the EPA, Congress, a bipartisan coalition of powerful governors and mayors, chemical companies, and
drinking

utilities
--
even NASA and the Pentagon. Meanwhile, the bottled
water
industry has been fanning our fears about tap
water
, but bottled
water
is often no safer. The tragedy is that existing technologies could launch a new age of clean, healthy, and safe tap
water
for only a few dollars a week per person. Scrupulously researched, Troubled
Water
is full of shocking stories about contaminated
water
found throughout the country and about the everyday heroes who have successfully forced changes in the quality and safety of our
drinking
water
. And it concludes with what America must do to reverse decades of neglect and play-it-safe inaction by government at all levels in order to keep our most precious resource safe"
