In remote mountainous areas of the United States, drinking water has become a big problem in many places due to unstable electricity.

Recently, more and more people have begun to pay attention to drinking water safety, especially the problem of heavy metal pollution. Have you ever thought that the water you drink every day may contain harmful substances such as mercury, lead, and cadmium?
Have you ever thought about how much high-tech is hidden behind the water that flows out of the tap every morning? In the past, water plants loved to use chlorine for disinfection. Although it can kill bacteria, people always worry about whether they will drink some harmful substances - such as the pungent smell of chlorine and byproducts that may cause cancer.
When you turn on the tap every morning and see clear water flowing out, do you think the water quality must be fine? But do you know that the secondary water supply tanks in many communities are actually dirtier than you can imagine - rusty, with algae growing wildly, and some tanks are even uncovered, with vegetables planted and birds raised next to them... These "invisible pollution" may be quietly endangering your health!
