I think that it is the poor water storage (open and semi-stagnant reservoirs), poor distribution systems (zero-pressure pipes), and zero water treatment before distribution that makes it most dangerous.Jil Wrinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289612869693691661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943735266880000142.post-6962079462294227762010-10-12T23:41:52.492-04:002010-10-12T23:41:52.492-04:00Well,Jil is telling the truth, The water DOES come...Well,Jil is telling the truth, The water DOES come from the top of the mountain and I drink it everyday,I have never gotten sick from it.

I...Well I don't actually drink the water here. I just referred to immunity to "whatever is in the water" as a way of saying immunity to everything, everywhere in this country.<br /><br />However, it should be known that Jasaan is special in the fact that its water comes from the town's natural springs, is very fresh, and perfectly safe to drink. (I just don't trust the water pipes in my house to not add bacteria to the water.)Jil Wrinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289612869693691661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943735266880000142.post-30997821968380740902010-10-12T16:53:08.707-04:002010-10-12T16:53:08.707-04:00Did you really drink the water in the third world?...Did you really drink the water in the third world?if so,WHY?you cant even put tap water ice cubes in your drinks in the third world.nice one,mate!lol!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
