UMateyu Horwood / Getty Izithombe Inkampani yaseArizonia tech ifumene indlela yokuguqula umoya wentlango waseDubai ube yindawo yokubhukuda yeOlimpiki efanelekileyo yamanzi asebhotileni qho ngonyaka (nge I-BNN Bloomberg ). KumaMelika, ukusela umoya wentlango kuya kuba yinto eyahlukileyo kulo mthetho. Ukutya kunye neWatch Watch kuqikelela ukuba ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-64 ze amanzi asebhotileni eUnited States kuvela kwiinkqubo zamanzi zikamasipala. Kuyakhathaza xa ucinga ukuba iinkampani zihlawulisa amaxesha angama-30 ngaphezulu kwilitha nganye yamanzi eebhotile kunamanzi ompompo (nge Ukuzinza kweHarvard ).
Uthanda ungathandi, siphila kwixesha lamanzi ayiliweyo. Ndiyabulela ukufudumala kwehlabathi, ungonwabela iibhotile ezingama- $ 90.00 ngokuthe ngqo xa unyibilika kwi-icebergs yaseNorway (nge UMgcini ). Ukuba ayonelanga ngokwaneleyo, zive ukhululekile ukukhupha i-402.00 yeedola ngebhotile evunwe kumanzi olwandle aseHawaii (nge Kwibhotile ). Okanye ungatyala imali kwi-60,000 yeedola Ibhotile egutyungelwe ngama-24 eekarati zegolide . Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele, ewe, nokuba ukuthenga izinto zexabiso eliphantsi kunokukuhlawulisa idenariyo entle. Sebenzisa amaxabiso eAmazon, Ibhalansi uqikelela ukuba umntu omdala osela phakathi kwe-91 kunye ne-125 i-ounces yamanzi yonke imihla angachitha phakathi kwe- $ 1,000 kunye ne- $ 1,400 kumanzi asebhotileni ngonyaka.
Iikhowudi zokunxiba zeenkwenkwezi
Ngaphandle kweendleko, abathengi bayayifuna. Ngo-2018, amanzi asebhotileni yayisesona siselo sidumileyo eMelika IStatista ). Konke oku kubuza umbuzo: ngaba singayithethelela i-hype? Intoni ngu umahluko phakathi kwampompo kunye namanzi asebhotileni?
Ngaba amanzi asebhotileni angaba yingozi ngakumbi kulawo aphuma etepini?
Ukuba uyakholelwa kwi-EPA, iipesenti ezingama-92 zamanzi ompompo eUnited States zikhuselekile (nge Incoko ). Kodwa, kwisixeko esinjengeFlint, eMichigan, apho amanzi okusela angcolileyo kwafunyanwa ukuba kuye kwanda kakhulu ukufa kosana olungekazalwa, amanzi asebhotileni yeyona nto unokukhetha kuyo (nge IWashington Post ). UFlint akahlukanga. Nganye Inzululwazi , Ngexesha leengxaki zamanzi zikaFlint ngo-2015, izigidi ezingama-21 zethu sasisela amanzi etepu angcoliswe ngumkhombisi, icacteria bacterias, nitrate, okanye arsenic. Ngo-2017, umzekelo, abahlali basePittsburg kwafuneka babilise amanzi abo ukubulala isifo sorhudo. INewark, okwangoku, ifumanise i-carcinogenic haloacetic acid emanzini ayo. Kwaye ukunikezelwa kwamanzi eBrady, eTexas kuqulethe izixa eziyingozi zomhlaza wamathambo obangela i-radium (nge Ushishino ngaphakathi ).
Kodwa amanzi asebhotileni akhuselekanga ngokuzenzekelayo kunamanzi etephu. Isenokuba nje yimeko evulekileyo. Kungenxa yokuba, eUnited States, i-EPA ilawula onke amanzi etephu, kodwa i-FDA (elawula amanzi asebhotileni) iyasilela lawula amanzi apakishwe kwaye athengiswe ngaphakathi kurhulumente omnye, eshiya iipesenti ezingama-60 ukuya kuma-70 zamanzi asebhotileni athengiswa phakathi kwamazwe kakhulu engalawulwa (nge Yima ).
Amanzi asebhotileni anokuqulatha amanqanaba anobungozi eekhemikhali kunye neebacteria (nge Ixesha ). Iimpawu ezaziwayo zamanzi asebhotileni anjengeAquafina kunye Dasani Inokuthi ikhukule ngaphakathi kwakho ngemicroplastics (nge Ushishino ngaphakathi ). Ngaba ezi zinto zinokuyichaphazela impilo yakho? Asazi. Kodwa oososayensi banenkxalabo yokuba bazichanaba kuthi kwiikhemikhali eziyingozi kwimpilo yethu yokuzala kunye nokubangela ukulibaziseka kophuhliso (nge IWashington Post ).
Ikhekhe elinesiqhamo lilitye lengqalutye
Xa usela amanzi asebhotileni, yile nto eyenzekayo kwindalo esingqongileyo
Amanzi empompo anokuba okanye angabi sempilweni kuwe kunamanzi asebhotileni. Kodwa izandla-phantsi zisempilweni kwimeko-bume yethu.
Iinkqubo eziza kunyanga amanzi etephu kunye nokususa iikhemikhali eziyingozi ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo zivelisa ifuthe kwindalo esingqongileyo. Kodwa ezi mpembelelo ziphaphathekile xa kuthelekiswa nendawo yemo engqongileyo amanzi asebhotileni , ngakumbi iinkqubo zamanzi asebhotileni ezisebenzisa ibenye, ezisebenzisa amandla aphakathi kwali-11 ukuya kuma-90 kunamandla ompompo (ngokusebenzisa IGunya leMithombo yaManzi yaseMassachusetts ).
amanzi okusela asebhotileni
Cinga, umzekelo, ukuba ngokwefayile ye- Iprojekthi yaManzi , Iipesenti ezingama-80 zeebhotile zamanzi ezise-US aziphinda zisetyenziswe. Endaweni yoko, baba ziinkunkuma kwaye bathatha iminyaka eyi-1 000 ukuya kwi-biodegrade okanye bavelise umsi onetyhefu ngelixa betshisiwe. Ke kukho into yokuba sisebenzisa i-17 yezigidi zemiphanda yeoyile ngonyaka ukuvelisa amanzi asebhotileni esiwasebenzisayo (ngeHarvard Sustainability). Okokugqibela, kuthatha ubuncinci i-1.39 yeelitha zamanzi ukuvelisa ilitha enye yamanzi asebhotileni (nge i-NPR ). Iprojekthi yaManzi ibeka la manani kwiilitha ezi-3.
Ke, kwixa elizayo xa urhawuzelela ibhotile kwisinyibilikisi, i-glace yaseNorway? Mhlawumbi uxhathise isilingo. Ngokukodwa ukuba ungomnye wama-92 epesenti wethu onwabela impilo, elawulwa ngamanzi etephu.
