Water, we would have no life without water. Some stuff that  i personally enjoy like showering, fishing,    canoeing, and swimming. if we didn't have water none of that would be possible. If there was no water then nobody would be able to take a shower.

 Another issue with water is that it is getting polluted and it is ruining the water. For example our water has so many chemicals in it that it is flammable. We have a spring behind our house that we use to water our garden and animals. but if you take the water out and test it it is full of all sorts of dangerous chemicals. There is a multiple factories about a mile away from my house that make alot of plastic, fiberglass and cleaners. I think that they are the one polluting the water because the are never treat the water before they dump it back into the river.

 What really needs to be done is have the water tested and treated when it comes out of the factory. If they did that then the water would be cleaner and we wouldn't be having these problems. O another thing Warren County is the nursery capital of the world. Then with all the fertilizer that is used on the plants to get them to grow is getting in the water too, which i am guilty of that to because we own a nursery. Some of the chemicals kill the animals when they drink the water.

 I have tried to be more caring and use less chemicals and fertilizers. i think if we can come up with a all natural fertilizers and bug chemicals that will solve the problem. Before we plant new nursery in the field instead of green house their is many types of fertilizers and chemicals that make the bush or tree grow healthy that gets mixed into the soil. and then when it rains it then washes the soil which contains various chemicals and fertilizers in it, onto the river. Which pollutes the water.

  1. Jacob - I would be interested to know more about the source of your water there in Tennessee where you live. Do most people get their water from a public source, and if so, what is that public source? Or do most people have private wells? Were you speaking about the issues of flammable chemicals in your local water supply, or was that something you read or heard about elsewhere? How would you go about finding facts about the quality of your local water? I would be interested in learning more.
