Question

The people in a location in Florida depend on groundwater for their supply of drinking water. The groundwater in the location has been tested recently and the nitrate and phosphate levels have been found to be very high in the groundwater. What are people in the location most likely to do?
start drinking bottled water
reduce their water consumption
start storing rain water for drinking purpose
install water filtering equipment in their houses

Answer 1

Hey:)

Bottled water is definitely not a long-term plan.

Reducing the water consumption does not really solve the problem.

Store the rain water is a nice choice, but you cannot drink the rain water directly, it needs to be filtered.

Since the contamination is only caused by N and P, it should be easy to filter out, but still, it depends on the type of the compound of N and P.

I would choose the last option.
