Drinking water or potable water is water of sufficiently high quality that it can be consumed or used without risk of immediate or long term harm. In most developed countries, the water supplied to households, commerce and industry is all of drinking water standard, even though only a very small proportion is actually consumed or used in food preparation. Over large parts of the world, humans have inadequate access to potable water and use sources contaminated with disease vectors, pathogens or unacceptable levels of dissolved chemicals or suspended solids. Such water is not potable and drinking or using such water in food preparation leads to widespread acute and chronic illnesses and is a major cause of death in many countries. Reduction of waterborne diseases is a major public health goal in developing countries. Typically, water supply networks deliver potable water, whether it is to be used for drinking, washing or landscape irrigation. One counterexample is urban China, where drinking water can optionally be delivered by a separate tap. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "Drinking water" Does drinking water after drinking wine make you drunker, or get you drunk again, and why? Q. I've been a fan of wine for a long time.

Answered by red - Sun Dec 30 23:53:22 2007 How much water should I be drinking during the day? Q. I go to work and school everyday from 8 to 5, and find that I never remember to drink water. I spend all day running back and forth from work to class, and can barely finish half a bottle of water by the time 5 rolls around.

Q. We all have experinced that immedietely drinking water after eating or while taking amla (Indian Gooseberry) gives a sweet taste to mouth. Why this happens ? Is the reverse case possible where first we take a sweet fruit (thing) and after eating it the mouth becomes bitter/sour ? Asked by bsure - Mon Oct 15 03:29:19 2007 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. Yes, the reverse is possible. After eating the Indian melon (orange in colour), if one drinks water, one can feel some bitterness/sourness in the tongue. Therefore it is always advised that after eating melon, one should wait for atleast half an hour before drinking water.
