The Science of Water, Waves, Water Pollution, Water Treatment, Water Therapy and Water Ecology
Language: English
Release Date: September 1, 2011
Water is our most essential element. Every day we drink it, bathe in it, cook with it and wash with it. What do we know about our water? Where does it come from? Is it clean? Is it healthy? Perhaps it is polluted or toxic. Perhaps what comes out of our faucet is making us sick. Perhaps we are slowly...
