Brown and blue blend as water from Ginnie Spring mixes with river water tinted by plant tannins. While this natural dye is harmless, man-made pollution clouds the future of these fountains—a fact Floridians must now confront.
Florida's 320 natural springs gush out over eight billion gallons of drinkable water every day. How these springs work, where the water comes from, and the ways in which they are all connected remain mysterious, but scientists and underwater explorers are working to change that.

Small Thoughts on Big Questions
My solution? Let's all abstain from water, and stick to beer. I realize that beer is about 95% water, so this idea actually makes no sense right now, but it will after enough beer.

I don't think beer is the way to go unless it is to forget the problem.
As for me I am unable to drink beer, how does one filter out the alcohol?
Water is the substance of all life, has anyone told our politicians?
