The interview with Hunter Bassler from KPNX 12 News was interesting as it went in many different directions! I appreciate how it always came back around to answering all questions and it was easily relatable. It was so cool that they were able to host a panel at the Colorado River Water Users Association Conference! They asked for better water stories to disprove conspiracy theories.
What I found most interesting is that there is a conspiracy theory that water respawns in pockets under the earth. Unfortunately, I thought this was true in a way. I had previously believed rain water soaked into the earth, replenishing wells and water that had been used in the earth.
When I tried to look into what happens if a well runs out of water, I came across a few scary articles and discontinued looking into the matter.
Hunter mentions the worsening water crisis that may lead to water cuts throughout my area. I had not heard there was a water crisis, until this interview. This will definitely continue to stay in my mind and I will be more mindful about my water consumption.
After looking through the Verify This site Hunter mentioned, I learned that water bottles actually don’t expire! I had been told that they do, but apparently it is just the taste that is compromised. This is only if the water is stored in appropriate conditions.
I will be adding this website to a growing list of sources to verify information:
