were does surrey get its water from?

There are sections of the river (in Quebec) where the tides cause the river to flow upstream.  This still happens today.

Okay...\n\nFor starters, water is H2O. We can make H2O by burning hydrogen gas in the presence of oxygen, easy, but then where would we get enough hydrogen gas to make even a noticeable amount of water? Besides, the problem isnt finding H2O--it's producing clean water. Most of our planet is under water, and there's tons of water vapor in the air. The difficulty is getting a large source of water where peole live, purifying it, and keeping it clean until it gets to people's homes.\n\nThe shortages in your area may be because there's just no ready source of water there, or because your community uses way too much of it. Environmental stuff like seasons play a part, too. There's usually less water in reservoirs during summer because of the decreased rainfall and increased evaporation.\n\nSometimes science isn't the problem. We already have more than enough technological remedies for every little inconvenience. Start conserving water, and you won't have to worry about shortages.

You could be retaining water.

"Spring water" does not refer to the SEASON of Spring.  It refers to water that is from fresh water springs (as in fresh rivers).

In UK we'd say this is a case of "It does what it says on the tin"!  In other words, they're exactly as the name implies - they're plants that float on the surface of the water. They extract nutrients from the water itself (and from the air too). \n\nIn the winter many such plants sink to the bottom of the pond where they escape the worst of the winter freeze and then in the spring they float up again and flower once more.

Kind of. You can get kidney stones in some areas depending on the quality of the water.

Depends on where the pond is. Provided the pond hasn't been polluted it is perfectly safe to drink the water from the pond. Where do you think people got their drinking water before electric water pumps were invented? From wells and bores and creeks and.... ponds.\n\n\nIf the pond has been polluted there are any number of reasons it wouldn't be safe to drink, but they all come under either biological or chemical pollutuants. \n\nChemical pollutants could be anything from pesticides to heavy metals from the rocks the water has flowed over to chemcals from surrounding plant life.\n\nBiological pollutants can be pretty much anyhting from viruses and bacteria from human or animal faeces through to fungi and worms that livein the water as part of their natural lifecyle. And yes, numerous protists are also potentially dangeous biological pollutants.

Singapore has more money for weapons, but most of the water used by Singapore is still provided by Malaysia. There are holding reservoirs on the island, but they are fed from the mainland and can only hold about a week or two worth of water for the population. This is one of the primary deficiencies from 1942 that still has not been corrected, and places Singapore in a position of weakness.

it does but it's diluted.Some bodies of water have higher salt content than others.

No, it is mountain spring water. You can buy distilled, from an automotive store.

Yes it is. The water is constantly recycled, between lakes, groundwater, rivers, seas, ice caps/galciers, clouds, used by humans etc. (Not in this order though)\n\nThe only time that there is any 'new' water introduced is when a volcano erupts.

From the earth, from the ground, from the water company, from the faucet???\n\nWhat do you mean....
