omg, water was in DIRT before it was in my tap?

I'm gonna barf.

Reminds me of that movie 'Babies' ... around a few years back. Traced the lives of 4 children from birth. One in Japan, one in USA, one in Africa, and I can't remember the fourth. Anyway, their first years were markedly different, as you can well imagine. I still remember the Japanese kids playing with these colorful plastic toys while the African kids amused themselves by pounding soft rocks on top of harder rocks while sitting in the dirt.

There were also the scenes of the African kids drinking out of mud puddles. I gotta think, bad idea anywhere, but in Africa, that is a recipe for parasitic invasion. Which brings me to the point of my post -- mother nature would have failed us if we could not thrive on the water available in our environment. It is the man made (and their aftereffects) that mother nature has not prepared us for.

What happened for those brightly colorful plastic toys to appear on the toy market shelves? How does water react to moving through pipes of varying manufacture before it reaches our (invariably) shiny chrome faucets?
