It'd be interesting to know how much chlorine, if any, is added to make the tap water potable. There are many places in the world where it's perfectly safe to drink the tap water, but not pleasant.

#82Hi HN! I made this while I was lockdown-bored. The data sources are linked on the website. I plan to add scientific reports on water-levels soon on a city-level. I want to raise awareness on how saving money and the environment often comes hand in hand when it comes to drinking water.

#89Something like this is interesting, but I find it's missing a lot of the info that I care about. For example, here in Denmark, because our underground is chalk instead of rock, our water has high amounts of calcium - this makes the water 'hard', which means we can rinse off soap very easily in the shower, but most of our water-appliances and coffee machines struggle with limescale, and towels need to be washed with a…
This year I went abroad for a business trip. In the hotel, after washing my hands or taking showers, I found I couldn't rinse off the soap. I was so confused because it was so hard to do it, plus I brought my own soap. I inspected, smelled, and tasted the water carefully and didn't find any difference.
