Abstract: We are dependent on water for our health and prosperity yet we know surprisingly little about it. We take for granted that good quality, safe water will come out of the tap when we turn it on and our used water will go 'away' when we pull the plug. Studying the water that we use inside our home and its adventures after it leaves us. We will explore what we put into water and how it is taken out again. Importantly we will address the issue of how we can be sure that it has been taken out. Sophiticated and efficient new technologies are now available and we need to take advantage of them, understand them and learn to trust them, in order that we may make the most of the water that is currently available to us.
