Underground naturally carbonated water is not potable unless treated

 

 

Thailand’s Department of Underground Water Resources has warned against drinking the naturally carbonated water which is flowing from an underground source, like the geyser currently rising from a rice field in Laokwan district of the western province of Kanchanaburi.

 

Department Director-General Sakda Vichiensilp said that the iron content of the water, which tastes like soda water, is above safety levels and contains significant amounts of bicarbonate, measured at 2,400 milligrams per litre, which is what makes the water taste like soda.

 

He recommended that the water be treated before consumption, to get rid of any ferric oxide present.

Wow! Now they are going to start a Hong Tong drinking mania in the rice field of Kanchanaburi. Open up three new karaoke in the field and employ 700 hostesses.

 

This is magic. After that they can throw all the empty whiskey bottles in a pile, let a blind man pick one, but a lottery ticket after the production date on the bottle, win mega millions and live happily ever after. ????

 

Thats potable!

And it's OK for agricultural usage/irrigation?
