This was not an accident. This is genocide.
29 years working water utilities here. The majority of water in the us comes from wells into aquifers. Those are fed by rain or lots from seepage from river basins. The irony is those systems that are fed from surface waters, ie: rivers, lakes or reservoir, will be the one LEAST effected as those systems are already set up to filter possible chemical contamination. 90+% of groundwater systems have simple filters and softener systems that take dirt and mineral buildups out.
