Talk:Drinking water

Relevant discussion over at water quality
I've started a discussion at the talk page of water quality which is about better interlinking between the articles drinking water, water supply and water quality. E.g. I am currently ponder over where the examples of contaminated drinking water fit best. I suggest we bundle them in one place and then link to there from the other articles.

Inaccurate graph
I removed the world map displaying safe tap water as the image is inaccurate and the sourcing is a bit unclear. For instance, the second cited source shows that Lithuania does not have tap water safe for consumption. (Link to hi res image) The Wiki image shows Lithuania as having safe tap water. So which is it?

Additionally the second source cites Yale and CDC as their sources but after going down multiple rabbit holes I can't actually tell where this data is coming from nor can I find the raw published data. Also there is conflicting information from other reputables organizations such as the WHO.

According to the World Health Organization 92% of households in Lithuania have safe tap water. (link). Also digging in to the CDC website it seems they may have removed the part that specifically says whether tap water is safe or not; all I can find is boilerplate "be safe" type messages, i.e. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/lithuania --skarz (talk) 14:58, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I have removed Lithuania, Latvia and Belarus. I would keep only those states that are uncontested.Jirka.h23 (talk) 14:13, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
