The Japanese are notorious for being environmentally conscious and one of the best ways to help protect the environment is by drinking clean tap water. Most of the cities of Japan do not have any treatment facility for the sewage that flows into their sewers. Instead, most tap water comes from wells that have been drilled into the earth and then into the groundwater.

If you drink this polluted water, you can be sure that it is contaminated. This means that the contaminants found in the water come directly from the soil that the city''s wells were built on.

This water is used in all kinds of industrial processes. Many factories use the same type of water as the city''s wastewater and since it is used for such purposes, most of the tap water found there is contaminated with heavy metals. This is a serious problem because these metals are known to cause cancer. They are even linked to high cholesterol levels and other health problems.
