Many questions have been asked as to whether or not you can drink tap water from Mosul Hilbert Iraq? This is a question that has been raised since the city was taken over by IS. It''s one of many that are still unanswered.
Well, the answer to that question depends on what you mean by "drinking" water. For instance, we know that the water supply has been cut off for about a month. When it is available to the people of Mosul it''s not good enough for drinking. If there were to be a shortage of water then the question would be how do you go about drinking it?
It would seem likely that you would have to get it through purification systems, as well as through water trucks that were bringing in bottled water. You might also be able to get water from the army''s water trucks. The problem is that the water is so contaminated and dangerous that you cannot drink it unless you have purification systems in place.
So where can you get this water? Wel
