The number of Manitobans displaced by this years Flood is on the rise, as are the Flood waters in Manitoba. Any person with Private Land that has had their drinking Wells flooded can vist any World of Water location in Manitoba for a FREE Water Testing bottle, along with the forms.

Shock Chlorination is the process by which wells are sanitized with chlorine. Shocking Chlorination is the most widely recommended means of treating bacterial contamination in home water systems such as wells, springs and cisterns.

As Manitoba prepares itself for yet another Spring Flood, it is crucial that we are fully prepared incase of an emergency. Having an ample supply of clean water is a top priority in an emergency. A normally active person needs to drink at least ½ a gallon of water each day. People in hot environments, children, nursing mothers and ill people will require even more.

This is a first for World of Water, we have sponsored many different events over the last 35 years but this is the first time ever that we have sponsored a Move'n Groove- a-Thon. The Move'n Groove-a-Thon is taking place on April 9th, 2011 at the Red River Exhibition Park, from 12 noon to 12 midnight. The goal is to raise $100,000 to increase the awareness of education programs for The Movement Centre of Manitoba by dancing to current chart hits, rock, oldies, celtic, hip hop and more. Free dance lessons will also be offered throughout the day. There will be Water Coolers and bottles throughout the dance floor donated by World of Water that will keep the participants hydrated to dance all day...and all night!

Manitoba will invest $22 million in equipment and technology to improve flood-fighting capacity and preparedness as it faces the potential for widespread spring flooding, Premier Greg Selinger announced.
About $21 million of the funding will go towards acquiring resources and equipment as required to further support the level of provincial flood fighting and preparedness including:

World of Water has been a very proud sponsor of the Manitoba Marathon over the past 6 years; we have also had the privilege to volunteer during 'race day' at different stations throughout the Marathon. The Manitoba Marathon is supported each year by thousands of AMAZING volunteers. These special people are the backbone of this incredible event and their commitment and dedication is what makes this such a community driven event.

When on a high protein diet

People on a high protein diet require more water than a regular eater, as the water will flush out things like uric acid, caused by the extra protein. Another risk of high protein diets that can be combated with water is that, if you're not eating carbohydrates, your body breaks down fat cells and then produces a buildup of toxic chemical compounds, called ketones in your blood. When there are too many ketones in your blood, your body eliminates them in your urine. Eliminate too many ketones, and you also eliminate too much water. Without replacing it, you can suffer severe dehydration and the risk of abnormal heart rhythms

Water is a natural appetite suppressant. Do NOT underestimate the power of this statement. Lack of water can lead to over eating. You brain does not differentiate between hunger and thirst. So, when you think you are feeling hungry, your body may in fact be signaling to you that you are thirsty! If you are not consuming enough water each day and you feel hunger pains, chances are, your body really is crying out for water. In many instances people will find what they thought were hunger pangs were in fact, satisfied by water. Try it! You have nothing to lose, except some weight.

More than 1,760 neighbourhoods and communities across Canada are currently being told to boil their drinking water, the Canadian Medical Association Journal reports.
"That's the minimum. There's probably more than that," said Steve Hrudey, a public health engineer who also served on the research advisory panel into contaminated water crisis in Walkerton, Ont. Seven people died and at least 2300 people became ill due to an outbreak of E. coli in the Walkerton water supply in May, 2000. While boil-water advisories are supposed to be used as a "precautionary measure," Hrudey said it is obvious the advisories are being used in place of treatment. "A lot of those advisories have been in place for months and in some cases years. So clearly in those kinds of situations, the boil water advisory is being used as an alternative to treatment, which is just not acceptable," he said.  A spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care also told the CMAJ that public health units in Ontario, for example, do not always report all their advisories to the Ministry, nor do they always report when an advisory has been lifted.
"We've got a situation in Canada . . .

By their very nature, the pipes a plumber might work on in your house tend to be made of lead.
After all, the Latin word for lead is plumbum.
For so many post-war suburban homes, pipes that carry water indoors contain this poisonous metal.
Lead systems also funnel drinking water into most Victorian-era homes, common in cities and towns across Canada, like Ottawa and Montreal. The City of Ottawa estimates about 28,000 homes built before 1955 have lead pipes. But pipes in newer subdivisions aren't made with lead. And some homes that have had construction done nearby may have had safer copper replacements installed by the city. This week, the Province of Ontario ordered 36 municipalities to undergo testing after higher-than-normal levels were found in water in homes in London. Preliminary water tests at Queen's Park also came back abnormal. Seven of 20 tested sources of tap water at the Ontario legislature were found to have higher-than-allowable levels of lead.

'It's dangerous to anyone'
According to many experts, ......

Our bodies are composed of over 70% water it's only natural that you'd want only the Purest Water Possible to quench your thirst and replenish your body, head to toe.

For many of us though, the breakneck pace of everyday life can leave precious little time for regular water breaks. What to do? Try making a New Year's resolution that's easy to keep. Add Distilled Water to your day using these 5 Tips and you'll find a healthier lifesytle just comes naturally!

Today more than ever, people are bombarded with information, and misinformation, about many consumer products. The digital age of information gathering allows anyone, at any time, to read millions of opinions on countless products that are posted on websites from around the world. The sheer quantity of information that one can gather is mind boggling, and it is easy to become confused by the contradictory views from one "expert" to the next. While it can be difficult to determine who the actual experts are, as almost anyone can appear to be an authority by sending their opinions out to the masses with the use of today's technology, it is often much easier to verify the facts of what the individual is saying. Therefore, before accepting information on which to base one's opinion of a particular product, it is important to look at the facts and not be misled by false claims and misinformation intended to detract from what really matters about a product.

Winter is almost here, bringing to an end the cottage season for most Manitobans and Ontarians. For many people, this is the time of year to close down and begin the task of winterizing the cottage. Whether you completely shut down your cottage for the entire winter or make the occasional trip during the winter months to check on the condition of your summer lodge, there are a number of things you should keep in mind. 

When you suffer from dehydration symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, learning how to cleanse and re-hydrate your body will improve your physical energy as well as reduce brain fog, headaches, skin problems, joint and muscle pain, poor digestion and cravings.

When dehydrated, our internal cleansing system becomes congested and stagnates like dirty dish water. It's amazing how much importance we place on cleaning the outside of our body, and how little importance we place on cleaning the inside!

Ed Gallos, President of Winnipeg based Master Roofing, believes in giving back to the community and his company is setting an excellent example for other businesses to follow.

In 2010 Master Roofing is again supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's (JDRF) Ride for Diabetes Research which takes place on November 5th, 2010. The generous donation of 1200 bottles of their private labeled, 500 ml. water, bottled by World of Water, is the perfect contribution to the day. Riders in the event sincerely appreciate Master Roofing's donation as they need to stay hydrated during the event which sees the 5 man teams alternately ride stationary bikes in a friendly competition to see who can clock the most kilometers, show the most spirit, and raise the most money.

It is hard to believe that another summer has come to an end and that we are fast approaching the holiday season. Although water is a vital part of a healthy routine 365 days a year, it is especially importnat around the holidays.

Here are a few reasons why your body might actually need more water during the holiday season.

The annual Purina Walk for Dog Guides will take place this Sunday, September 26th, 2010 at Birds Hill Provincial Park. The event is expected to raise over $30,000 with proceeds going to Guide Dogs Canada to train guide dogs that are used by Canadians with disabilities. More than 300 walkers, along with their four-legged friends, are expected to be in attendance and the weather forecast is looking favorable. So join the fun! Bring Fido out for a stroll, get some exercise and help out a worthy cause. While you're there be sure that you and your canine companion stay hydrated by drinking Dewdrop, "The Purest Water Possible", proudly supplied by event sponsor World of Water.

TORONTO – Children whose drinking water contains high concentrations of manganese appear to have lower IQ scores on average than children not exposed to the metallic element, researchers have found.

The global consumption of bottled water has increased an astounding 57% over the past 5 years to 154 billion litres in 2004 and is on the verge of becoming the number one consumed beverage in North America. But isn’t this multi-billion dollar industry supplying the same stuff we get out of the tap for free? One of the reasons for the increase in bottled water consumption is a seeming lack of confidence in many municipal water supplies. With incidents like the E.coli outbreak in Walkerton in 2000 and daily boil water advisories around the country, it is no wonder that many people have turned to bottled water for what they see as a “safe” and convenient alternative to tap water. After all, is it really feasible to treat 100% of tap water to the point that it is risk-free for drinking when less than 0.5% of tap water is used for drinking?

But is bottled water really a “safer” choice? Wise consumers focus on both water purity, which is determined by the level of (usually invisible) non-H2O substances in the water as well as water disinfection, referring to the method and effectiveness in destroying bacteria (such as E.coli), viruses and other water-borne microbial pathogens (like cryptosporidium). The most common methods of disinfection today are chlorination, ultraviolet (UV) light, boiling and ozonation.

Cryptosporidium and Giardia are two words that have come up lately in conversations with our cottage owning customers in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. These people are interested to know more about Cryptosporidium and Giardia and how to treat their lake water to ensure that they do not get sick. Infection caused by Cryptosporidium is called Cryptosporidiosis, and Giardia sickness is called Giardiasis or “Beaver Fever.” Cryptosporidium and Giardia are both water-borne parasites that infect the intestines of humans and cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, and nausea; symptoms can last 7-10 days for most people who are otherwise healthy. Both Cryptosporidium and Giardia exist as oocysts in untreated lake, stream and river water. These hard shelled oocysts protect the viruses from a wide range of environmental conditions. The best way for cottage owners to avoid contracting Cryptosporidium or Giardia that may be in their untreated water is to use a filter with an “absolute (not “nominal”) pore size of 1 micron or smaller. This will effectively remove Cryptosporidium and Giardia oocysts from water. Due to the hard shelled oocysts protecting these parasites, ultraviolet light and chlorine do not effectively treat them. Once cottage owners have an effective filtration system in place they can enjoy peace of mind knowing that Cryptosporidium and Giardia will not be an issue in their drinking water.

It is the end of an era at the World of Water at 3275 Portage Ave. as long time employee Derek Yip is
leaving to pursue a sales career with a pump supply company.
For the past 12 years Derek has been involved with both the 1925 and 3275 Portage Ave. stores and during that time he has worked his way up from a production employee and delivery driver to store manager, a position he has held for the last 6 years.
Most recently Derek has been an integral part of the success of the 3275 Portage Ave. location and he will be greatly missed by store owner Eric Huntley and staff, as well as the many customers who have formed lasting friendships with Derek during his tenure at the store.
From everyone at World of Water, a heartfelt “thank you” to Derek for all his contributions to our organization throughout the years. We wish Derek all the best, and great success in his future endeavors!

I woke up to some good news today, when I saw the headline "Green Party of Canada calls for ban on the fluoridation chemicals hexafluorosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride." It seems that, like me, the Green Party isn't happy with the fact that we indiscriminately pump fluoride into our water supply and wants it banned at the federal level. Go Green Party!

Congratulations to Adam Schinkel and family, Sales Manager for World of Water Head Office on the birth of their new son Kolton James Schinkel weighing in at 8 lbs even born on Tuesday July 13th.

With having a new born baby in the house, Adam mentioned they sure are glad they have a Hot and Cold water cooler. Using only DewDrop Distilled water to sterilize all his bottles and making his formula’s with the Hot water function, sure came in handy during some of those restless nights.

Dear World of Water Volunteers and Supporters;
I wanted to take some time to pass along to each and everyone of you our appreciation. The support of World of Water is hugely important to us as it forms an integral part of the team that makes the Manitoba Marathon work. The success, enjoyed by the Manitoba Marathon, has only been possible because of the support we receive from companies like yours - companies committed to a healthy lifestyle for all, including people living with an intellectual disability. Manitoba Marathon has grown to nearly 14,000 participants and over 2000 volunteers plus thousands of spectators - that would not have happened had we not enjoyed the support from your volunteer team and your stores. Through your support we provide clean, safe water to our participants and to our volunteers. That support is immense and is very much appreciated.

Since 1976, World of Water has been the exclusive producer of their Dewdrop brand bottled water, and during that time, the product has remained unchanged. The unmatched purity of Dewdrop water makes it perfect for carrying out essential duties in the human body, and that simply cannot be improved upon. Water is used to assist with many functions in the body including hydration, digestion, and removal of wastes, and pure water can perform these functions much better than water that contains impurities. In short, the more pure the water, the better it can serve the body.

MONDAY, Aug. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Close the diet books and skip the pills. The latest weight-loss trick may be as simple as gulping a couple of glasses of water before you eat.
A new study found that middle-aged and older adults who drank two cups of water before each meal consumed fewer calories and lost more weight than those who skipped drinking water.
Researchers divided two groups of overweight and obese men and women aged 55 to 75 into two groups: one group was told to follow a low-fat, low-calorie diet; the other group was told to follow the same diet and to drink two cups of water before breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This is a fundraising initiative with a difference. You don’t need to be rich, you just need to have a big heart to contribute. You won’t think twice about loosening your purse strings or rappelling down a multistoried building for this great cause.

As per a city press release Winnipeggers might see discolored flow of water from their taps this week. The residents of River Heights and Fort Gary may experience this problem for some time. According to city officials, the problem is caused by water main work being carried out in the city.

World of Water (W.O.W.) is proud to win the sponsorship for water supply at Manitoba Marathon for the fifth year in a row. W.O.W. has vowed to maintain the standards of marathon by supplying over 17000 litres of pure Dewdrop water to all 26 hospitality stations.

Water is indispensable for all forms of life. Experts agree that we need six to eight glasses of water per day to maintain optimum health. The daily cleansing of wastes from each cell, the flushing of the alimentary canal, and the purifying of the blood are all dependent on our drinking water.
