Hidden Paradise — ADB Water Voices Documentary Series (1/3)

[communitywork]

Sampled water from 30% of groundwater wells from the Philippines have nitrate levels above the World Health Organisation's safety limit. Contamination is greatest in areas that used large quantities of nitrogen fertilisers. Communities think that the water they drink every day is clean because physically, it doesn't smell bad or look bad. But it is actually laced with nitrates from fertilisers which people don't normally associate with pollution.
