thrist for water info
Does anyone know of a good site or information resource for water information of a given area. Basically, I'm talking about what's in the water, viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc.

I don't know of a single source, unless you're looking for general information.

For a specific "given" area, let us know what area you're looking for.

If you're reasonably careful about where you tkae water from then you should be clear of viruses in North America and most of Europe.

I am more concerned with little nasties that MIOX can't kill. I read on the National Forest Isle Royle in MI that MIOX can't kill a particular parasitic worm's egg (can't recall the name of the worm) but I am hiking in Northern Michigan this weekend and I hoping to find out info about water in rivers and streams of that area, preferrably around the Gaylord, East Jordan area.

As long as Pennsy isn't around the streams you will be drinking out of, you should be fine.
