well the heaviest affected wont be the cities that dot the river, they have decent water treatment plants. those affected are rural and poor communities. so mostly conservatives and ppl too focused on survival to care abt politics (the ppl the tweet author dehumanizes for not liking his team)
yeah, water treatment is pretty expensive. and to remove the organic compounds you would need membrane filtration, and basic water treatment is mostly for removing sediment and killing microorganisms. and some unincorporated communities and poor, rural towns cant afford the basic systems let alone the $million+ investment of reverse osmosis systems. thats why so many ppl in amerika still use a well
Technically the watershed doesn't really matter. That's just the high elevation hill streams that flows downards into the Ohio river.
What matters is the Ohio river itself, which is the source of drinking water for 5 million people

Do cities really have much that much better water treatment than other places?
