So let me ask you, there are certain things that are not good in water like lead, but then again, there are certain things that are good in water and sometimes what we add to the water, like fluoride in water, fluoridation. And we see some political ramifications behind that. There are some communities that are against fluoridation of water, et cetera, et cetera.

So can you guys comment a little bit on fluoride in water?

Yeah, you know, it's... What also strikes me is what I would consider to be like border issues. Like how is it that we maintain the same kind of safety in our water that they do like in Wisconsin or in Iowa? I mean, you know, the difference between a border is aligned. So how is it that we work with states across the border for safety of water?

So, you know, it's really interesting when you start reading about space exploration. And one of the first things that, when you're exploring space, is whether or not there's water available, no matter what. And there's scientific evidence investigations for water. So obviously, it's not just the liquid gold per se here, but it's also in the universe as a whole.

So let me bring up another issue that's kind of hitting all of us, and that's war. So, you know, there are two major wars that are going on in the world right now, one in Ukraine and one in Israel and in Gaza. And there's a lot of destruction. And almost the first thing that comes out of that is the need for water. One way or the other, there's a need for water.

And almost the first thing that comes out of that is the need for water. One way or the other, there's a need for water.

And when these wars stop, or they're done, and hopefully sooner than later, How is it that a war torn area can develop, frankly, relatively quickly safe water for its population? Or is that something that's got to be brought in until a new infrastructure is developed?

Yeah, yeah. So for our listening audience, this is interesting. Perhaps either one of you can reflect on this. This is from our research crew, four and a half million Minnesotans. And we're just talking Minnesota now. So you can kind of guess what it might be in your particular state, whoever is listening. 4.5 million Minnesotans consume water from 6,649 public water systems.

This is just Minnesota now, which include municipalities, resorts, daycares, restaurants, and other establishments that provide drinking water. So I mean, when you think about that, for most of us, this is kind of invisible to us, which by the way, success of public health is often invisible. It's when all of a sudden there's like a problem that becomes more visible to all of us.

Like all of a sudden the water doesn't taste good or it looks funny or what have you, or there's contaminants in it. But in Minnesota, we're in pretty good shape. Minnesota has an exceptionally high rate of compliance with the safe

Drinking Water Act, and I think Sandeep, you mentioned that, nearly 98% of public water systems and over 99% of the population they serve have drinking water that meets all federal-based standards. That's pretty good, pretty, pretty good. And it really goes to you, the professionals that monitor this and connect with one another statewide to make sure that our drinking water is safe.

So tell me, if, you know, so this is, you know, a health chatter. What do you want the public to know? I mean, if, you know, a couple one-liners from each one of you. to end our show with you, what would it be, Anna, for our listening audience?
