Eli5 How did travelers/crusaders in medieval times get a clean and consistent source of water
In: 4489
I’ll give some unusual justifications.
1.The majority of the lower population lived near lakes and rivers.
2.You will be aware of the dangers posed by washing power if you investigate the issue.
3.In the past, some areas’ water was extremely filthy.Some parts used to SHIT into water, while others didn’t and were used as fertilizer for farming.
4.The availability of tasteless or clean water was very high.Imagine a world devoid of factories and industries; additionally, there was a problem with shitting and drowning in water, so they established solid guidelines.This is how we evolved. Water that tastes bad is bad water.Good generalization.
5.We relied on taste to determine the quality of the water, and since there was no scientific method for determining quality, many people died as a result of drinking water of such “good quality.”
6.Most of the time, locals in the area knew which water source wouldn’t make you sick.Some simulations show how green our planet was between 100 and 500 years ago.Surprise, surprise!
