Answers:
Bacteria!. Water, like any perishable food stuff, can grow bacteria, some of which is NOT good for you!. Mostly, water does not go "bad" for quite some time since it contains additives to prevent bacteria growth!. Bottled water may not contain additives to prevent bacteria growth and COULD pose a hazard!. Look at the label, if it says it is pasteurized, it will likely be good for many days!. The reason why people in 3rd world countries have such a problem with drinking water is the environment contaminating the water with bacteria from the natural environment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's still H20, but if you prefer not to ingest dust and dirt with your water, perhaps you could give it to your plants!. They certainly would not mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
