Eldorado Water Blog

Knowing where your food, water, and clothes come from can be both an enlightening and an empowering realization. In a time where brands and products make claims to certain authenticities, ethics, or health benefits, wouldn't it be nice to be able to just show up at the farm and see if those free-range chickens are really ranging free?

Recently, one writer set out on a journey to discover the water sources used by top-brand bottled water companies—and his quest and passion is something that we at Eldorado Natural Spring Water really respect.

Bottled water has become king in the United States. Consumers are trading in their cases of cola for cases of bottled water. In 1983, when Eldorado Natural Spring Water was founded, purchasing bottled water was a bit of a novelty. Fast-forward to 2018, and we have gone from novelty to ubiquity. Eldorado has been a visionary company for seeing trends well into the future. And in all modesty, seeing the bottled water market explode in the twenty-first century has been fulfilling for us. The cycle of water has come full circle.

Canines need water in order to survive and thrive, just like humans need water. Proper hydration is critical—but do you know how to tell if your dog is dehydrated? Let's look at some signs of dehydration in dogs. 

Cape Town, South Africa is currently realizing a natural resource nightmare. Something many people around the world cannot fathom happening. This city of four million people is close to running completely out of water. June 4 is what city officials are calling “Day Zero” when city taps will run dry. An unprecedented “natural disaster” that has been created by a two-year drought and population growth.

Heat, heat, and more heat. In the cockpit of a machine that reaches speeds of up to 200 mph, my "office” tends to resemble the Arizona desert in summer rather than a climate-controlled suburban office building.

If you have been following us for awhile then you know how much water you need to be drinking, and we know that you do drink that much, right? But did you know that your pet’s hydration is just as important as yours! Knowing how much water your pooch needs is essential in giving him the best life.

Unless you are from either Leadville, Colorado or Northern Chile, you may not know what molybdenum is. It's probably a word you are not only unfamiliar with, but also don't care about! However, if you are part of the mining industry, you definitely know what molybdenum is, and if you are in the municipal water treatment world, you also have some knowledge on this particular chemical element. Mining and water treatment are quite different occupations, but they do interconnect quite often for obvious reasons. This is a water-related blog, so you might be asking yourself, Why in the world should I care about an element in the world of mining?

 Ever wonder what it's like to train for the big fight? We all grew up watching Rocky—Sly Stallone rocking the evil Russian Ivan Drago! Well, maybe we didn't all grow up on Rocky, but a few of you probably remember Mike Tyson eating ears. But these days, mixed martial arts (MMA) is all the rage and, for many, it has replaced boxing as the sport of choice. We asked our resident ambassador professional MMA fighter, Phil Gonzalez, to take us through an average training week and how he uses water for optimum performance.  Take it away Phil …

In recent years, there has been a bit of backlash against the massive all-you-can-buy, American-conglomerate, big-box superstores. Places where you can literally buy a fifty-pound bag of tater tots and stock up on nine hundred rolls of toilet paper. Very low prices, huge quantities, and (generally speaking) mediocre-quality merchandise are all the norm.
