Puerto Williams - American and Chilean scientists examined the chemical properties of freshwater in rivers and lagoons in the Puerto Williams area (Chilean Patagonia) and concluded that this region has "the purest water on the planet.”
Researchers from the University of North Texas (UNT), the University of Magallanes and the Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity of the University of Chile, studied the quality of freshwater of several natural waterways and lagoons near Puerto Williams, a town located in the Chilean Patagonia, near the tip of South America.
Water samples were collected from the Ukika River, Bronzes River, Bass River and Laguna Los Guanacos, among other sources of fresh water. The analysis of the samples carried out with high-resolution laboratory equipment led to the conclusion that fresh waters of this area are the purest in the world.
"Our results confirm that these waters are clean, the cleanest waters existing on the planet. In fact, the instruments we use to study the samples can detect chemical compounds in the water up to two parts per million, and here, we did not detect anything,"
said Dr. Guido F. Verbeck, the principal investigator and director of the UNT Laboratory of Imaging Mass Spectrometry (UNT-LIMS).
