Getting a drink of water has become much more complex than it used to be. There is an ongoing debate on whether tap water or bottled water is better for us. Tap water is readily available in our country and is generally safe but does carry a higher risk of contamination from an outside sources getting into the system. Bottled water costs much more and has a far greater environmental impact from the process of delivering it. Its main advantage is it gives a choice of taste and flavour.

Is there a place where you preferred the water you drank to what is available now? King David grew nostalgic for the water he used to drink at home, and it led to one of the most remarkable stories told in the Bible. But why was it included? Surely a drink of water is not that important, is it?
