Hi, I'm Adam
I love water. Not in an abstract, “drink eight glasses” way — in the curious, comparative, where-did-this-come-from way. I like tasting the difference between a cold mountain spring, a mineral-heavy roadside pipe, a city fountain on a hot afternoon, and a quiet waterfall stop that makes you pause before you fill a bottle.
Traveling, hiking, and wandering through new neighborhoods, I kept noticing the same thing: people know about great water sources, but those places are scattered across memory, forums, and word of mouth. Try Water is my attempt to gather that knowledge in one place — a living map of springs, waterfalls, and everyday water finds worth sharing.
Trying water, safely
Curiosity about water should never outrun common sense. When I try different sources, I treat safety as part of the ritual: research the spot, check recent conditions, look for local advisories, and never assume clear water is clean water. Springs can change with seasons and runoff. Fountains depend on local systems. Outdoor sources deserve the same caution you would give any unverified drink.
That careful approach is built into Try Water. We celebrate discovery, but we do not pretend every listing is ready to drink. The goal is to help you find interesting water — and to remind you to verify before you sip.
A community map
Try Water is bigger than one person's notebook. It is a community directory: listings with directions and photos, tips from people who have been there, suggested edits when details drift, and editorial guides on taste, minerals, testing, and filtration.
We are always looking to add new locations. Know a spring locals quietly refill from? A waterfall with a good fill-up spot? A reliable fountain in a park or plaza? Add a listing, share a photo, leave a comment, or suggest an edit. Every accurate contribution makes the map more useful for the next traveler.
What you'll find here
- A growing catalog of springs and waterfalls you can explore on the map
- Location guides to browse springs by region
- Practical reading in the blog — taste, testing, bottled water, minerals, and filtration
Important safety note
Try Water is not a medical provider, laboratory, municipality, or water-safety authority. We do not claim that a spring, waterfall, bottle, filter, fountain, or any other water source is safe to drink unless that claim is backed by a specific source. Always check current local advisories, and have spring or outdoor water independently tested before drinking. Water quality can change with seasons and conditions.
