That's why our water is so soft. Most of it is rainwater and snowmelt. The reservoirs are mostly up in the mountains which are 100% granite. Limestone is why the water in Florida is so high in bicarb. Florida is a big ancient reef made almost entirely out of limestone. Groundwater is slightly acidic, which dissolves the limestone easily.

if we ever go into a more serious ice age, Fl will probably collapse in on itself due to the water table drop.
