Town's water supply endangered, Funk, Nebraska

Mothers hold up their babies on the main street of Funk, Nebraska. All these babies, aged about three months, in the tiny town of Funk (Pop. 218) had to get bottled water since the town water was so polluted with nitrates from nitrogen fertilization of corn that they would otherwise get Blue Baby Syndrome. Funk, and about 30 other towns across Nebraska, had to supply bottled water to any families with infants under six months as long as the towns drinking water exceeds 10 PPM of nitrates.
