10 Magnificent Sites Made by Water

After news broke that some marks on the surface of Mars might have been caused by water, Delta Faucet’s “Inspired Living” site examined some extraordinary spots on Earth also made possible thanks to good old H20.

“When news broke that streaks and slope lines on the surface of Mars might have been caused by water, it revitalized discussion about whether the Red Planet could also be sustaining some forms of life. It also inspired us to take a look some 37 million miles closer to home to spotlight some of the most extraordinary sights and sites on Earth … all made possible thanks to good old H20.”

This was a fun one to write for Delta Faucet’s Inspired Living microsite — and it was presented in a fantastic-looking slideshow with salt flats, waterfalls, the Grand Canyon and coral reefs.

(RIP to the Amazements category of “Inspired Living,” however; the site has since been retooled and now all the existing posts are product-focused.)
