20% Manganese in water?! It's usually in the friggin' ppb range, this stuff is VERY insoluable, how'd that level of concentration even get IN THE WATER? No wonder there's developmental issues. In American the non-cancerous hazard index for this is 0.88 ppm, or 0.00000088 parts manganese to one part water. In other words, 0.000088%.

Below current Canadian guidelines? o.0

The point about correlation and causation brought up in the comments is well taken, but both measures ARE out of normal range, both do correlate, and other factors were found to not have statistically significant difference. That high of concentration IS TOXIC according to the US Oakridge tables, and so you are absolutely GOING to see negative health effects. It really is the Manganese in this case.

(Similarly, they've found fluoride in the braincells of children with low tested IQ in high fluoridated areas, so there's something going on there as well)

Well, since you have the scientific background to properly appreciate the data, Byte...

Check out the groundwater quality and contamination reports for the twin towns of Aurora/Littleton, Colorado and add in the additional enviro factors of their sewage/drainage issues, wastewater treatment plant and various severe EPA release violations for local businesses, 1998-2000.

And then cross-compare with the 500% spike in violent, destructive behavior both prior to, and in the wake of, the massacre at Columbine High School.

I would not normally have noticed it, but the spike reminded me of a Readers Digest story about a town in north Texas which all kind of went insane at the same time, a real mass hysteria kind of implosion, and it was found decades later to have been related to groundwater contamination with mercury.

Did you know that Littleton, small as it is, has a special collection unit for household devices that may contain such, or other contaminants, and has been hiding a groundwater contamination problem for quite a while, since the solar cell plant is known to produce the crap as a byproduct and it tends to get loose on em on a regular basis ?
They donated a cell-powered streetlight as a bribe to keep city officials from doin anything about it, mind you.

Not that I think it is directly related, but it may have been a contributing factor, since one of the first detectable signs is a lack of behavioral control, and that spike started prior to the shootings.
