Extractions: TMDLs Outdoor enthusiasts have long enjoyed the recreational opportunities provided at the Salton Sea, including boating, fishing, and camping. Hundreds of species of birds have depended on this oasis in the California desert as an important wetlands habitat, as one stop on their journey along the Pacific Flyway. The agricultural community has benefited from the Seas existence as well, relying on the Sea as a reservoir for agricultural drainage. At present, certain environmental issues have to be addressed in order for the Salton Sea to continue serving the outdoor enthusiasts, the hundreds of species of birds, and the agricultural community. A major issue being addressed in the restoration project of the Sea is water quality. Because of its use as an agricultural sump, concerns have been raised as to the presence of harmful elements in the water, elements such as toxics, trace metals, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Results from scientific study, however, show that these and other chemicals used in agriculture have not been detected at levels that are above established safety standards.

Extractions: Select a sub-topic: Review of National Monitoring Programs Irrigation and Water Quality Water Pollution Reduction In order to protect and restore the quality of surface waters (fresh/marine/estuarine) and groundwater, its quality must first be meaningfully assessed. In the United States, this is a concern from the federal and state government level down to volunteer-based watershed protection nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Access to plentiful sources of high quality water is a necessity for a myriad of direct and indirect uses, ranging from drinking water supply and sanitation , production of fish and other water-based sources of food, aquatic life and habitat support, contact recreation such as swimming and boating, and various aesthetic uses including ecotourism. The National Research Councils' (NRC) Water Science and Technology Board (WSTB) has studied issues related to water quality in the natural environment and has published reports that generally fall into the categories of reviews of water quality agreements and monitoring programs, irrigation and water quality, and water pollution reduction.

Georgia's Environment Decades of Change Prepared in consideration of EPD's 30th anniversary, "Georgia's Environment: Decades of Change" summarizes factors that have affected Georgia's environment and influenced EPD's growth and development during the last three decades, as well as current environmental issues and challenges. It also includes a series of tables that present a retrospective overview of changes to Georgia's environment; and the laws, regulations and programs designed to protect it. [Revised May 2002] Georgia's Environment This report presents a snapshot of the health of Georgia's environment and the programs designed to protect it. "Georgia's Environment" also provides references for additional information and summaries of some of the environmental outreach, education, and partnership programs in which EPD is involved. Georgia's Clean Air Force In Georgia, mobile sources, like cars and light trucks, are one of the top contributors to our ozone problem. Metro Atlanta's emission testing program is the result of the Federal Clean Air Act, which was enacted by the U.S. Congress and supported by the Georgia General Assembly. Many other cities around the country are enacting similar programs, as a result of the same legislation. The goal of the program is simple: identify the vehicles that are the heavy polluters, and have them fixed. So there can be a cleaner, healthier environment for you, your children and their children.

Extractions: Water sustains life, supports commerce and agriculture and provides recreation and enjoyment. We depend on surface and ground water for our drinking water. Indiana's beaches, rivers and lakes are popular destinations for recreation. Industry and commerce rely on Indiana's plentiful water supply to make steel, electricity and many other products. Every time it rains or snow melts, water carries pollutants from the air and land into surface and ground water. Some pollutants break down in the environment, but others persist and accumulate in fish, shellfish and other aquatic organisms or become trapped in river and lake sediments for many years. Water pollution sources are classified as point or nonpoint sources. Point sources of pollution have a known discharge point, such as a pipe or sewer. Here are some examples of typical point sources: municipal sewage treatment; combined sewer overflows; industrial wastewater; and electrical power plants. Nonpoint source pollution refers to water pollution in runoff. Soil erosion, agriculture, urban runoff, land development and air pollution deposits are some of the sources of polluted runoff. Nonpoint pollution sources are often challenging to identify, measure and control. Here are some examples of typical nonpoint sources: agricultural activities; urban storm water run-off; resource extraction; construction activities; and land disposal (landfills and land application of sewage sludge).

Extractions: Samuel Coleridge More than 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water. When the Apollo space missions beamed back pictures of the Earth, public attention was caught by the image of a "Blue Planet," because of the vast expanses of ocean covering the globe. Yet despite this seemingly inexhaustible supply (approximately 370 billion billion gallons) of water on earth, access to clean drinking water remains a major challenge for a large percentage of the world's population. Almost 97 percent of the Earth's water is in the oceans. Less than 1 percent of the water on the earth is fresh water (the remaining two to three percent is contained in glaciers and ice caps). Water is indispensable for life, not only for drinking water, but also for raising crops for food. Fishing provides a major source of protein for much of the world's population. Throughout history, cities and villages have grown up near sources of water, for drinking, sustenance, and transportation. In this century, population growth has increased in areas where fresh water is relatively scarce. Water in these areas is a valuable commodity and, in some cases, great technological feats have been undertaken to provide a reliable source of water. In some areas, water quality is a serious concern.
