Environmental Issues Around the Sea Water Quality Salinity Nutrients Importance of Wildlife ... TMDLs Water Quality 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 Sea’s 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.

Technology Board Water Quality in the Natural Environment 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" also provides references for additional information and summaries of some of the environmental outreach, education, and partnership programs in which EPD is involved. Air Quality 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.

Introduction Water pollution 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).

Drinking Water Quality Data The Department of Environment in partnership with municipal governments monitors source and tap water quality of public water supplies on a regular basis. The collected data is used to ensure compliance with the " Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality " and to take appropriate measures to address emerging drinking water quality issues. The data is provided to the public on a regular basis through this web page. The data below is for all sampling carried out up to June 30, 2005. These documents are in Adobe PDF format and, if you have an older browser, may require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print. Click on the hyperlinks below to download each document for viewing and printing. Due to the large number of parameters included these documents are best printed on legal (8.5" x 14") paper in landscape orientation. Detection Limit The detection limit is the lowest concentration of a substance that can be determined with confidence. Prior to March 31, 2004 analytical results less than the detection limit were reported as half of the detection limit. After March 31, 2004 analytical results less than the detection limit are simply reported as Less Than Detection Limit (LTD) which is considered to be zero for all practical purposes. If you wish to know the detection limit of a particular parameter, please click here to see an Adobe PDF document which lists the various labs, associated parameters and detection limits that have been used during this sampling program.

Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food Water "Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink." "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," 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.
