Everybody needs fresh water. Without water people, animals and plants cannot live. Although a few plants and animals can make do with saltwater, all humans need a constant supply of fresh water if they are to stay fit and healthy. Of the total supply of water on the Earth, only about 3 percent of it is fresh, and most of that is stored as ice and snow at the poles, or is so deep under the surface of the Earth that we cannot get to it. Despite so much of the water being out of reach, we still have a million cubic miles of it that we can use. That's about 4,300,000 cubic kilometers of fresh water to share out between most of the plants, animals and people on the planet. Whether water is clean enough to use, or too polluted depends on many things such as where it is, whether there is enough for everyone to use, what we do with it, and how we deal with the water we have used before we let it run back to join the rivers and lakes. The Developing World In the developing world the biggest problem is the shortage of water and the lack of clean supplies. When water is very scarce people have to make good use of it. That might mean using the same source of water for drinking and cooking, a place to wash, a place to clean clothing, pots and pans and a place to let the farm animals drink as well. The same water is used by many people for many different purposes, and each time the water becomes a little more polluted.

The Living’s River Glow began as a flash research project— Soo-in Yang and David Benjamin gave themselves a $1,000 budget and three-month timeline to develop a fully functional prototype. But attention quickly followed when it was named a runner-up in Metropolis’s 2006 Next Generation Design Competition . The light system monitors environmental conditions and is able to measure water quality using a network of easily installable, non-mechanical pods connected to sensors that glow red when the water quality is poor and green with the water quality is good. Since the water quality can be monitored from the water’s surface, people will be able see the quality of the water first hand and know when the water is safe for swimming, fishing or other activities. “We used floating strips of thin film photovoltaics connected in series to power a rechargeable AA battery. We then re-wired a low-cost pH sensor to detect changes in water quality and trigger an LED connected to uncoated fiber optic strands. The result is an ethereal cloud of light hovering above the water’s surface that changes colors according to the condition of the water below.”

Storm drains and ditches are DIFFERENT than sewers. They are NOT CONNECTED to a treatment plant. Water Pollution Fact #2: We all live in a watershed. What you do on your property does affect streams, even if you don’t live on a stream. A watershed is an area of land which drains to the lowest point, usually a stream or bay. Water Pollution Fact #3: Small amounts of contaminants from all over the land add up to cause pollution in our water. Yes, even the little things matter. You WILL make a difference, no matter how small, if you change the way you do some things. Follow the suggestions in this Fact Sheet to minimize your impact on our water. Water Pollution Fact #4: Failing septic systems pollute. Untreated wastewater from failing septic systems can contaminate nearby streams, drinking water sources, and bays. Inspect your septic system every 3-5 years.

Even the groundwater quality in many parts of the country has become suspicious. Agricultural, urban and industrial wastes pose a never-ending threat to groundwater.

Home Search Swarms Of Tiny Robots To Monitor Water Pollution The University of Southern California School of Engineering has received a $1.5 million research grant from the National Science Foundation to create swarms of microscopic robots to monitor potentially dangerous microorganisms in the ocean. "With increasing urban runoff, sewage spills and blooms of harmful algae off heavily populated coastal areas, it is very important to be able to sense, and then identify, particular ocean microorganisms quickly," said Ari Requicha, a USC professor of computer science and the project's principal investigator. "The quicker we learn that a pathogen is present in the water, the sooner we can warn people and begin action to correct the situation." The project spans the fields of nanotechnology, robotics, computer science and marine biology, but is centered on the development of the ultra-small robotic sensors and software systems to control them. Requicha directs the USC School of Engineering's Laboratory for Molecular Robotics where his team has been experimenting with nanometer-scale structures for nearly seven years. (One nanometer is one/one-billionth of a meter. A nanometer is to a meter what a small grape is to the entire Earth.)

Ollie Saves the Planet THE WATER CYCLE Did you know that the water you drank this morning might have been the same water a dinosaur drank millions of years ago? Or it may have been the same water that supported Columbus' ships on the sea. There is the same amount of water on Earth today as there has always been. The water keeps moving around in an endless cycle called the water cycle Water itself is the only substance that exists in liquid, gas and solid form - the keys to the water cycle. Here's how the cycle works: Water evaporates from oceans, rivers and lakes (water in its liquid form) and rises into the atmosphere (water in its gas form) where it condenses to form clouds. Precipitation then falls to the earth in the form of rain (water in its liquid) or snow (water in its solid form) where it flows into oceans, rivers and lakes and the process begins again. top THE EARTH'S WATER SUPPLY Of all the water on Earth, only a small amount is available for us to use. It's true!

This is called Non-Point Source pollution. This polluted water ends up in streams, lakes and the ocean by flowing directly in or by going through untreated storm drains. Water also carries pollutants into underground drinking water as it soaks into the ground. 40% of all lakes and streams are too polluted to use for fishing or swimming in the United States.

Brown Nathan L. Watermeier Ohio citizens have shown increased concern about the wise use and protection of the state's water resources. This concern grows as Ohio citizens are increasingly affected by state regulations and water protection measures brought about by the federal Clean Water Act of 1987 and its subsequent reauthorizations (see Clean Water Act insert). As with most legislation, regulations and protection measures for water are complex, and the terminology may not be readily understandable to most readers. The purpose of this publication is to help the reader gain a better understanding of the terminology associated with nonpoint source (NPS) pollution and the protection of water resources. The list of terms described here is not comprehensive, but includes terms often used in the context of water-related, nonpoint source pollution in Ohio. This publication is intended for those who at least have a general understanding of water quality. What is Nonpoint Source Pollution?

POLLUTION LOCATOR Public opinion polls consistently document that Americans value water quality. Although U.S. waterways have become cleaner because of pollution controls on industrial discharges and sewage treatment plants, extensive water quality problems remain. The Clean Water Act requires surface water quality to be high enough to support fish and wildlife populations, protect drinking water sources, and allow for human recreation. Nationwide, 36% of rivers and streams, 39% of lakes and reservoirs, and 38% of estuaries are not supporting at least one of these uses. Many more waterways are either threatened by degradation, or lack the data required to assess their condition. See Scorecard's overview of water issues.
