Extractions: Clean and abundant water is something we take for granted in America, even as we persist in polluting waterways with yard-care pesticides, agricultural wastes and other contaminants. But new studies showing that young children, whose bodies are still developing, face the greatest risk from these pollutants ought to make us reconsider how we treat our most essential natural resource. As spring approaches, keep in mind that the chemicals that seem to make life easier can present problems to your family's health and that of the environment. Lawn Care Without Borders Pesticides and herbicides must be handled cautiously, yet homeowners often fail to read directions, neglect to wear protective clothing, track chemicals into the home and allow kids and pets to play on freshly treated grass. "People assume that because they see a product in the store, it is perfectly safe," says Jane Nogaki, pesticide program coordinator for the New Jersey Environmental Federation, "and that simply is not the case."

Extractions: Overview. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, popularly known as the Clean Water Act, is a comprehensive statute aimed at restoring and maintaining the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the nation's waters. Enacted originally in 1948, the Act was amended numerous times until it was reorganized and expanded in 1972. It continues to be amended almost every year. Even prior to the enactment of the 1972 version of the Act, the Act authorized the Public Health Service to prepare comprehensive programs for eliminating or reducing the pollution of interstate waters and tributaries and improving the sanitary condition of surface and underground waters. Due regard was to be given to improvements necessary to conserve waters for public water supplies, propagation of fish and aquatic life, recreational purposes, and agricultural and industrial uses. A number of other provisions found in the current Act were adopted prior to 1972. Primary authority for the implementation and enforcement of the Clean Water Act now rests with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition to the measures authorized before 1972, the Act authorizes water quality programs, requires federal effluent limitations and state water quality standards, requires permits for the discharge of pollutants into navigable waters, provides enforcement mechanisms, and authorizes funding for wastewater treatment works construction grants and state revolving loan programs, as well as funding to states and tribes for their water quality programs. Provisions have also been added to address water quality problems in specific regions and specific waterways.

http://www.geography-site.co.uk/pages/environ/water.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: June 12, 2007 by Tylene Levesque energy meter, or , and this project, architects ingenious WaterGlow project does just that - making us aware of environmental problems in a beautiful way. The Livingâs River Glow began as a flash research projectâ 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 Metropolisâs 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 waterâs 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. âWe 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 waterâs surface that changes colors according to the condition of the water below.â

Extractions: 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 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.

Extractions: 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.)

What Is Water Pollution?
Indirect (or Nonpoint Source) pollution sources include contaminants that enter the water supply from soils and groundwater systems and from the atmosphere
http://www.passaiccountynj.org/departments/naturalresources/Water_WhatIsWaterPol

Extractions: Passaic County Board of Chosen Freeholders Updated: 3/24/01 There are many causes for water pollution, but there are two (2) general categories: Direct and Indirect (or Non-point Source) pollution sources. Direct sources include fluid releases from factories, refineries, waste treatment plants and so forth, that emit pollutants directly into urban water supplies. In the United States and other countries, these practices are regulated, although this doesn't mean that pollutants can't be found in these waters. Indirect (or Non-point Source) pollution sources include contaminants that enter the water supply from soils and groundwater systems and from the atmosphere through rain water. Soils and groundwater contain the residue of agricultural practices (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) as well as improperly disposed of industrial wastes. Atmospheric contaminants are also derived from human practices, such as gaseous emissions from automobiles and factories.

So, when it comes to water pollution facts, who's all wet and who's got it right? This article is the first of a multi-part series that will splash around in the deep end of the water pollution issue. Before we dive into our pool of water pollution facts, it will be helpful to do a quick review of the different types of water in general: Ocean Water: The vast majority of water on the planet is the salt water in the oceans and seas. Fresh Surface Water: This is the fresh water in rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and similar bodies of water. (Almost all of these contain fresh water, though a few lakes contain salty water.) Technically, the world's ice caps and glaciers also fall into this category , and actually contain very, very large amounts of fresh water. Groundwater: The majority of the planet's liquid freshwater is stored in underground aquifers. It's important to remember that groundwater pollution is very difficult to treat, and it doesn't just "flush out" on its own. Water that enters an aquifer remains there for an average of 1,400 years!
