All Water Documents Facts about Pollution from Livestock Farms Giant livestock farms, which can house hundreds of thousands of pigs, chickens, or cows, produce vast amounts of waste often generating the waste equivalent of a small city. While a problem of this nature and scale sounds almost comical, pollution from livestock farms seriously threatens humans, fish and ecosystems. Below are facts and statistics that tell the story.

Extractions: Water is our most important resource (making up roughly 70% our bodies), yet we're destroying it through our pollution. Fresh water comprises of only 3% of all water on Earth. 2/3 of it are frozen, and aside from 0.3% of it being on the surface, the rest of it is underground. For example: Over 360 toxic chemicals have been identified in the Great Lakes, the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth, as well as 43 toxic "hot spots," where areas are particularly poisonous.

http://www.mbgnet.net/fresh/pollute.htm

Extractions: Introduction Farming Business Homes W ater pollution occurs when a body of water is adversely affected due to the addition of large amounts of materials to the water. The sources of water pollution are categorized as being a point source or a non-source point of pollution. Point sources of pollution occur when the polluting substance is emitted directly into the waterway. A pipe spewing toxic chemicals directly into a river is an example. A non-point source occurs when there is runoff of pollutants into a waterway, for instance when fertilizer from a field is carried into a stream by surface runoff. Toxic Substance A toxic substance is a chemical pollutant that is not a naturally occurring substance in aquatic ecosystems. The greatest contributors to toxic pollution are herbicides, pesticides and industrial compounds. Organic Substance Organic pollution occurs when an excess of organic matter, such as manure or sewage, enters the water. When organic matter increases in a pond, the number of decomposers will increase. These decomposers grow rapidly and use a great deal of oxygen during their growth. This leads to a depletion of oxygen as the decomposition process occurs. A lack of oxygen can kill aquatic organisms. As the aquatic organisms die, they are broken down by decomposers which leads to further depletion of the oxygen levels. A type of organic pollution can occur when inorganic pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphates accumulate in aquatic ecosystems. High levels of these nutrients cause an overgrowth of plants and algae. As the plants and algae die, they become organic material in the water. The enormous decay of this plant matter, in turn, lowers the oxygen level. The process of rapid plant growth followed by increased activity by decomposers and a depletion of the oxygen level is called

Feed Letter to Membership 9-27-2010 About Us Founded in 1961, the Association of State and Interstate Water Pollution Control Administrators (ASIWPCA) is a national, nonpartisan professional organization. ASIWPCA members are the State, Interstate and Territorial officials who are responsible for the implementation of surface water protection programs throughout the nation. In addition to serving as a liaison among these officials, ASIWPCA facilitates their communication with the Federal government and promotes public education. Long before the enactment of the Clean Water Act, State and Interstate professionals were working to protect and improve water quality. They continue to lead the way in creating and realizing a vision for clean water in America.

Extractions: var base_url = "http://www.lotsofessays.com/"; Water, Water, Everywhere And Not A Drop To Drink With each passing year, water pollution increases. This increase in pollution continues to be responsible for killing plant and animal life as well as polluting rivers, beaches and other water-ways. This pollution represents potentially harmful effects on human health and the environment. The pollution is typically generated by industry, waste treatment facilities, illegal dumping and other sources of water pollution such as the effluent from pig farming . The pollution from pig farming in Maryland led to the discovery of pfiesteria, a toxic virus that has affected plant and fish species along Maryland water-ways. Pollution is responsible for the disruption of the ecosystem, diseases in plants and animals, and deforestation. Water pollution has been responsible for severe damages in many areas. Both wildlife and humans are affected by the inability to find healthy food and water in areas inundated with pollution. Large and potentially catastrophic environmental impact is possible from water pollution, such as the way oil spilled into w
Natural Landscapes Project: Outreach On Organic Gardening And Natural Lawn Care

Extractions: We are a nonprofit organization striving to protect human health, water quality and the environment by providing educational outreach to our community. We teach people about the hazards of using chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides while also promoting organic gardening methods and natural lawn care. Pesticides have been found in drinking water wells not only in agricultural communities but also in residential communities. Lawn and garden products in streams can kill fish directly or cause impaired migratory behavior, reproductive harm and deformities. Detergents from car washing, oil and anti-freeze from motors, as well as pet and livestock waste all create polluted runoff from your driveway or yard.

Extractions: Ames WPC Receives the NACWA's Platinum-20 Peak Performance Award again in 2010! WHAT WE DO From your toilets and sinks to the sewers and streams we ensure Ames has quality water. The water you drink goes through many processes before it lands in your cup. The process starts by collecting water from Squaw and Skunk River Valley shallow groundwater aquifers (or underground layers of water) and treating the water, making it potable (drinkable). Once treated the water is distributed throughout the city into homes and businesses. The cycle is then completed when water from your showers, sinks and toilets enters the sewer system travels to the wastewater facility where it is treated before returning to the lakes and streams, creating a healthy environment.
