We’ve all known for years that agricultural chemicals, when they run-off into water systems, can result in pollution—either in river or lakes or in ground water. A lot of time and effort has been put into this issue over the last several decades, and improvements have been made.
Yet these improvements vary across cities, counties and regions, with some communities seeing more positive results than others.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has developed a Web site that monitors water quality and related issues in all 50 states.
Consumers can visit the site and look at their own state and region to determine various water quality issues. For example, if you’re concerned about ground water, you can learn about the various ground water quality issues affecting your region and state. The same goes for numerous other water quality issues, such as, surface water and general water quality.
Jeremy Nelson, marketing manager for WaterFilters.NET, said, “The USGS has a great Web site that allows consumers to become more informed about water quality issues around the country. It’s an informative site where consumers can learn more about specific water conditions that affect them.”
Even while the USGS monitors water quality issues around the country, it’s important for consumers not only to become informed about these issues that can affect health and wellbeing, but to also become proactive in protecting your family from the dangers of chemicals and other pollutants present in water.
