Think about the usual holiday plans: Dinner with family, visiting friends and perhaps watching a few bowl games. A young Ohio woman, however, has a radically different set of plans this year. Some time around New Year’s Day, Katie Spotz, a fresh-faced 22 year old, will depart Senegal to row solo across the Atlantic. Yes, you read it correctly – she will ROW across the Atlantic. Katie is undertaking this amazing endeavor to raise awareness of safe drinking water issues around the globe. She has partnered with the Blue Planet Run Foundation, a San-Francisco-based non-profit group that funds sustainable drinking water projects around the world. Her goal is to raise enough funds to bring safe drinking water to at least 1,000 people. Miss Spotz has a special rowboat, outfitted with solar panels to power her satellite radio, her laptop and, of course, her mp3 player. Her home for the next three months is also stocked with several hundred pounds of dehydrated food – enough to last about 100 days – and a reverse osmosis water to produce fresh water from sea water. In addition she’ll be carrying a few sets of spare oars and spare parts kits for the boat and the hardware on it. All of this will be propelled across 2,500 miles of open water by Katie, herself. If you’re wondering how one rows across the ocean, Katie has outlined her “typical” day – you may note that she’ll be rowing for 10-12 hours each and every day: 6:00am Wake up and eat breakfast, check weather and night progress 6:30am Row for two hours 8:30am Mid morning meal, prep water for the day 9:00am Row for two hours 11:00am Lunch #1, take position and plot chart 12:00pm Short break, powernap 12:30pm Row for two hours 2:30pm Lunch #2 3:00pm Row for two hours 5:00pm Dinner, contact land team with progress, scrub bottom of boat (when needed) 6:30pm Row for two hours 8:30pm Stop rowing, secure boat for the night, sleep Katie has been preparing for this voyage for some time, now, and as of December 20, 2009, she is in Senegal performing final preparations. She’s trained daily to keep in peak physical shape and she has worked with the boat manufacturer to anticipate and plan for every foreseeable contingency. She can rebuild and maintain all hardware on board her craft and she’ll have a medical kit on board in case she needs some mid-ocean maintenance, herself. For the sake of providing strangers with fresh drinking water, this spirited young woman will live on a 19 foot rowboat and will, most likely, not see another living human being for 3 months. If you would like to track Katie’s progress or, better yet, aid her in her cause, please visit: Row for Water. Katie will be happy to have you on board! Water treatment bid

Water Meter Bids

As readers of this blog may be aware, the State of California has been facing many challenges with respect to its freshwater management, endangered species, and agriculture.

In November, 2009, the state took a step forward to face those challenges in the form of four bills that total over $11 billion in funding directed toward the state’s river systems, lakes, and other water management projects.

The bills cover four major areas of water management. The first, Senate Bill No. 1 addresses the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta area and lays out a plan for reestablishment of the natural wetlands while preserving the state’s fresh water resources. The second bill, Senate Bill No. 6 requires that localities monitor groundwater levels to avoid pumping aquifers dry. Senate Bill No. 7 aims to bring urban and agricultural water users to the table to begin a real discussion about water conservation. Finally, Senate Bill No. 8 addresses the practice of water diversion and seeks to set up a more equitable playing field for all the state’s water stakeholders.

Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Plan

The Delta Plan, as it is called, establishes the twin goals of providing a more reliable water supply along with restoring and enhancing the Delta ecosystem. To accomplish these goals, the new law establishes the Delta Stewardship Council; the Council, staffed by seven appointed members who are intended to bring a balanced, state-wide view to the Council. The Council’s mandate sets both goals as “coequal” that is, conservancy and water availability must both be pursued and neither may trump the other in priority or urgency.

Additionally, the law directs state agencies and local governance boards to definitively establish water levels that are needed to maintain the biodiversity in the region. Funding from a recent ballot-initiative will be directed toward improving the pumping stations and flood control mechanisms such that these critical operations continue but the biodiversity of the Delta can be maintained.

Groundwater Monitoring

For the first time in the state’s history, California will require local agencies to monitor groundwater levels in both drought years and so-called “normal” years. This is critical to avoiding the water “slump” problem that was identified by this blog some months ago. Namely, during the drought years, conservation lags behind the drought – in effect the conservation doesn’t usually begin until the drought is well underway and the aquifer water levels are reduced. Then, when the normal rains come again, the conservation abruptly ends – without ever giving the aquifer an opportunity to replenish. This abusive cycle results in dangerously low water levels and an unpredictability to water availability in the longer term. The new law seeks to avoid these risks through constant monitoring – drought or rainy.

Statewide Water Conservation

Senate Bill No. 7 requires urban water agencies to reduce water consumption by 20 percent per capita by 2020. The importance of this action cannot be overstated. For the first time, the State of California is actively seeking to stabilize or even reduce overall water use. These agencies have wide latitude in how best to achieve the reduction goal but mechanisms include penalties for offenders and increased funding for agencies that need capital to implement conservation plans.

The bill goes further by requiring agricultural water use planning for the first time in the state’s history. These plans will look at ways of delivering water to growers in a more equitable manner and also seek to implement best practices aimed at conservation in the agricultural fields with a goal of replacing ever-increasing water use with improved sustainability in agriculture

Water Diversion and Use

The state will be directing hundreds of millions of dollars at multiple projects aimed at securing the reliability of the state’s water supply. Included in these projects will be flood protection projects that will reduce the risk of levee failures that would jeopardize water conveyance. Additionally, the State will pursue integrated regional water management projects to reduce dependence on the Delta, which currently accounts for a large portion of the State’s fresh water sourcing.

Governor Schwarzenegger and state lawmakers showed a cooperative spirit, working together to craft these bills. Though the challenges facing the state were demanding and the problems offered no easy answers, the solutions that they’ve come to appear solid. While these bills may not solve every water-related problem that California is facing, they do appear to set the state on a path toward sustainable water solutions.

Proctor and Gamble, a U.S. company that has a presence in almost every American home, manufactures a diverse set of products ranging from toothpaste and shampoo to disposable wipes and prescription drugs. But since 2004, they have also been sharing clean drinking water with the world. Under the moniker of their PUR brand, a brand that encompasses drinking water filters for sinks, refrigerators and pitchers, P&G has been distributing packets that can purify almost any available water – even if that water is contaminated with deadly microorganisms.
Quite simply, one only needs to pour a PUR packet into a container filled with water, stir, filter the resulting water through a cloth strainer (provided in each packet) and wait about 20 minutes. The results are amazing – even the most turbid, fouled water becomes clear and free of disease in less than 30 minutes, start to finish. Each packet can purify 10 liters of water and the process removes silt, cysts and pollution; additionally it kills viruses and bacteria that cannot be easily filtered. In the image below, the process of separating the solids from the water can be observed. This image was taken after a packet was added to brown, filthy water. The stirring process begins the reaction and the solids begin to clump together and fall out of the water.
While the obvious beneficiaries of such water-purifying technology are the citizens of the developing world, there are many other needs. Post-disaster recovery efforts like those after a major hurricane or earthquake can greatly benefit from clean water. Bringing in water from distant sources is a time consuming and resource-intensive effort; with adequate on-site water purification, it is possible to divert these resources to other important tasks like transport and care for the injured and cleanup. Beyond the grim vision of a disaster, hikers and backpackers are always eager to have a lightweight, transportable means of water purification.
The benefits of clean water are well established. Reduction of disease, reduction in childhood mortality and increased lifespan are all linked to clean drinking water access. Additionally, the improved quality of life in areas where fouled water has been made clean has often resulted in a more stable lifestyle for the local population. With the basic demand of survival met with the clean water, the residents are often able to focus on improvements to agriculture and the economy.
Dr. Greg Allgood is P&G’s director of the Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) program, the company’s effort aimed at distributing PUR packets to villages and their children worldwide. Together with global partners like CARE, USAID the USCDC and the International Council of Nurses, Dr. Allgood and his team have been able to distribute enough packets to purify over 1 billion liters of water since 2004. While that mark is certainly admirable, the P&G team wants to do more. The current goal for the CSDW program is to deliver over 3.5 billion liters of drinking water by 2012.
To help reach that goal, P&G is using a portion of the proceeds coming from PUR water filters and water purification packets sold in the United States. Every time consumers buy these products, P&G can provide more packets to children and their families in the developing world at no cost. Additionally, P&G and its partners take donations from the public that go directly to providing water purification packets to those who need them.

Water pollution is one of the biggest problems that the world is facing today.
Our water bodies, including rivers, lakes, oceans and even our ground water are becoming contaminated.
The result of this contamination can damage the whole world, causing damage to both the human population and the natural biological communities. World over, water pollution causes many diseases and even deaths. Thousands of people die every day due to some degree of water pollution.
HOW DOES WATER BECOME POLLUTED?
When toxic substances come into contact with water bodies like streams, lakes, ands oceans, they either get dissolved or settle on the bed, which results in pollution. Over time, the quality of the water deteriorates and anything living in the polluted water will be directly or indirectly affected.
Water pollution can happen in many ways. Two of the biggest causes are industrial waste and city sewage discharged into rivers. Developing countries like India, Pakistan, and China frequently do not have adequate facilities to treat their wastewater hence, untreated water is discharged into water bodies.
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS?
Throughout the world, there is a very great concern about water pollution. Consequently, many laws have been passed and there are strict rules prohibiting industries from dumping toxic industrial waste into a water body. However, these laws are still very weak in many countries as their elected officials do not seem to understand the gravity of the situation.
Each year, governments spend tremendous amounts of money to create clean drinking water for residents. There are also many non-governmental organizations that are working hard to keep local water bodies clean. There are thousands of environmental groups that are educating people all over the world and participating in clean up operations.
Everyone should consider participating in their local efforts to keep the water clean and increase awareness among the masses. This problem is rising fast and constant action will be needed for a long time.
We should look for cost effective ways to manage the water systems of each village, town and city across the globe. Local elected leaders might explore the cost effective options. On excellent option that they should consider is taking steps to use the Internet to publish their procurement bids and Requests for Quotation to a wider market.

Proctor and Gamble, a U.S. company that has a presence in almost every American home, manufactures a diverse set of products ranging from toothpaste and shampoo to disposable wipes and prescription drugs.  But since 2004, they have also been sharing clean drinking water with the world.  Under the moniker of their PUR brand, a brand that encompasses drinking water filters for sinks, refrigerators and pitchers, P&G has been distributing packets that can purify almost any available water – even if that water is contaminated with deadly microorganisms.

Quite simply, one only needs to pour a PUR packet into a container filled with water, stir, filter the resulting water through a cloth strainer (provided in each packet) and wait about 20 minutes.  The results are amazing – even the most turbid, fouled water becomes clear and free of disease in less than 30 minutes, start to finish.  Each packet can purify 10 liters of water and the process removes silt, cysts and pollution; additionally it kills viruses and bacteria that cannot be easily filtered.  In the image below, the process of separating the solids from the water can be observed.  This image was taken after a packet was added to brown, filthy water.  The stirring process begins the reaction and the solids begin to clump together and fall out of the water.

While the obvious beneficiaries of such water-purifying technology are the citizens of the developing world, there are many other needs.  Post-disaster recovery efforts like those after a major hurricane or earthquake can greatly benefit from clean water.  Bringing in water from distant sources is a time consuming and resource-intensive effort; with adequate on-site water purification, it is possible to divert these resources to other important tasks like transport and care for the injured and cleanup.  Beyond the grim vision of a disaster, hikers and backpackers are always eager to have a lightweight, transportable means of water purification.
