What's in our water: An intro



Save for the images of oil-covered birds after the Exxon spill two decades ago, we often don't see and therefore don't think about water pollution. Climate change and persistant drought have made water shortages and newsier topic. And these issues add to the importance of pollution threatening our global water supply. And as an industrial powerhouse, the United States is responsible for its fair share of it.

But the solution to the problem isn't elusive. It just takes awareness and effort. All of us as individuals can make changes that make a difference, whether it's using a rain barrel or installing a water filter. There are things we can do or not do or buy or not buy that are related to water and have other environmental impacts as well, such as bottled water. And there are products we use every day in our own houses that seem harmless, but end up wreaking havoc on our water supply once they make their way from our sinks, toilets and storm drains all the way to the ocean.

So read and think and maybe you'll be inspired to become an individual conservation and anti-pollution powerhouse.
