Keeping Water Clean
October 8, 2008 by Carol Short
What could be more interesting than learning about the history of sewerage treatment? That was one of the presentations October 6th in Siloam Springs at the Arkansas - Oklahoma Water Quality Forum hosted by Congressman John Boozman (AR) and Congressman Dan Boren (OK). Actually it was quite interesting.
Since water doesn’t respect political or geographic boundaries, we all need to work together to protect the region’s water supply. The idea is to consider the watershed as a whole and come up with a plan of doable projects - and a plan to implement and finance the projects. Believe it or not, this is really interesting stuff!
As mentioned in another post, litter is ugly - and it’s also a hazard to our lakes, rivers and domestic water supplies. Picking it up instead of leaving it lie is an important thing to do for many reasons. It’s an example of a small act that can make a big difference. Sponsoring lake and shore cleanups is one of the things watershed groups can do to promote water quality.
Protecting the water - it’s the right thing to do.
