Obtain a water quality report from your local municipality within the last two years and discuss what you found in the report?I live in Indiana

Testing of water quality in lakes and rivers by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) show that our most prevalent challenge is high levels of E coli, which are bacteria from animal and human feces.

Identify a water quality issue happening in your community and where the pollution comes from?

Indiana faces many challenges to water quality: nutrient pollution, manure runoff, excess sediment, inadequate sewage treatment, and industrial contamination. … Our public drinking water systems source their water from Indiana’s rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater so they sensitive to pollution problems.

IDEM estimates that the biggest sources are livestock operations and inadequate treatment of human sewage, including failing septic systems and sewage pipes that go straight to tile drains, ditches or streams.

Manure and sewage also contribute to nutrient pollution, which is an excess of nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, in water. Other sources include fertilizers, soil erosion, and urban stormwater. While nitrogen and phosphorus are important components of a healthy ecosystem, there can be “too much of a good thing”. An overabundance of nutrients in rivers and lakes can lead to an overgrowth of algae and loss of other aquatic species. An overabundance in groundwater can lead to high nitrate levels in wells which can cause water-related diseases, like ‘blue baby syndrome’.

Another water quality challenge is Indiana’s long history of industries leaving behind contaminated sites and contaminated groundwater. Smaller businesses like dry cleaners and gas stations have also been a significant source of groundwater contamination. Each site of groundwater contamination reduces what can safely be used for drinking water.

Describe how the pollution source is impacting the environment and human health in your community and provide two examples of each.

Identify three management practices to minimize water pollution.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
