Protecting the Sources of our Water
We don’t often think about where our drinking water comes from, or who takes care to ensure it’s clean and potable. It actually comes from a variety of sources, some deep in the earth in the form of “groundwater” that can be obtained through drilled wells, or that originates as “surface water” in streams, rivers, and reservoirs. Since both surface and ground water sources are vulnerable to pollution, it’s critical that we think about how we can protect this life sustaining resource that we all depend upon.
