I just recently posted about the micro-plastic contamination that's being found in the Great Lakes. Well, some of that stuff (like cosmetic microbeads) probably goes down the drain, but a lot of stuff that is bad for our freshwater resources doesn't -- it comes off our sidewalks and lawns and parking lots and goes into storm sewers and urban streams. So, some of things that can be done about improving our national water quality are described on this Web site and shown in the graphic image below.
Remember, rivulet to runoff to creek to stream to river to lake and bay. We're all in this together, if we drink water.
By the way, apparently the Environmental Protection Agency is ultimately behind National Water Quality Month, but I can't find anything truly official stating that. But hey, it's still a good thing to remember.
