- Great Lakes Investment Platform
Water utilities in the Great Lakes St. Lawrence region are invited to participate in the Great Lakes Impact Investment Platform (Platform). The Platform is a new structure to encourage environmentally sustainable economic growth in the Great Lakes States and Provinces. It features various investment products intended to deliver demonstrable impact and revitalization to the region’s waters, while also seeking to generate competitive, market-based financial returns. The Platform is geographically specific and impact focused. It is among the first of its kind, and is a model that could be applied to other natural resources in this region or globally.
- Ground Water Depletion in the US
Groundwater Depletion in the United States (1900−2008)
By Leonard F. Konikow
Abstract
A natural consequence of groundwater withdrawals is the removal of water from subsurface storage, but the overall
rates and magnitude of groundwater depletion in the United
States are not well characterized.
- If You Think the Water Crisis Can't Get Worse, Wait Until the Aquifers Are Drained
Aquifers provide us freshwater that makes up for surface water lost from drought-depleted lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. We are drawing down these hidden, mostly nonrenewable groundwater supplies at unsustainable rates in the western United States and in several dry regions globally, threatening our future.
- State Source Water Protection Plan Guides and Templates Now Available on ASDWA Web Site
ASDWA has posted a collection of twenty states’ source water protection plan guides (including Illinois), templates, and other useful links and documents on our web site. The collection of these resources was prompted by the State of West Virginia’s request for this information, as a means to help them implement their new source water protection planning law, in the aftermath of the Elk River chemical spill. We hope that other states also find these resources valuable for conducting source water protection planning efforts in their own states. Please visit the new web page by going to www.asdwa.org/sourcewaterprotection scrolling down to “State Source Water Web Sites.” While visiting the web site, be sure to check out all of the other great resources, tools, and links that are available for your use.

- Wetlands A Treasured Water Resource for the Tampa Bay
The article shows the way to preserve and protect the wetlands. Wetlands are an important part of Florida’s ecosystem and water supply, and their preservation is essential. They remove excess nutrients, toxic substances and sediment from water that flows through them, helping to improve downstream water quality and the overall health of the waters in our communities.
- Wetlands and the aquifer serve as a natural filtration system for rainfall and runoff
Tampa Bay regional water supply was once 100 percent groundwater Wetlands and the aquifer serve as a natural filtration system for rainfall and runoff. Wetlands and the aquifer serve as a natural filtration system for rainfall and runoff. This makes wetlands a vital part of our environment and a critical part of our clean drinking water supply.
