Clean Water: Still Elusive

The NY Times has delved into the issue of water contamination on frequent items in 2009. Good for them and us because while many “sexier” political issues take their place in media, a more “boring” issue, the access to clean, safe water trumps the importance of virtually all other issues. Excerpt and link to item follows.

Rightly celebrated as one of this country’s most important environmental statutes, the 1972 Clean Water Act has greatly improved the quality of America’s waters, turning contaminated rivers and lakes into swimmable, fishable and even drinkable waters.

But even its staunchest allies agree that the act has grown old and fallen well short of its goals, crippled by uneven and sometimes nonexistent enforcement by state and federal agencies — particularly during the Bush years, but even before — and by shortcomings in the law itself.

Rehydrating Sick Children

A potentially serious consequence of severe vomiting and diarrhea is dehydration (an abnormally low level of water in the body). Adequate fluid levels are needed to maintain the volume of blood in the body. As the body loses fluid, it also loses electrolytes, electrically charged minerals (like sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate and magnesium), that are important for muscle action and many of the body’s processes.
