Fresh-cut produce washing practices can minimize food-borne illness risks
Researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently examined the safety and quality of "wash techniques" used in the production of packaged produce. View More (2007-12-07)
Drinking recycled water?
The Australian Government National Water Commission funded a study to establish an approach to assess the quality of water treated using managed aquifer recharge. View More (2011-01-07)
Fuzzy logic water quality
A fuzzy logic approach to analyzing water quality could help reduce the number of people in the developing world forced to drink polluted and diseased water for survival. View More (2008-04-18)
Study of espresso coffee quality
The preparation of Espresso Coffee (EC) is influenced by factors related to the coffee and water and other technical conditions related to the machine. Susana Andueza has presented her doctoral thesis about Influence of technological variables on espresso coffee quality. Antioxidant and pro-oxidant capacity of coffee in the University of Navarre. The aim of this work was to investigate the... View More (2004-02-12)
Study shows cleaner water mitigates climate change effects on Florida Keys coral reefs
Improving the quality of local water increases the resistance of coral reefs to global climate change, according to a study published in June in Marine Ecology Progress Series. View More (2010-07-07)
Renaturation of waterbodies does not have to be expensive
The water landscape in many countries has many deficiencies. The ecological consequences of this are poor water quality as well as a deterioration and a shift of the naturally occurring species spectrum. The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Germany, has examined the existing morphological water structure deficiencies and possible renaturation measures for the German...

Pesticide Concentrations Decreasing
The widespread use of pesticides across the United States has been in practice for decades, with little knowledge of the long-term effects on the nation's groundwater. View More (2008-10-21)
Everglades Show Improvement in Water Quality
Researchers at the University of Florida Research and Education Centers and scientists at the South Florida Water Management District have published a report regarding the trends in water quality feeding into Everglades National Park. View More (2010-10-22)
Study uses stream fish as indicators of water quality
For many years, regulatory agencies have used chemical standards to assess water quality. View More (2005-11-01)
Notre Dame researcher is studying role small dams play in pollution control
Sometimes, little things can add up to a lot. In short, that's the message of a research study on small dams, streams and pollution by Steve Powers, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Notre Dame's Environmental Change Initiative (ECI). View More (2013-03-29)
Nitrate Concentrations of Ground Water Increasing in Many Areas of the United States
Nitrate is the most common chemical contaminant in the world's ground water, including in aquifers used for drinking-water supply. View More (2008-09-18)
Sediment pollution should be included in water quality assessment, according to a study by AZTI-Tecnalia
Under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) (Directive 2000/60/CE), member states are required to achieve Good Water Status for water (continental, estuarine, subterranean and coastal water bodies) in Europe by 2015. Surface water quality is assessed taking into account the ecological and chemical status. View More (2010-10-06)
Study explores long-term water quality trends in near-pristine streams
For the first time, a study has compared water quality trends in forested streams across the country that are largely undisturbed by land use or land cover changes. View More (2013-03-20)
Pesticides -- easier detection of pollution and impact in rivers
The long-term effects of pesticides on living organisms in rivers and on water quality can now be assessed more easily. View More (2009-09-04)
NASA satellite improves pollution monitoring
NASA scientists improved watershed pollution monitoring models by incorporating satellite and ground-based observations of precipitation. View More (2010-07-26)
Biofuels production has unintended consequences on water quality and quantity in Mississippi
Growing corn for biofuels production is having unintended effects on water quality and quantity in northwestern Mississippi. View More (2010-12-01)
Models Simulate Nitrate Dynamics in Garonne, Southwest France
The over-enrichment of fresh, transitional, and marine waters with nitrogen (N) can lead to problems associated with eutrophication, such as a change in species composition of aquatic plants and nuisance algal blooms. In this context, dynamic models of flow and water quality are required to aid the implementation of the Water Framework Directive and to understand the impacts of environmental...

Real-world proof of hand washing's effectiveness
Scientists are reporting dramatic new real-world evidence supporting the idea that hand washing can prevent the spread of water-borne disease. It appears in a new study showing a connection between fecal bacteria contamination on hands, fecal contamination of stored drinking water, and health in households in a developing country in Africa.

World first in satellite-based monitoring of large lake areas
Satellite sensors operating in the visible wavelength region are now in use for the monitoring of oceanic waters. For the first time ever, Finnish scientists have demonstrated the practical usability of satellite data for the simultaneous monitoring of water quality in large lake and coastal regions. The project was carried out by the Laboratory of Space Technology of the Helsinki University of... View More (2002-04-15)
Measuring the health of the sea
Last summer Donostia City Council in the Basque Country installed a special buoy in the city's Concha Bay for the first time. The apparatus carried out analyses of the water quality in order to verify its suitability for bathing. This buoy was anchored at the bottom of the sea, halfway between the Santa Clara islet and the Concha and Ondarreta beaches. Now, a newly incorporated sensor that... View More (2003-07-28)
