Two minutes. That's it.

We know everyone's busy (and attention spans aren't getting any longer 😄), so we packed some practical wise water use tips into a quick, easy-to-watch video.

It’s race day!

Do you know the true cost of nitrate pollution?

Nitrate in waterways impacts our health and our environment, but it also takes a toll on a variety of industries. The fishing industry, outdoor recreation, water treatment, and waterfront property values are all affected by nitrate pollution. Overall, the economic impact of nitrate pollution in the U.S. is estimated to be $210 billion/year! 💰💸

For this reason and many more, it is important that we fight for solutions that will keep nitrate pollution out of our waters. Join us during Nitrate Pollution Awareness Week (July 26-August 1) and find resources to advocate for clean water.

Nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient, but too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. When an influx of nitrate pollution enters a stream or lake, it creates an ecological imbalance that can jeopardize the health of waterways and lead to events like:
👎 Algae blooms
👎 Fish kills
👎 Dead zones

During Nitrate Pollution Awareness Week (July 26-August 1), we’ll hear webinars from experts discussing some of the harmful environmental impacts of nitrate pollution as well as the practical solutions that can keep nitrate out of the water. You won’t want to miss it! Visit iwla.org/nitrateawareness to learn more and register for webinars.

Tune in today at noon CT/1 pm ET to learn about the health impacts of nitrate pollution in water.
We’ll hear from Dr. David Cwiertny, Director of the University of Iowa’s Center for Health Effects of Environmental Contamination, for an in-depth exploration of how nitrate contamination in our water systems is a public health concern, linked to adverse health outcomes including cancers, thyroid disease, birth defects, and more.

You can’t see, smell, or taste it, but it could be in your glass.

Nitrate pollution isn't just an environmental issue - it’s a public health concern. Prolonged exposure to nitrate in drinking water is linked to numerous negative health outcomes, even at levels below the current regulatory standard. Plus, for the roughly 43 million Americans who get their drinking water from private wells, the responsibility of monitoring water quality rests on their shoulders.

Tune in during Nitrate Pollution Awareness Week (July 26-August 1) to learn about the health impacts of nitrate pollution and find out how to monitor nitrate concentrations in the waterways you care about. Head to iwla.org/nitrateawareness to learn more.

We're excited to launch the first video in our new Groundwater Protection series!

What if you could learn how to help protect one of our region's most valuable natural resources...in just two minutes?

Thanks to a Source Water Protection Grant from the Ohio EPA, along with the support of the Hamilton to New Baltimore Groundwater Consortium and our member the City of Fairfield, which graciously administered the grant, we've created a series of five short, engaging videos designed to help everyone better understand our shared groundwater resources and how we can all help protect them.

In our first video, you'll discover:

- Why protecting our groundwater starts with all of us.

- How education, community involvement, and stewardship help safeguard our shared aquifer.

- Simple everyday actions that help protect our drinking water for future generations.

- Ways you can get involved through the 5K Race for Global Water, river cleanups, community partnerships, and other local conservation efforts.

Protecting our groundwater isn't just the responsibility of water professionals—it's something every one of us can help with.

As you watch the video, we also invite you to join us for the Race for Global Water 5K on Saturday, August 1. It's a fun, family-friendly event that celebrates clean water while supporting groundwater education and source water protection efforts throughout our region.

Take two minutes to watch the first video, then consider taking the next step by joining us on August 1. Together, we can protect the water beneath our feet—for today and for generations to come.

What's one thing you do to help protect our water resources? Share it in the comments! And if you haven't registered yet, we hope to see you at the Race for Global Water 5K on August 1!
