Microscopic Organisms, Monumental Problems: Bacteria Pollution in Our Waters (Webinar)
Microcystin, E. coli, manure, sewage… too frequently, these pollutants can be found in our streams, rivers and lakes. Though we can’t see bacteria with our naked eyes, we also can’t ignore the negative results of bacteria pollution. Impacting drinking water, recreation, aesthetics, wildlife, and ecosystem integrity, bacteria pollution is a significant cause for concern, especially in warmer months.
Lisa Wu with Potomac Riverkeeper Network and Alicia Vasto with Iowa Environmental Council join us for a discussion about bacteria monitoring, urban and rural sources, impacts and solutions!
