Florida water quality and conservation2/17/2012 Play Time: 8 min 40 sec
Florida is dependant on its water for the economy, public health and enjoyment. This video demonstrates the role that landscapes play in protecting our water supply from pollution and wasteful consumption. Discharges from lake Okeechobee, runoff from agricultural land, runoff from urban streets, runoff from gardens containing fertilizers all contribute to the decline in the rivers and estuaries. Ornamental landscapes use 30% of household water, contributing greatly to water supply problems. The video encourages the public to limit the use of grass in their landscapes as one tool in the repair of Florida's water problems.

Safe Drinking Water: Science and Law
2/17/2012 Play Time: 48min 11 sec
The lecture reviews water law in the United States, and highlights challenges inherent in regulating water quality. Aging water infrastructure, pesticide and herbicide application, and surface water runoff all pose challenges in maintaining a clean drinking water supply. The lecture covers pesticide management through the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The management of pesticides and herbicides in drinking water has been heavily influenced by the economic concerns of pesticide and herbicide users as well as the municipal water agencies charged with testing water regularly for regulated chemicals. The lecture concludes with the regulation history of atrazine, a commonly used herbicide that research has shown to be hormonally active.
