#DYK : more than half of Virginia's drinking water originates on forest land? Healthy forests provide clean drinking water by:
💧 Filtering pollutants out of water
💧 Reducing erosion
💧 Absorbing excess nutrients and sediments
#WaterQualityMonth #ForestsToFaucets #DrinkingWater
Freshwater is one of our most precious resources. With a growing population, how does the state balance what is needed for human consumption, agriculture, and industrial users; with our natural areas and wildlife? 🧵👇 #waterqualitymonth
Healthy #soil can store and filter water, recover nutrients and help us cope with the negative effects of #ClimateChange by storing large amounts of #carbon . We need healthy land to support human well-being and a healthy planet. #WaterQualityMonth #WaterWednesday

The presence of forests 🌲 helps keep our drinking water 💧 clean by filtering sediments & other pollutants from the water. This also translates to lower water treatment costs to communities 💵 .

The good news is there are ongoing efforts to resolve the issue of PFAS.
And to a certain extent, the use of a carbon filter system has proven effective in removing PFAS from water.

August is #WaterQualityMonth & the recent boil water advisory in our community reinforces the need to prioritize investments in our water infrastructure — something I highlight every year with my World Water Day resolution — to ensure that safe water is always accessible to all.
💧 Access to safe water, hygiene + sanitation could reduce the world's disease burden by up to 10%.
#Safewater is key to a good health. In Wath Onger, Kenya, waterborne diseases have been reduced to 50% since the establishment of a local #SafeWaterEnterprise .

Everyday, farmers in Virginia implement best management practices, including no-till, stream exclusion fencing and planting cover crops to ensure Virginians have access to superior water. Farmers are the original conservationists and celebrate #WaterQualityMonth all year long.
A green straw was found inside this Mahi Mahi caught off NJ this August as was this partial yellow balloon inside another pictured with many Sea Horses that we’re also found in it’s belly!
