State water supplies short of normal

The snowpack needed to be at least 120 percent of average by the beginning of April to replenish the state's most important reservoirs after three years of below-average precipitation the department said Thursday. The state said that it will be able to deliver only about 20 percent of the water it typically allocates for cities and farmers.

Perchlorate Chemicals Found in 100% of Tested Infant Formula Products

–>(NaturalNews) The CDC has conducted a study of infant formula products sold in the United States and shockingly found they were all contaminated with rocket fuel chemicals!Published in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology these findings reveal that every single infant formula product tested was found to contain perchlorate. The highest levels were reportedly found in the cow’s milk formula products. How does perchlorate get into infant formula? It’s simple: It’s a contaminant in the water supply that’s given to dairy cows. Those cows in turn pass the perchlorate chemicals through their milk and that milk is used to make infant formula that many (ignorant) parents still feed their babies. (Can you believe human mothers still feed their human babies milk made from bovine animals?)What’s a better alternative? First off human breast milk is the obvious choice. But if that’s not available goat’s milk infant formula is the next-best thing. (Check your local health food store for goat’s milk brands.

Greensboro developing a resilient water system
Greensboro News Record
" During high flows in the winter months when water consumption is down the city can pump water from the Haw River to its Lake Townsend reservoir for storage until warmer months when demand is higher. The city launched a major water line rehabilitation initiative in 2004. The city is investing $1. 75 million per year to replace old leaky water lines. It has modernized its system of water meters and water billing. It bills its customers monthly to provide them current information about their water consumption. Some other cities waited until the 2007-2008 drought before adopting similar policies.

Aquifer recharge projects catching on in water-strapped cities

The new $400 million project to tap the water will eventually supply up to 90 percent of the Albuquerque metropolitan area’s drinking water needs. “It could be very important for us” added John Stomp manager of the water resources program for the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority. The move toward artificial aquifer recharge signifies a shift in thinking about water supplies in the West. Just a few decades ago “people thought they were sitting on a huge lake and that we’d never run out of water” Moore said. Then after hydrologists found that overpumping was depleting aquifers water managers began to look to surface waters like the Rio Grande to supplement dwindling resources. The Bear Canyon water comes from the San Juan-Chama Project which pipes water from the Colorado River Basin across the Continental Divide to the Rio Grande Basin.
