For your local Lake of the Ozarks water treatment needs, you can rely on Lindyspring Systems Lake of the Ozarks to help you tackle any water crisis you may face in your home or business. But what about water sources nationally? It's no secret that our nation has been facing the constant issue of contaminated water for as long as any of us can remember. The problem isn't unfixable though, and it's certainly not being swept under the rug.

During the week of April 26-May 2, many national and global organizations will gather virtually for Water Week 2020. The effort to elevate water and water infrastructure as a national priority has reached a critical stage. While the preservation of tax-exempt municipal bonds in the recent tax reform package is a great victory and positive sign for water, the elimination of advance refunding is a red flag that water sector advocates must redouble their efforts to educate policymakers about the importance of water infrastructure funding. Water Week 2020 will communicate the value of water to environmental protection, to economic development and to job creation – and inspire action.

Currently there are over 663 million people living without safe accessible water supplies who are coping with health impacts of using contaminated water. 1.8 billion people use a source of drinking water contaminated with feces, putting them at risk of contracting cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio. Unsafe water, poor sanitation and hygiene causes around 842,000 deaths each year.

Due to population growth and economic development, the amount of wastewater generated and its overall pollution load are increasing globally. However, wastewater management is being seriously neglected, and is grossly undervalued as a potentially affordable and sustainable source of water. However, there are many treatment processes and systems that will allow the use of wastewater to meet the growing water demand.

Globally, over 80% of the wastewater generated by society flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused. Instead of wasting wastewater, we need to reduce and reuse it. In our homes, we can reuse greywater on our gardens and plots. In our cities, we can treat and reuse wastewater for green spaces. In industry and agriculture, we can treat and recycle discharge for things like cooling systems and irrigation. By exploiting this valuable resource, we will make the water cycle work better for every living thing. The costs of wastewater management are greatly outweighed by the benefits to human health, economic development and environmental sustainability.
