INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Water Technologies, Inc. (OTC Markets: GWTR) has identified better monitoring of leaking water mains as an opportunity to improve of the nation's drinking water infrastructure.
Our cities treat water to drinking quality standards and then pump it through old, leaking underground pipes where often more than 20 percent of that water is lost," said CEO Erik Hromadka. "We then use approximately two percent of the water for drinking or cooking, combine the rest with dirty water and repeat the process. It's an extremely inefficient system that needs new technology.

City of Santa Fe municipal water comes from surface accumulations (McClure and Nichols Reservoirs) from springs, rainfall runoff, and snowmelt in the upper Santa Fe River watershed as well as from groundwater wells. Water that reaches city taps is treated in compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drinking- water standards.
The quality of water is a product of its provenance, a geologic term meaning its origin and all the natural factors that influence it along its pathway from sky or earth to our supply sources. As you might expect, water that falls from the sky and courses across a largely forested surface and into a drainage or reservoir has a far different provenance, and thus water chemistry, from water that falls on the Sangre de Cristos, traverses rock strata with v...

WEST Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection wants to rewrite rules, making it easier to pollute state streams. DEP officials say the goal is to make industrial permits easier to obtain and lessen paperwork for DEP's water quality standards office.
