Scientists Sounding Alarm As World’s Largest #Tropical #Lake Turns Green
In #LakeVictoria, #eutrophication and resulting #HAB have been caused by over a century of human activity sending nutrients into lake’s water. #Agricultural #runoff, #sewage, and industrial #wastewater have all been linked to the problem, as well as products of slash and burn practices, biomass burning, and industry being sent up into the atmosphere and dumped down into lake.

Look at the 12 month #covid #wastewater chart for Deer Island in #Boston

It was a little higher 12 months ago, just a little bit. Is this because the spreaders are slowly dying off? It’s certainly not because of herd immunity.

I’m trying to take the wins where I can find them, even if it’s a huge reach like this.

Hello, it’s the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

Let's start with the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant. The 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels has crept up a bit. Last data is from 4/29.

WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). New! the Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

#texas #ecologicalnightmare #texassewage #wastewater #pollution #crisis
Throughout Central Texas, where two decades of booming population growth have come with a massive increase in domestic wastewater — mostly human sewage. The effluent from wastewater treatment plants appears clean and clear, but it contains high levels of organic nutrients that can cause algae blooms and devastate native aquatic ecosystems when dumped into streams and rivers.
“There’s a hell of a lot more people pissing in the pond,”“Private citizens should not have to be enforcing the environmental standards of the state.” Attempts to pass statewide regulations of discharges into waterways have repeatedly failed.
"Texas is becoming an open sewer"
