Podcasts about Water quality

During this 100th episode of 4 The Soil: A Conversation, Jeff, Mary, and Eric take a look back at some of the most memorable topics and guests. They share how (and why) the podcast started in 2021, and also offer their vision for the future of the podcast. To help us commemorate this milestone, please share how and why you are 4 the Soil with us and others. As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, farm enterprises, and/or livestock integration.Yes, soil health is a great conversation starter. Have a five to ten minute conversation about soil today because we can all be 4 The Soil and for the future!  To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Vinayak Shedekar, a research scientist at the forefront of multifunctional drainage systems in agriculture. Drain tile has long been used to remove excess water from fields, but according to Dr. Shedekar, that's just scratching the surface.We explore how tile systems can now support irrigation, manage seasonal water needs, improve water quality, and even contribute to conservation efforts. Dr. Shedekar explains the concept of transitioning from "drain to de-rain"—a strategy that leverages tile infrastructure to retain or redistribute water based on the time of year and crop demand.He also unpacks the potential of drainage water management and subirrigation in increasing yields, improving efficiency, and enhancing farm profitability—especially in places like Northwest Ohio, where traditional irrigation adoption has been limited.Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of:How to evaluate their current tile systemWhether water management upgrades make senseHow conservation practices like bioreactors and control structures play into the big pictureWhat technologies are emerging to help maximize return from these buried systemsIf you've ever wondered whether your tile could be doing more for your crops, wallet, and the environment, this episode is for you.

An official investigation has blamed the recent foul odor in tap water supplied to residents of Yuhang district in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, on naturally occurring algal degradation and dismissed rumors of sewage contamination.一项官方调查将最近供应给浙江省杭州市余杭区居民的自来水中的恶臭归咎于自然发生的藻类降解，并驳斥了污水污染的谣言。In a statement issued on Saturday, the district government said that a special investigation team, including provincial experts, determined that the smell came from anaerobic decomposition products released by algae under certain climatic conditions.在周六发布的一份声明中，区政府表示，包括省级专家在内的一个特别调查小组确定，这种气味来自藻类在某些气候条件下释放的厌氧分解产物。Waterquality anomalies first appeared on Wednesday at one of the district's treatment plants. Upon discovering the problem, the plant switched to an alternative water source, and treated water quality has since been controlled and certified safe for distribution, the statement added.周三，该地区的一家污水处理厂首次出现水质异常。声明补充说，在发现问题后，该工厂转而使用替代水源，处理后的水质得到了控制，并被证明可以安全分配。Officials rejected earlier social media claims that an accidental connection between sewage and drinkingwater pipelines caused the incident, calling those reports false and announcing that police has taken legal action against individuals who spread the misinformation.官员们否认了早些时候社交媒体上关于污水和饮用水管道之间意外连接导致事件的说法，称这些报道是虚假的，并宣布警方已对传播错误信息的个人采取法律行动。In a separate statement on Thursday, the local watersupply company confirmed that water quality has fully recovered. It urged residents to flush any stored tap water from their household pipes and pledged to waive up to five tons of water fees per household for July as compensation.在周四的另一份声明中，当地供水公司证实水质已完全恢复。它敦促居民从家庭管道中冲洗任何储存的自来水，并承诺在7月份免除每户高达5吨的水费作为补偿。sewage contaminationn.污水污染/ˈsuːɪdʒ ˌkɒntæmɪˈneɪʃən/anaerobic decompositionn.厌氧分解/ˌænəˈrəʊbɪk ˌdiːkəmˈpəʊzɪʃən/

Dr Jo Barnes, Senior Lecturer Emeritus at Stellenbosch University, speaks to Lester Kiewit about Cape Town’s ongoing water contamination challenges. Drawing on new peer-reviewed research, she explains how “contaminant denialism” — including withholding data, misrepresenting science, and ignoring water flow dynamics — has hindered transparency and public health protections. The conversation explores the impact of outdated infrastructure, political and economic pressures, and the urgent need for independent oversight and predictive modeling to improve water quality management. This research sheds light on a decade-long dispute between scientific evidence and official public communication in Cape Town.

In this second episode, Elizabeth "Liz" McMullen and Garland Mason of Organic Valley Cooperative (OV) share how the company and its farm membership nourish a whole community perspective to benefit existing farmer member-owners and reduce obstacles for farmers who are curious about organic production and joining the cooperative as members.  Liz and Garland state that OV regional pool managers can talk with farmers about the certification process, requirements, and specific on-farm organic practices. Liz and Garland also advise reaching out to neighboring OV farmers in your state who have gone through the process.Organic Valley's Rootstock blog provides glimpses into the day-to-day on-farm work routines and the values, practices, and experiences that inform organic farming as a business and build a whole community. To learn more about Organic Valley's commitment to cooperation, sustainability, soil health, and thriving farms and communities, please visit https://www.organicvalley.coop/  As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers and follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the Soil Covered -- Cover crops are our friends; 2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible; 3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity and life in the soil; and 4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation and/or livestock integration. Yes, soil health is a great conversation starter because we can all be 4 The Soil and for the future! To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

In this episode of the Progressive Cattle Podcast, Ted and Elizabeth join the show to unpack key management strategies for today's beef producers. From the benefits of value-added programs to cow size and forage demand, the conversation offers practical insights for optimizing herd performance. The discussion also dives into the importance of water quality—especially during drought—and the surprising costs of horn flies. Whether you're evaluating inputs or planning for the season ahead, this episode is full of timely, actionable takeaways. This episode is sponsored by Purina Animal Nutrition.

Water is something that intersects with every aspect of our lives, both at home and in the backcountry.Whether you're filtering water from a stream, swimming in a local lake, or filling up a glass of water at home, the quality of that water matters.But knowing if your home water quality is up to important health standards can be confusing to understand, which is why we wanted to tackle the question of how exactly we can know if our water is safe to drink and what to do about if it isn't. Joining me is Cydian Kauffman, the founder of Pure Water Northwest. He helps homeowners, families, and communities take control of their water quality using science-backed, practical solutions. With years of hands-on experience in water treatment and a passion for public education, Cydian has guided clients across the Pacific Northwest through challenges like industrial runoff, high iron levels, bacterial contamination, arsenic, iron bacteria, and even mysterious health issues tied to hidden toxins in household water.INSTAGRAM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LISTENER SURVEY: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----------------Pure Water NorthwestLinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/cydian-kauffman/⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/pure-water-northwest/⁠Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PureWaterNorthWest⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/purewaternorthwest1/⁠TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@purewaternorthwest⁠X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/AquaMasters12⁠YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@purewaternorthwest⁠Next Door: https://nextdoor.com/pages/pure-water-northwest-bainbridge-island-wa/⁠-----------------Episode ResourcesEWG Tap Water Database: https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/Tapscore Home Water Testing Kits: https://mytapscore.com/Water Quality Association of America: https://wqa.org/

In this paradigm-shifting episode, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with the legendary Dr. Gerald Pollack, world-renowned bioengineering professor and pioneer of “Fourth Phase Water”, also known as EZ (Exclusion Zone) Water. They unpack the revolutionary concept that water in the body exists in a structured, energized form—beyond solid, liquid, and gas—and is central to cellular function, energy production, and health.You'll learn how EZ water acts like a biological battery, how red and infrared light build this water structure, and why cancer cells are deficient in it. Dr. Pollack also explores how mitochondrial health, light exposure, grounding, herbal compounds, and hyperbaric oxygen all influence our internal hydration and vitality at a cellular level.Whether you're into bioenergetics, red light therapy, or hydration science, this episode is a must-listen.Topics covered:• What is EZ Water and how it powers cells• Why hydration isn't just about drinking water• The shocking truth about ATP and cellular energy• How light, movement, and herbs influence cellular water• Implications for cancer, chronic disease, and aging• Dr. Pollack's upcoming book Charged Dr. Gerald H. Pollack is a professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington and a pioneering researcher in the field of water science. He is renowned for his discovery of the “fourth phase of water,” also known as exclusion zone (EZ) water, which exists beyond the traditional solid, liquid, and vapor states.

The Great Lakes provide fresh drinking water to more than 30 million people, power a multi-billion-dollar shipping industry, and create habitats for millions of fish, birds, and other wildlife. Experts say recent federal funding cuts to one prominent lab that monitors the Great Lakes, the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, may be putting the health of the lakes in danger. We will begin Wednesday's "Sound of Ideas" with a discussion on the topic of Great Lakes water quality and the potential impact for those who rely on the lakes for their daily needs. Later, putting fluoride in public drinking water has been called one of the 10 great public health interventions of the 20th century according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention due to the large reduction in cavities since the practice began in 1945. But U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said last month that he plans to tell the CDC to stop this recommendation nationwide, and has called fluoride a "dangerous neurotoxin" that he claims is linked to several health problems. Dental experts and public health advocates have pushed back on these claims, and continue to advocate for the practice.
