Nitrates in Drinking Water

Nitrates in Drinking Water: "NITRATES IN DRINKING WATER
Although low levels of nitrates may occur naturally in water, sometimes higher levels, which are potentially dangerous to infants, are found. Illinois has adopted a drinking water standard for nitrate of 10 milligrams per liter (10 mg/l) as N (nitrogen). This standard is mandatory for public water supplies and is used as a guide for private water supplies. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also uses 10 mg/l as N as a mandatory national standard for public supplies under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The 10 mg/l standard expressed as nitrogen (N) is equivalent to 45 mg/l expressed as nitrate."

New Economy

Robert Paterson's Radio Weblog: "the Internet is primarily a collaboration and communication platform rather than a marketplace aimed at co-ordinating exchanges of goods and services. Hence, it should come as no surprise that B2B e-marketplaces, which are geared toward communication and collaboration and aim at co-ordinating supply chains, are far more successful than B2C/e-tailing ventures that initially dismissed the inherently collaborative character of the Internet. And this is also reflected in the success of those early pioneers who have managed to stay afloat despite the current economic downturn."

CHARLOTTETOWN, PEI -- The final report of the Commission on Nitrates in Groundwater was presented to Premier Robert Ghiz yesterday.

The report was presented to Cabinet today. It is now available on the government website at www.gov.pe.ca/go/CommissiononNitratesReport .
“We heard from many Islanders and many technical experts about the current status of nitrates in our groundwater,” Commission Chair Armand DesRoches said. “Our report is based on the understanding that the build-up of nitrates in our surface and groundwater did not take place overnight. The solution will also take a long-term effort, and all Islanders must participate in the solution.”
Premier Ghiz said the Commission deserves a great deal of public thanks for its hard work and commitment.
“I want to thank each of these individuals for taking on this important task,

Google Earth: "KML Gallery: Explore the Earth on Google

Google Earth is a geographic browser -- a powerful tool for viewing, creating and sharing interactive files containing highly visual location-specific information. We call these files KMLs (for Keyhole Markup Language): what HTML is to regular Internet browsers, KML is to geographic browsers. You can open KML files in both Google Earth and Google Maps, as well as in many other geographic browsers. This KML Gallery contains some interesting examples of KMLs that organizations, communities, and users just like you have created using both Google Earth and the 'Create a map' feature in Google Maps.

Check back here each week for new content, add the KML Gallery Gadget to your iGoogle page, or find even more things to explore in the Google Earth Community. You can also submit your own KML to be considered for inclusion in the Gallery."
