I
believe that the proposed regional water plan presents a breath
of fresh air and a never before available opportunity for the water
systems of the area to solve a multitude of problems with source
water and problems meeting standards for finished water.

PBS Documentary Spotlights U.S. Water Infrastructure
When people need access to clean and safe water, it can be as simple as turning the knob of a kitchen sink faucet. It's so easy, in fact, that the average person in the U.S. thinks little about the 100 gallons per day he or she consumes. A new documentary film produced by Penn State Public Broadcasting, however, aims to make people think more about those 100 gallons.
The 90-minute documentary Liquid Assets: The Story of Our Water is scheduled to air nationwide starting October 1. At a time when experts are warning that water infrastructure is in dire need of repair, the film highlights the essential role that water infrastructure plays in protecting the public health, promoting economic prosperity, and ensuring good quality of life. Liquid Assets shares the tale of the U.S.'s distressed infrastructure systems: drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater. It addresses the history, engineering, and political and economic challenges associated with water infrastructure by highlighting the stories of cities and towns that are dealing with these issues. In conjunction with the airing of the documentary, Penn State Public Broadcasting is encouraging environmental and civic groups, service organizations, and government officials to show a DVD of the documentary and use a toolkit, available online, for community outreach.
About the
Partnership
The Water Partnership for Northwest Missouri is comprised
of representatives from a 12-county area of northwest Missouri.
 The
partnership was created to develop a regional water supply plan
for the northwest region. Its members, which include elected officials,
water system managers, economic development coordinators and community
planners, come from Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Caldwell, Clinton,
Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, Harrison, Holt, Nodaway and Worth counties.
The goal of the partnership is to explore options for a regional
water plan that provides a longterm, affordable, high-quality water
supply that takes advantage of existing infrastructure while maintaining
local control over distribution systems. Simply stated, the Water
Partnership exists to progressively address water issues in Northwest
Missouri to ensure the vitality of our region. |
