groundwater
as
much
as
possible
from
contamination.
The
slide
show
covers
properties
of
pesticides,
soil,
and
groundwater
that
are
likely
to
worsen
contamination
and
provides
suggestions
for
handling
and
applying
them.
Other

the
fact
that
Earth's

water
for

This
journal
article
discusses
how
exposing
creeks,
rivers,
and
stormwater
drainage
to
daylight
can
improve
water
quality
and
hydraulic
capacity.
Daylighting
projects
deliberately
expose
some
or
all
of
the
flow
of
a
previously
covered
drainage,
offering
the
potential
to
recreate
wetlands,
ponds,
and
estuaries,
and
ultimately
reducing
the
levels
of
organic
and
inorganic
pollutants
in

Information
is
provided
about
water
concerns
and
issues
in
the
Middle
East.
The
material
includes
several
articles
about
water
policy
in
the
region,
where
many
countries
suffer
from
water
shortages.
The
scarcity
of
water
is
used
as
a
political
issue
and
lever,
particularly
as
population
growth
has
historically
expanded
to
the
limits
of
the
scarcest
available
resource.
