Colorado River Water Allocation

The Colorado River Compact of 1922 was an agreement that divided the water from the Colorado River among the seven states in the basin. It allocated 7.5 million acre-feet of water annually to both the Upper Basin and the Lower Basin. The Upper Basin states were given the right to use their share of the water as long as it didn't affect the flow to the Lower Basin. The Lower Basin states were allocated specific amounts, with Arizona receiving 2.8 million acre-feet, California receiving 4.4 million acre-feet, and Nevada receiving 300,000 acre-feet. The compact didn't include provisions for environmental purposes and didn't anticipate future challenges like drought and increased water demand. Ongoing negotiations and management strategies are now necessary to address water shortages and ensure the river system's sustainability.

Chemical Spill in West Virginia

In 2014, a chemical spill occurred in West Virginia when around 10,000 gallons of MCHM, an industrial chemical used in coal processing, leaked from a storage tank into the Elk River. The river, which supplies drinking water to approximately 300,000 residents, was contaminated. As a result, authorities issued a "do not use" order for tap water in nine counties, leading to the closure of schools and businesses. Over 1,000 people sought medical treatment for symptoms related to exposure to the spill. The incident prompted investigations into the cause of the leak and the response of regulators. The company responsible for the storage tank agreed to pay $151 million to settle related lawsuits. This event underscored the dangers of chemical storage near water sources and emphasized the need for stricter oversight, regulation, and emergency response planning to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Chemicals have infrequently been linked to outbreaks of waterborne sickness in the United States, making the West Virginia water issue an unusual and intriguing occurrence.

At the time of the accident, the main ingredient in the liquid, 4-methylcyclohexanemethanol (MCHM), was not well-known from a toxicological standpoint. The manufacturer stated that MCHM is toxic when consumed, can cause skin and eye irritation, and may have harmful effects on the respiratory system and eyes under high temperatures.

Water at European Renaissance

During the European Renaissance from the 14th to 16th centuries, there were advancements in water related technology focusing on distribution systems like aqueducts, fountains and irrigation canals. However, sanitation and wastewater management lagged behind resulting in health risks. Though there wasn't any organized water conservation movement, the growing interest in water through hydraulic engineering and art indicated an awareness of the importance of water resources. But the lack of proper sanitation infrastructure hindered comprehensive water conservation efforts.

The Renaissance saw significant progress in water works but inadequate focus on sanitation and wastewater systems pointing to an imbalance between technological advances and effective water management approaches. The rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman knowledge during the Renaissance brought about a renewed focus on water engineering and innovations in supplying water to urban areas.
