What have you been drinking?

I hope that you can make it to our next science cafe that will be held on November 18th at The Irregardless Cafe on Morgan Street. We will be discussing water quality in our area.

Here are a couple of websites that you might find interesting. The first gives information about how populations of some animals (such as freshwater fishes and mussels) are doing in our waterways ... these animals are often good indicators of the health of our water resources.
The second website is from the city of Raleigh and gives information about the quality of Raleigh's water supply as well as a list of volunteer opportunities for those of you who might want to get involved in helping to keep our streams and rivers clean.
