How the University of Arizona used No. 2 to solve its No. 1 problem: The coronavirus
The University of Arizona made a bold claim this week: It stopped a coronavirus outbreak before it started. Universities around the U.S. have struggled with outbreaks as they attempt to start the fall semester.

Treated Wastewater May Be the Irrigation Wave of the Future
Approximately one-half of 1% of the planet’s water is drinkable, and we use that water for much more than drinking – showering, brushing our teeth, watering our grass, etc. Consumer usage, however, pales in comparison to the amount of water needed to irrigate our crops.

Using Education to Strengthen Emergency Preparedness for Septic Systems
After the events of the past year, emergency preparedness has clearly emerged as one of the most important topics facing environmental health. The 2017 hurricane season left hundreds of billions of dollars-worth of damage in its wake. Meanwhile, wildfires in California burned over 1.2 million acres, resulting in five of the 20 most destructive fires in the state’s history. Despite the expansive media coverage these disasters generated, damage to wastewater treatment systems, especially private ones, was rarely discussed.

Rules and Regs: Big Farm Bill Has an Onsite Bonus
When President Donald Trump signed the 2018 Farm Bill on Dec. 20, it included a present for onsite installers. A few paragraphs in the bill allow low-income rural homeowners to access a pool of money for upgrading or replacing their onsite wastewater systems. The law allows grants of up to $20,000. Because this is a piece of federal legislation, that doesn’t mean the cash drawer is open. The way Congress works, a bill creating a program is separate from the appropriations bill that allocates money it.
