 Want to hear more about water?

Water podcasts are becoming more popular.  Here are several that include interesting interviews and news about water tech, current events, and more:


The St. Johns River Water Management District created WATERSPOUT as a way to let you hear directly from us about Florida’s water resources. You’ll hear from our staff members about the work they do each day and how that work benefits our shared water resources. We’ll delve into important topics affecting our region’s water, what the District is doing and what you can do to help preserve and protect water.


Making Waves is the Florida Water Environment Association's (FWEA's) exploration of our water environment and the impactful actions of our water professionals. Interviews with water professionals from around the state, and even the world bring insight and understanding to our water challenges.





This podcast is produced by the Water Environment Federation. Dive into the essential conversations shaping our water future with Words on Water, where influential leaders share expert insights on infrastructure innovations, workforce development, and environmental stewardship. This podcast connects you with the voices driving positive change in water quality, technology, and sustainability.


The Florida Specifier is among the first state-based news sources in the country published for environmental professionals. Hosts Ryan Matthews and Brett Cypher have wide-ranging discussions with Florida environmental agency members and others about Florida water policies and activities.


waterloop is an award-winning nonprofit news outlet exploring solutions for sustainability in water. Through documentaries, podcasts, short videos, and social media, waterloop’s storytelling highlights the people and projects making a positive impact on water across the United States.




Our Water Podcast tells you about real case studies, market trends, and technology breakthroughs. Topics include digital water, water & wastewater reuse, water entrepreneurship and much more.





Talking Under Water is a One Water podcast for the water industry. Editors from Endeavor’s Water Group highlight news, trends, new technologies, industry discussions and interviews with experts. Topics covered include water and wastewater treatment, stormwater and erosion control, diversity, regulations/legislation, flooding, circular water economy, water scarcity, small systems, emerging contaminants, smart water and more.


H2O Radio

H2O Radio’s reporting—heard on community and public radio stations across the U.S.—isn’t just journalism about rivers and lakes. Water is integral to energy, manufacturing, and health. It’s also at the core of the climate crisis, which is told through drought, extreme weather, floods, melting glaciers, sea level rise, and more. Rather than tell that narrative solely through statistics and charts, we talk with people about how a changing world is changing their lives, and hear what their experiences can teach us about adaptation and living a more sustainable future together.

Scaling Up! H2O Podcast


At Scaling UP! H2O we believe in providing easily accessible educational content for professionals working in the best industry in the world, industrial water treatment. Because of our drive to present the very best digital media for professionals in the water industry, we air weekly podcast episodes, share daily digital content on social media, and have recently created a brand-new library of online courses specifically for water treaters to help them reach their professional goals.

DRINKING WATER TREATMENT IN FLORIDA

How is Your Drinking Water Treated to Ensure Safety? Source water (sometimes called "raw" water) is pumped through pipelines to a Water Treatment Plant (WTP) , where it goes through processes to remove contaminants.  Many utilities have more than one WTP. There are often multiple wells or other sources. Having multiple facilities provides redundancy, which is especially important in case of emergencies or natural disasters. The WTPs are usually located as close to the source as possible, which reduces the cost for pipeline construction and pumping.  The type of treatment needed to provide safe drinking water depends upon the quality of the source water.  For instance, in northeast Florida, most of the water comes from a confined portion of Floridan Aquifer (a confined aquifer) 800 to 1200 feet below the earth's surface. A confined aquifer is one that is covered by a rock, clay, or sediment layer that slows down or prevents groundwater flow. This water is very pure and req...

HOW DOES DRINKING WATER GET TO YOUR TAP?

  The Water Distribution System Once the water has been treated to meet all federal, state, and local regulations for drinking water, it is pumped into storage tanks . Storage allows for fluctuations in water usage and holds enough water for emergencies and fire protection. Some of these are ground storage tanks and others may be elevated tanks (water towers). Elevated tanks not only store water, but help to regulate pressure in the system.  Pumps then send drinking water into the water distribution system . Pumps provide pressure in the system, usually around 60 to 75 pounds per square inch (psi), allowing water to flow into buildings throughout the community.  Note that in Florida, a measurable disinfectant (chlorine or chloramine) must be added to the water just before entering the distribution system. A minimum chlorine residual of 0.2 parts per million or milligrams per liter (mg/L) must be maintained throughout the system - to the furthest point from the water tr...

FLORIDA DRINKING WATER SOURCES

What is the source of drinking water in Florida? The answer is. . . it depends on your location.  Most Florida communities rely on groundwater , typically from underground aquifers . Certain utilities use surface water (rivers, lakes and reservoirs) a source. Some areas of the state, such as Tampa, blend water sources, including from seawater . An aquifer is an underground layer of rock, sand, or gravel that stores water—like a huge natural sponge beneath our feet. Rainwater seeps through the soil and eventually collects in the spaces within these layers. In Florida, most aquifers are made of porous limestone that lets water flow easily, almost like an extremely slow-moving underground river.  Aquifers also supply wells and springs throughout the state. The Floridan Aquifer , one of the most productive in the world, supplies much of the state's drinking water. It supplies water to almost 10 million people as well as industries and agriculture. It extends across several state...
