New England waterways were one of the best things about the region, attracting colonists with ample water to drink, water for power and water for transportation. The first colonies chose locations on the coast for commerce and travel but were mindful to ensure access to pure drinking water. Their original choices reflected their modest size. Often a clear spring or brook would be the chosen center of a new community. Water in New England before colonization New England was blessed with features that provided much help to development of early water supplies. For one thing, there were abundant natural ponds and lakes. For another thing, there was enough elevation change and transmissive soil to provide good recharge to rivers and to create springs and artesian groundwater flow.

The Chair will revise the document and send out via email. She also provided a draft memo to BOS for transmittal of the proposal. Fresh Water Pond Data: Carolyn and Judy used Excel spreadsheets to input and display pond data from 16 ponds. These are being sent to Ed Eichner, Water Scientist, for his work with the Freshwater Ponds Management Planning Work Group. He will combine this data with the results of the chemical analyses done by SMAST and other labs to give an analysis of the health of each pond. This data will be used to prioritize ponds for future individual management plans. Carolyn led a discussion of the unusual factors that can affect individual ponds which included large populations of gulls and ducks being attracted to Crystal lake in the past, very cold groundwater in Boland Pond, and the growth of plants within ponds. Carol remarked that she had seen a Glacier Bay Presentation with excellent graphics that she thought might be useful for the display of pond data.

    State of the Waters: Cape Cod 2019 Cape Cod Water Health Report State of the Waters: Cape Cod 2019 Cape Cod Water Health Report Association to Preserve Cape Cod October 1, 2019 Prepared by: Andrew Gottlieb, Jo Ann Muramoto, Ph.D., Jordanne Feldman, Bryan Horsley, Kristin Andres and Don Keeran 1. Introduction The State of the Waters: Cape Cod is an assessment of the Cape’s water quality, designed to help you understand the water quality problems that we face and the actions that are needed to address these problems. The Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC) launched this project in 2019 in order to answer the question: “How healthy are Cape Cod’s waters?” This website is the place to find out about the Cape’s water quality and what can be done to address water pollution and achieve clean water. For this multi-year project, APCC collected existing data on water quality on Cape Cod for the purpose of determining the health of Cape Cod’s waters. APCC evaluated water quality in coastal waters (saltwater), freshwater ponds and lakes, and public drinking water supplies. APCC used existing methods to score water quality and used the scores to distinguish between degraded surface waters where immediate action is needed to improve water quality vs. surface waters with acceptable quality where ongoing protection is needed to avoid any decline in quality. The results are summarized in this annual water health report. To guide public action, APCC prepared a Water Action Plan that contains recommendations for changes in policies, actions, and regulations to improve and protect our waters.
