Reuse of the water cannot oc cur if the water is degraded by Clinton County Soil Conservation District by pollution. Pollution control therefore is of the utmost im portance in coping with the over all water situation! We pollute for Outstanding Accomplishments in Soil Conservation and Management water in many ways. A few otthe ways are septic tanks and raw sewerage discharging directly into ditches, streams, and lakes. * * OUR SOIL IS STRENGTH... SOAPS AND detergents are very slow to break down and can readily be found in water. Our factories have wastes that are The Way We Use it - OUR FUTURE very difficult to dispose of and some of these escape and can be found in our surface waters. We, as farmers, contribute to the problem further by using insec ticides, herbicides, manure, and fertilizer and then letting our fields erode, taking small parti cles of clay off the field into the drainage ditches. With these par ticles of eroded soil, relatively insoluble minerals may be car ried off, contributing further to water pollution. Maybe we should look a little further to see what polluted wa ter is.
