Kesha is correct that we are doing a lot already to be stewards of our hydrosphere, but Ron makes a fair point that more can still be done. While we have laws to protect water quality, monitor conditions, and treat wastewater, stricter standards and further investment could help preserve this vital resource for future generations in the face of growing demands and climate change. Both viewpoints deserve consideration in ongoing efforts to balance environmental protection with economic needs.

WHAT’S IN YOUR WATER?
PreviousNext
We take for granted the water we use to brush our teeth, wash our clothes and keep our lawns green. However, water is an extremely limited resource on the planet and we need to conserve and protect it from pollution. Today you will learn how the levels of chemicals (natural and added) are measured in different sources of water and learn whether they are a danger to your health.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In this laboratory you will learn:
· To identify what factors can contribute to water quality
· To use negative and positive controls to validate experimental results
· To use laboratory techniques to test for the presence of chemicals/molecules in our water
· To find other resources of information on water quality
ACTIVITIES
What you will do in lab today-
· Each pair of students will choose a sample of water to test
· Each pair of students will perform assays on their water sample to determine whether it contains iron, chlorine, ammonia, calcium or magnesium, nitrates and oxygen
· Each pair will report their results on their water sample

· Lab report (75): This is your first lab report of the semester – make sure you read the resources on writing a lab report and use the rubric – you can link to those here.
INTRODUCTION

Water is a chemical (H2O) that all life depends on. It makes up about 60% of the human body and our cells and organ systems are dependent on its unique characteristics. It is an important solvent, which means that many things dissolve into it (see below for a short list). For example, table salt easily dissolves in water. Also, water naturally has a pH of 7, but when other chemicals are present the pH can change. When pH decreases, we call that acidic.
As human population grow, so do their needs for, including their need for water. Many researchers believe that in the next 20 years over half the world’s population will have a shortage of potable or drinkable water. Despite the fact that 75% of the surface of earth is covered in water, 97% is salt water in the oceans and another 2% is frozen in glaciers, leaving us with less than 1% to use. Scientists hope to develop methods to increase potable water using desalination techniques, but in the meantime we have to take care not to contaminate or pollute our current drinkable water sources.
Toxins in the water are absorbed or consumed by primary producers and primary consumers – those “low”on the food chain – like bacteria, algae, protists and invertebrates. As toxins are transferred “up the food chain” or from one trophic level to the next, they are concentrated and become even more toxic to the organism. This phenomenon is called bioaccumulation or biologic magnification (Figure 1). This is one reason that humans need to be concerned about pollution in natural rivers and lakes in addition to our public drinking water.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

LEQ: How do we show our stewardship for
the limited natural resources in our
hydrosphere?
1. Why would you rather have a lake house next to a
lake with low turbidity?
2. What would you want the pH of your drinking
water to be?
3. What causes algal blooms?
4. What are bio-indicators used for?
5. Copy and complete: As the temperature of water
increases, the amount of dissolved oxygen
[increases/decreases].
7. Today’s LEQ: How do we show our
stewardship for the limited natural
resources in our hydrosphere?
By the end of today, you should be able to…
1. List three ways that we are being stewards for
our environment
2. Explain two ways that we treat wastewater
3. Explain the trade-offs that we face by
protecting our hydrosphere
11. CONTEXT CLUES:
“She is a steward for the environment. She
makes sure that she recycles, conserves
electricity, and teaches others about ways to
care for the earth. ”
“He shows great stewardship for animals. He
works at an animal shelter on the
weekends, raises money for homeless dogs
and cats, and helps pets get adopted into a
good home.” Stop and Jot: Write your own definition of
12. How could you be a
steward for the
environment if there was
another oil spill?
13. Ways YOU can be a steward for our
hydrosphere:
• Turn off the water while brushing your
teeth
• Put a bottle of rocks in your toilet tank
so that less water is used each flush
• Only wash full loads of laundry
• Take shorter showers
• Only run your dishwasher when it is
full
14. How do we show
our stewardship
for the
hydrosphere?
15. How do we show our
stewardship for the hydrosphere?
We PASS LAWS

AND
water : water:
REGULATIONS to
protect water:
16. We MONITOR water :
-we measure the quality of the
water around us to make sure that it
stays healthy
Ex: -pH levels
What are the different things we
-bioindicators
measure to tell if our water is
-nitrate levels
healthy or unhealthy?
-temperature
-dissolved oxygen level
-turbidity
17. What can we determine about the
water quality of this lake over
time? Is it getting healthier or less
healthy and how do you know?!
Tempera Turbidity Dissolved Acidity Nutrient Algae
ture Oxygen Level Count
March 65 30 NTU 10 ppm pH = 7.1 Nitrates: 100
degrees .1 ppm colonies
April 80 55 NTU 11 ppm pH = 9.2 Nitrates: 300
degrees .96 ppm colonies
May 90 120 NTU 15 ppm pH = Nitrates: 350
degrees 12.4 1.5 ppm colonies
18. We TREAT water:
Wastewater treatment plant: removes
city waste from water and puts clean
water back into lakes or tributaries
21. Life before wastewater treatment plants…
Many cities had no sewers and
relied on nearby rivers or
occasional rain to wash away
sewage. In some cities, waste
water simply ran down the
streets, which had stepping
stones to keep pedestrians out of
the muck, and eventually drained
as runoff into the local
watershed. This was enough in
early cities with few occupants
but the growth of cities
quickly overpolluted streets and
became a constant source of
disease.
23. We TREAT water:
Wastewater treatment plant: removes
city waste from water and puts clean
water back into lakes or tributaries
Septic system: removes waste from water
you use in your house

31. Make a brochure to explain your decision!
Your brochure should include:
-3 things that we are currently doing to be stewards for
our hydrosphere
-4 reasons for why you think our water quality
standards should be more strict or less strict
32. Summarizer:
