This document discusses the external costs and public health threats of nutrient pollution from agricultural watersheds in Iowa. It notes the persistent problem of high pollutant levels in Iowa's surface waters, especially nutrients from agriculture. While approximately 90% of Iowa's food is imported, drainage systems are increasing water quantity but reducing quality by transporting nitrates and other contaminants. The document outlines the key pollutant concerns for Des Moines' source water and details a lawsuit by Des Moines Water Works in response to escalating nitrate risks. It argues for treating pollution at its source and holding agriculture accountable for environmental protection.

The document summarizes a study that investigated the effects of total sleep deprivation on visual search abilities and short-term memory performance. 14 college students completed two cognitive tasks - a visual search task and the Brown-Peterson task - following a night of total sleep deprivation and again following a night of normal sleep. The results showed that total sleep deprivation had detrimental effects on visual filtering efficiency and encoding of information to short-term memory. This confirms previous research findings that sleep deprivation impairs cognitive functions like working memory, attention, and higher-order thinking.
