Navajo Nation Water Quality Project

Sun, 23 Jan 2011 18:42:52 -0500

The Navajo Nation Water Quality Project makes Navajo Nation water quality information available for the first time online.

Many parts of the Navajo Indian reservation in the southwestern U.S. are contaminated with radioactive debris left over from Cold War uranium mining. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency did extensive water sampling in the 1990s to determine which Navajo water sources were contaminated and which were safe to drink from, but this data was never made available to the public in an accessible form. The Navajo Nation Water Quality project seeks to address that.
