The following web-links are recommended for visitors looking for more information on water resources and corrosion control of our nation's water infrastructure.

Liquid Assets: http://liquidassets.psu.edu

Liquid Assets is a public media and outreach initiative that seeks to inform the nation about the critical role that our water infrastructure plays in protecting public health and promoting economic prosperity. Combining a 90-minute documentary with a community tool kit for facilitating local involvement, Liquid Assets explores the history, engineering, and political and economic challenges of our water infrastructure, and engages communities in local discussion about public water and wastewater issues.

American Water Works Website: http://www.awwa.org
AWWA is the authoritative resource on safe water, providing knowledge, information and advocacy to improve the quality and supply of water in North America and beyond. AWWA advances public health, safety and welfare by uniting the efforts of the full spectrum of the water community.

Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF): http://www.waterresearchfoundation.org
The Water Research Foundation is a member-supported, international, nonprofit organization that sponsors research to enable water utilities, public health agencies, and other professionals to provide safe and affordable drinking water to consumers.

Great Lakes Water Wars: http://www.greatlakeswaterwars.com
The Great Lakes are the largest collection of fresh surface water on earth, and more than 40 million Americans and Canadians live in their basin. Will we divert water from the Great Lakes, causing them to end up like Central Asia's Aral Sea, which has lost 90 percent of its surface area and 75 percent of its volume since 1960? Or will we come to see that unregulated water withdrawals are ultimately catastrophic? Peter Annin writes a fast-paced account of the people and stories behind these battles. Destined to be the definitive story for the general public as well as policymakers, The Great Lakes Water Wars is a balanced, comprehensive look behind the scenes at the conflicts and compromises that are the past-and future-of this globally significant resource.

Urban Infrastructure Institute for Research in Construction (IRC)
National Research Council (NRC) of Canada: http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/programs/irc/ui
NRC-IRC's Urban Infrastructure program develops innovative models and cost-effective technologies and tools for the performance prediction, design, rehabilitation, evaluation, and management of buried utilities.

Water Footprint: http://www.waterfootprint.org

The minimum water that each person requires, on average, for drinking, hygiene and growing food is about 1,000 cubic meters per year. That's about 2/5 of an olympic size swimming pool. You can figure out your own water footprint using the calculator (quick and more extensive versions) on this site as well learn the total water required to produce various products.

This government web site provides access to EPA’s publications which may aide you in locating water infrastructure reports and related information.

NACE International Website: http://www.nace.org
The National Association of Corrosion Engineers was established in 1943 by eleven corrosion engineers in the pipeline industry. These founding members were involved in a regional cathodic protection group formed in the 1930s, when the study of cathodic protection was introduced. With more than fifty years of experience in developing corrosion prevention and control standards, NACE International has become the largest organization in the world committed to the study of corrosion.
