Hello!

Let's start the week with a really important question: Game four is today - will it be The Red Sox or The Yankees? With that said, we'd better get to the water news. Big stories from around the world this week as the United Nations calls for greater investments to  improve the ongoing global water crisis, a research project reveals that soldiers may be able to generate water from their diesel engines; and come see what one Chinese water purifier salesman did to increase his sales.

A little closer to home: a new study warns of the pollution in the Great Lakes; a toxic red tide blankets the coast of Maine; and the state of New Hampshire sues 22 major oil companies over MTBE. Plus, the state of West Virginia settles with a coal company over major slurry spill, and the ongoing Potomac River fight heads to the Supreme Court.
