Article #3 Blog Post #5

The article "The 'Solution' to Pollution is Still 'Dilution'" is about the C-SAW (Campaign to Safeguard America's Waters) campaign who's working on getting rid of mixing zones using dilution. A mixing zone is where "an area of a lake or river where pollutants from a point source discharge are mixed, usually by natural means, with cleaner water."

Dilution is the reduction in the concentration of a chemical (gas,liquid, solid). The reason why dilution is important in this context is because the C-SAW campaign is basically trying to stop mixing zones and by using dilution. C-SAW is currently working on helping fight a mixing zone in Puerto Rico for a municipal sewage treatment plan in the coastal town of Barceloneta.
