• Revised Lead and Copper Rule: Testing at schools and child-care facilities As schools begin returning to session, water utilities across the United States are busy preparing for fall 2024 when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) will require a new level of communication and cooperation with schools and child-care providers. School districts can be great partners, providing utilities a way to tell their water story through public education and inspiring a new generation who may one day be water operators. But schools operate very differently than many government agencies – from their funding sources to staffing and overall culture. Getting ready to be LCRR compliant means water systems must pay special attention to the needs of school districts and how to best collaborate with them.  Water utilities are required to provide schools and child-care facilities with a copy of EPA’s Training, Testing and Taking Action (3T’s) for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Child Care Facilities, as part of the LCRR sampling process. Utilities must sample at least 20% of elementary schools and 20% of child-care facilities in their service areas for the following five ...
• News reports on lead in Detroit schools Water utilities should be aware of current news reports on a decision to shut off access to drinking water in Detroit schools. With the start of the new school year, these stories may prompt questions from media and customers in other communities about lead levels in schools. Water utilities should be prepared to express their commitment to protecting children from lead in drinking water, including describing how they communicate with schools and daycare facilities in their service areas. Key points to elevate include: •    Our first priority as water providers is the protection of public health. •    Lead is typically not found in the water leaving our treatment or traveling through water mains. However, it may be present in school plumbing, as well as drinking water bubblers or coolers. •    Our utility takes the following steps to assist schools in understanding and managing lead risks from drinking water [if applicable, provide examples of letters to school districts, sampling guidance, etc.] •    EPA developed a guidance document titled 3Ts (Training, Testing, Telling) for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools, which outlines ...
• Operator-in-training courses taught in high schools By Ann Espinola Darrell King has a big job. He’s head of the water utility in Evanston, Ill. where he oversees nearly three dozen employees and a treatment plant serving more than 400,000 customers. But he spends every Saturday morning in a North Chicago classroom, where he teaches high school students how to become water treatment operators.   The program is one man’s way of forestalling the impending water sector labor shortage created by Baby Boomer retirements, and giving back to the community where he grew up. It is also among a handful of high school operator-in-training programs throughout the United States. In Texas, for example, water utilities in Irving and Arlington are working with their local school districts to prepare graduating seniors to pass water and wastewater licensing exams. In Portland, Ct., the city, utility and local school district partnered seven years ago to offer an operator course at the high school, but the program was discontinued two years ago during a change in leadership at the utility. The city hopes to start it up again in January.  The Irving program began ...
• Florida Section program preps high schoolers for water treatment jobs So, when he started high school and learned about a program that prepares students for careers as water or wastewater treatment plant operators, it seemed like a natural fit.   “I knew this was a career I wanted to do,” said Schloss (pictured right), who graduated from St. Johns Technical High School in Northeast Florida three years ago and is now a C-licensed wastewater operator at St. Johns County Utilities. “It’s nice knowing you’re doing something good for the environment. And it’s a job most people don’t know much about. They think water goes down the drain or the toilet and that’s the end of it.” The Florida Section of American Water Works Association (FSAWWA) received the 2020 Section Education Award for its High School Academy Program. The need to hire well-trained operators to replace retiring employees is urgent — in AWWA’s 2020 State of the Water Industry, respondents ranked “aging workforce/anticipated retirements” as one of the top 10 challenges facing the water industry. “If we can find people who have already taken courses, taken exams, people who know what they’re getting ...
• Kids safe to sip from school faucets, thanks to CECorps and AWWA section The school serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade and hosts community activities. The water system in the building had intermittently experienced high concentrations of lead in its water supply, which comes from a single well. Samples from specific faucets had lead levels of 40 parts per billion (ppb), exceeding the State of Washington’s lead action level of 15 ppb (90th percentile). A CECorps team of PNWS-AWWA volunteers, led by Lynn Williams Stephens (pictured right) and John Roth (pictured below), visited the site in the fall of 2016 and initiated measures to correct the situation. “We wanted a project that helped a low-income community address a water quality problem and the State of Washington Department of Health referred us to this school,” said Stephens, who works at Brown & Caldwell in Seattle. “I can’t think of a more important place than a school to try to reduce lead exposure. This also opened my eyes to the small-scale water systems I didn’t even know existed.” Volunteers in action The school did not have a full-time water operator and relied on contractors. In 2015, when ...

Climate Change and the Water Cycle

Stephanie Haan Amato, United States Department of Agriculture

This unit consists of seven distinct activities that teach climate change, the water cycle, and the effects of the changing climate on water resources through the use of games, science experiments, investigations, role-playing, research, and creating a final project to showcase learning.

Notes from our reviewers

The CLEAN collection is hand-picked and rigorously reviewed for scientific accuracy and classroom effectiveness. Read what our review team had to say about this resource below or learn more about how CLEAN reviews teaching materials .

• Teaching Tips Robust extension activities and resources for further research are included with each lesson. A Spanish version of the curriculum is available on the website: [link http://asombro.org/climate/]
• About the Science This resource focuses on topics such as climate change, the water cycle, and the effects of the changing climate on water resources. These diverse lessons each give thorough background information and use real data and up-to-date science studies to address the issues around climate change. Passed initial science review - expert science review pending.
• About the Pedagogy Each of the activities is highly engaging through the use of games, science experiments, investigations, role-playing, research, and creating a final project to showcase learning. The activities can be taught together or independently. Teaching them in sequence will aid students in the understanding of climate data and the effects of climate change on our earth. Students collect their own data in many activities and are encouraged to develop their reasoning skills. This collection of activities provides a variety of multi-media approaches including the hands-on activity, PowerPoint presentations, YouTube videos, and worksheets, that may appeal to an assortment of learning styles. Each activity provides an additional video and/or PowerPoint to support the educator in meeting the objectives of the activity. Vocabulary, video demonstrations, handouts to record data, comprehension questions, discussion questions, an answer key, and final grading rubrics are also provided. Insulating the Earth, Insulating You: Students conduct an experiment where they model the greenhouse effect using their own body heat, thermometers, towels, and space blankets. Weather or Climate: This activity facilitates the understanding of the difference between weather and climate using videos and examples. Good discussion questions are included. Evaporation Investigation: Students conduct an experiment to understand what factors affect the rate of evaporation in soil. This takes several days to complete. The Water Cycle Game: Students play the role of reservoirs and hydrologic processes to illustrate the movement of water in the water cycle. Very active basketball-type game. Streams and Steam: Chutes and Ladder style board game to understand the effects of climate change on the water cycle. Good extension reading activity at the end. Ready, Set, Grow: Students play the roles of water-intensive and drought-tolerant plants to understand the impacts of climate change on water, primary producers, and the food web. Great video that models how to set this game up in your classroom. A graphing activity and game variations are included for student engagement. Rainout Shelters: Students follow the scientific process by delving into the research project in New Mexico that shows how changes in precipitation affect desert plant growth.

• An Introduction to Water Resources

Let's Explore Various Resources of Water

Water is one of the most vital sources for all living organisms. Although water is a renewable resource, scarcity of quality water is still a big issue in many parts of the world. We need water for various purposes such as to grow food, keep clean, generate electricity, control fire, and most importantly to stay alive.

Types of Water Resources

Saltwater Resources: 

The planet's atmosphere is covered in saltwater. However, when it relates to potable water sources, saltwater is actually ineffective. Desalination plants, though they do operate, are in short supply due to the high energy costs associated with the operation.

Apart from spectacular ocean views, there have been saltwater opportunities through which humans gain profit. Saltwater fish is indeed a staple of many people's diets around the world. In addition, tidal waters have been used to generate hydroelectric power.

Groundwater Resources: 

Of all the freshwater resources, groundwater in the water natural resources is perhaps the most abundant. Part of the water that filters down into the soil via layers of dirt, clay , and rock stacks to the uppermost layers, providing water to the plants. 

This water is in the vadose region, which means it is unsaturated. Instead of water, almost all of the pores in the vadose zone are filled with air .

Inputs, outputs, and storage are the same for groundwater as they are for surface water. The crucial distinction is that, due to the slow turnover rate, groundwater storage is typically much greater (in volume) than surface water storage in comparison to inputs.

Because of this distinction, humans may use groundwater in an unsustainable manner over an extended period of time without suffering serious repercussions. Nonetheless, the average rate of drainage above a groundwater source is the upper limit for average groundwater use during the longer run.

Surface Water Resources: 

The water in lakes and rivers is known as surface water. Potable water, recreation, industry, agriculture, transportation, livestock, and hydroelectric energy are all uses for this water. 

Groundwater natural resources provide over 63 percent of the municipal water supply. Irrigation relies on surface water for 58 percent of all its water supply. Irrigation relies on groundwater for 58 percent of its water system. 

Surface water systems have nearly 98 percent of the water used by industry. As a result, maintaining and improving the surface water quality is critical. Watershed entities track streamflow and groundwater management on a regular basis. 

Flooding and drought conditions are predicted by monitoring streamflow. Since surface water provides most of the water used within the United States, water resources information and management are important. It is a chemical, biological, and physical test that determines how acceptable the water is. 

Electrical conductivity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen levels, phosphorus levels, bacteria levels, and nitrogen levels are evaluated as indicators of water quality.

Though earth is called the water planet as it is occupied by 75 percent of water, this water cannot be used for domestic purposes. Ocean water is saline in nature and is not fit for human consumption. Freshwater is just around 2.7 percent of the total water on the earth. Issues such as global warming and perpetuating water pollution have made a considerable amount of impact on making freshwater unfit for human consumption. 

Uses of Freshwater

Water resources are used in various fields such as agricultural, industrial, domestic, recreational, and environmental activities. Most of the uses require fresh water.

However, around 97 percent of the water on the earth is saltwater and only three percent is freshwater. About two-thirds of the available freshwater is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The remaining freshwater is found underground and a negligible portion of it is present on the ground or in the air.

The following are detailed views on how water is used in different sectors.

Agricultural Use

Agriculture accounts for about 69 per cent of all water consumption especially in agricultural economies like India. Agriculture thereby becomes the largest consumer of the Earth’s available freshwater.

By 2050, the global water demand for agriculture is estimated to increase by an additional 19% due to irrigation needs. Increasing irrigation needs are likely to put immense pressure on water storage. It is still not concluded whether further expansion of irrigation and additional water withdrawals from rivers and groundwater is possible in the future.

Industrial Use

Water is the lifesaver of the industry. It is used for various purposes such as a raw material coolant, a solvent, a transport agent, and as a source of energy. Manufacturing industries are considered to have a considerable share of the total industrial water consumption. Besides, paper and allied products, chemicals, and primary metals are major industrial users of water. Worldwide, the industry consumes around 19 percent of total water consumption. In industrialized countries, the industries use more than half of the water available for human use.

Domestic Use

It includes usages like drinking, cleaning, personal hygiene, garden care, cooking, washing of clothes, dishes, vehicles, etc. Since the end of World War II, there has been a trend of people migrating out of the country to the ever-expanding cities. This trend has an important role in our water resources.

The government and communities are in a need to provide large water-supply systems to deliver water to new growing populations and industries. Comparing all water consumption in the world, domestic uses about 12 percent of the total water consumed.

Use for Hydropower Generation

Electricity generated from water is called hydropower. Hydropower is one of the highly renewable sources of electricity in the world. It accounts for around 16 percent of the total electricity generated globally. There are numerous opportunities for hydropower development around the world.

At present, the leading hydropower generating countries are China, the US, Brazil, Canada, India, and Russia.

Use for Navigation and Recreation

Navigable waterways are defined as watercourses that can be used to transport interstate or foreign commerce. Moving of agricultural and commercial goods on the water is done on a large scale around various parts of the world.

Water is also used for recreational purposes like boating, swimming, and sporting activities. These usages affect the quality of water and pollute it. The highest priority should be given to public health and drinking water quality while permitting such activities in reservoirs, lakes, and rivers.

Overutilization of Surface and Groundwater

Water scarcity has become a big global issue. The UN has held several conventions on the water in recent decades. Continuous overutilization of surface and groundwater has led to increased water scarcity in the world today.

The depleting sources for high growth in the human population over the centuries and increased man-made water pollution across the world have created unforeseen water scarcity around the globe. As a result, there has been continuous overutilization of the existing water sources due to unconditional growth in the world population.

Groundwater is the major source of water in various parts of the world. However, there has been continuous depletion of this source due to its overexploitation by the rising human population and the rapid rise in industrialization and urbanization in modern times.

Consequences of Overutilization

Water scarcity has now become a very important topic in international diplomacy. From a small village to the United Nations, water scarcity is a widely-discussed topic in decision-making.

Nearly three billion people around the world suffer from water scarcity. International, intrastate and regional rivalries on the water are not new to the world. 

According to World Health Organization (WHO) sources, a combination of the rising global population, economic growth, and climate change means that by the year 2050, more than five billion (52%) of the world’s projected 9.7 billion people will live in areas with freshwater scarcity. Researchers estimated that about 1 billion more people will be living in areas where water demand will exceed surface-water supply.

Climate Change

Scientists, environmentalists, and biologists worldwide are now warning that climate change will have a major impact on the drainage pattern and hydrological cycle of the earth thereby affecting the surface and groundwater availability to a new extent.

Climate change is believed to raise the global temperature at an increasing pace. The increase in temperature affects the hydrological cycle by directly increasing the evaporation of available surface water and vegetation transpiration.

As a result, precipitation amount, timing, and intensity rates are largely affected. It impacts the storage of water in surface and subsurface reservoirs.

Water crisis is ever emerging in India and needs to be properly addressed. The onus of conservation lies with us, the people. Understanding the concept and use of water use, we can think of sustainable use.

INTRODUCTION In this presentation I’m going to show you how you conserve water, the importance of water, my prior knowledge, images of water, news of water, etc.

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE The water is the most important resource of the earth. It has many utilities like: taking a bath, clean de dishes, to cook, to brush our teeth, for recreation, etc. People make power plants, they use the water for making energy. We have to conserve water because people is damaging it.

WHAT ARE WATER RESOURCES? Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful to humans. Uses of water include agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities. Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water.

HOW DO PEOPLE USE WATER RESOURCES? 97% of water on the Earth is salt water, and only 3% is fresh water of which slightly over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.The remaining unfrozen freshwater is mainly found as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above ground or in the air. Fresh water is a renewable resource, yet the world's supply of clean, fresh water is steadily decreasing. Water demand already exceeds supply in many parts of the world and as the world population continues to rise, so too does the water demand.

WHY DO WE NEED WATER? Water is probably the most important resource on Earth. We need to grow and stay alive. In fact, we could only live for a few days without drinking water. We also need water to grow plants and care for animals, cook our food, bath and brush our teeth, flush the toilet, and wash our clothes.

WHY DO WE NEED TO SAVE WATER? Most of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. Ocean water is very salty. You can’t drink it or use it for growing plants, cooking food, bathing, or washing clothes. The water we use for these things is called freshwater. It comes from rain or snow that falls in rivers and lakes. It is also found stored in rocks beneath the ground. Some people don’t have enough freshwater where they live. It is important for everyone to conserve, or save, water so that there is enough for everyone.

WHAT ARE SOME WAYS TO CONSERVE WATER? In the United States, each person uses about 50 gallons of water a day. When people use water, they often waste a lot. Very large amounts of water go down the drain without being used. To conserve water, try some of these ideas: • Turn the water off while you are brushing your teeth or washing your face. • Check your home and school for leaky faucets, and tell an adult if you find one that drips. • Take shorter showers, and don’t fill the tub all the way when you take a bath. • Don’t leave the garden hose on all night when watering plants. • Make sure the dishwasher and washing machine are full each time your family does a load.

USES OF FRESH WATER Uses of fresh water can be categorized as consumptive and non-consumptive (sometimes called "renewable"). A use of water is consumptive if that water is not immediately available for another use.

AGRICULTURAL It is estimated that 69% of worldwide water use is for irrigation, In some areas of the world irrigation is necessary to grow any crop at all, in other areas it permits more profitable crops to be grown or enhances crop yield. Aquaculture is a small but growing agricultural use of water. Freshwater commercial fisheries may also be considered as agricultural uses of water.

INDUSTRIAL It is estimated that 22% of worldwide water use is industrial.Major industrial users include power plants, which use water for cooling or as a power source (i.e. hydroelectric plants), ore and oil refineries, which use water in chemical processes, and manufacturing plants, which use water as a solvent. The portion of industrial water usage that is consumptive varies widely, but as a whole is lower than agricultural use.

HOUSEHOLD It is estimated that 15% of worldwide water use is for household purposes. These include drinking water, bathing, cooking, sanitation, and gardening.

RECREATION Recreational water use is usually a very small but growing percentage of total water use. Recreational water use is mostly tied to reservoirs. Recreational usage may reduce the availability of water for other users at specific times and places.

ENVIRONMENTAL Explicit environmental water use is also a very small but growing percentage of total water use. Environmental water usage includes artificial wetlands, artificial lakes intended to create wildlife habitat, fish ladders , and water releases from reservoirs timed to help fish spawn.

Water scarcity and the climate crisis

By Robert C. Jones Jr. [email protected] 04-05-2024

The news hit developers like a sledgehammer: The state of Arizona, faced with a two-decades-long drought, would put the brakes on new home construction in the Phoenix area that depends on groundwater. 

While the decision, reached last year by Arizona Department of Water Resources, could likely spell the end of the rapid development that has made the Phoenix area one of the nation’s fastest growing metropolitan regions, it raises a much more serious question: How will the city and its surrounding areas deal with a water scarcity crisis that has been worsened by the effects of climate change? 

More than 2,000 miles away, a University of Miami College of Engineering researcher and his team may hold the answer. In a recently released report, they detail measures by which residents in new and existing single-family homes in Phoenix and in three other water-stressed communities can improve their water usage. 

“Rapid urbanization and rising water use, which put stress on centralized systems, provide significant difficulties for urban water infrastructure,” Esber Andiroglu, associate professor of practice in the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and the lead author of the report, wrote. “Historically, cities have relied on these systems, but those systems are unable to meet the growing needs and are made worse by problems including resource-intensive operations, outdated infrastructure, and inefficient energy use.” 

Released by the College of Engineering’s Sustainability and Resiliency Adaptation Laboratory, or SUREAL, the report recommends that Phoenix—as well as Houston, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Des Moines, Iowa—can save billions of gallons of water each year by adopting decentralized methods such as using more water-efficient plumbing fixtures and appliances; harvesting rainwater and collecting condensation from HVAC systems, both of which can be used to water lawns, wash cars, and flush toilets; and treating and reusing wastewater. 

“Across Phoenix and Las Vegas, characterized by arid climates with limited rainfall, water-saving fixture installation and grey water harvesting systems are pivotal for water conservation,” the researchers wrote. “Conversely, in Des Moines and Houston, where rainfall is more abundant but still subject to seasonal variability, optimizing water usage through efficient fixture installation and grey water recycling becomes paramount.” 

Phoenix, for example, could save 16.1 billion gallons of water each year by implementing some of the measures recommended in the report, while homes in Houston could save over 15.67 billion gallons of water annually, Andiroglu pointed out.

He recently presented the findings of the report, “ Water Conservation and Codes: Leveraging Global Water-Efficient Building Standards to Avert Shortfalls ,” at the first Water Conservation Summit in Washington, D.C., hosted by the International Code Council (ICC). 

The ICC and EXP, a global engineering, architecture, design, and consulting firm, partnered with Andiroglu and his team on the report. The water-conservation strategies outlined in it are contained in the ICC’s 2021 International Water Conservation Code Provisions. 

“At the moment, those provisions are only recommendations,” Andiroglu said. “But if they were to become mandates rather than voluntary, the benefits for communities could be tremendous.” 

With some 700 million people in danger of being displaced by severe water scarcity by 2030, the report comes at a critical juncture, he explained. Over the next 50 years, nearly half of the freshwater basins in the U.S. may not be able to meet monthly water demands, with shortages anticipated in the central and southern Great Plains, the Southwest, and central Rocky Mountain states, as well as in parts of California, the South, and the Midwest, he said. 

Andiroglu and his team—Murat Erkoc, an associate professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and graduate research assistant Guna Medavarapu—are now conducting research as part of the second phase of their study, which focuses on water-saving measures for larger residential buildings. The third phase of their study will look at provisions for commercial structures. 

“We’ll also scale up our research outside of the U.S., looking at Latin America, the Middle East, Australia, and Asia,” Andiroglu said. 

Driven by population growth, economic development, and other factors, water use has surged globally over the past century, according to the report. “This has led to a situation where many regions already struggle with water scarcity,” it reads, “and the situation is expected to worsen in the coming decades as a result of climate change impacts.”

Born and raised in Cyprus, one of six countries identified by the World Resources Institute as facing the greatest water scarcity in the world, Andiroglu knows better than anyone the importance of conserving water. 

“As an island nation, Cyprus has always experienced water shortages, especially during the very hot summer months,” he said. “Growing up, I was reminded about water conservation daily by my parents with basic daily routines such as limiting the duration of showers and watering lawns or washing cars only on days when there was a steady water supply from the central utility. Water conservation was instinctively engraved in my family’s lifestyle. So, this report hits home for me.”

Common Stormwater Planning Topics

• Stormwater Planning Home
• Common Topics
• Community Pilot Projects

Communities around the country may have similar themes in the topics they would like to address in the long-term stormwater planning process. EPA collaborated with four communities to help them pursue long-term stormwater planning. The four  community pilot projects focused on the following topics. 

Asset Management

Financing/funding, stormwater infrastructure opportunities, roadway projects, stakeholder involvement, development and redevelopment policies.

Asset management focuses on data-driven actions and procedures that help communities take a proactive approach to managing stormwater infrastructure rather than focusing on short-term, reactive approaches. It can help communities better leverage resources, ensure adequate operation and maintenance, address flood mitigation, and keep better track of expected pollutant reductions. Asset management programs can be integrated into capital improvement plans and community financial plans.

To sustainably support a successful stormwater program and the implementation of infrastructure projects, communities must provide sufficient funding to support costs for administrative support, design, construction, operation, and maintenance over time. Communities have a variety of funding and financing mechanisms available for stormwater management including dedicated municipal revenue sources as well as external financing options that can be combined to create a funding portfolio that meets program funding needs.

Financing/Funding Resources

Identifying a variety of stakeholders and actively engaging them throughout the long-term stormwater planning process is essential. It is critical to connect with stakeholders both before setting long-term goals and throughout the planning process. Maintaining open communication with stakeholders ensures that all view points are considered in the planning process.

Stakeholder Involvement Resources

How can I plan what to eat or drink when I have diabetes?

How can physical activity help manage my diabetes, what can i do to reach or maintain a healthy weight, should i quit smoking, how can i take care of my mental health, clinical trials for healthy living with diabetes.

Healthy living is a way to manage diabetes . To have a healthy lifestyle, take steps now to plan healthy meals and snacks, do physical activities, get enough sleep, and quit smoking or using tobacco products.

Healthy living may help keep your body’s blood pressure , cholesterol , and blood glucose level, also called blood sugar level, in the range your primary health care professional recommends. Your primary health care professional may be a doctor, a physician assistant, or a nurse practitioner. Healthy living may also help prevent or delay health problems  from diabetes that can affect your heart, kidneys, eyes, brain, and other parts of your body.

Making lifestyle changes can be hard, but starting with small changes and building from there may benefit your health. You may want to get help from family, loved ones, friends, and other trusted people in your community. You can also get information from your health care professionals.

What you choose to eat, how much you eat, and when you eat are parts of a meal plan. Having healthy foods and drinks can help keep your blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels in the ranges your health care professional recommends. If you have overweight or obesity, a healthy meal plan—along with regular physical activity, getting enough sleep, and other healthy behaviors—may help you reach and maintain a healthy weight. In some cases, health care professionals may also recommend diabetes medicines that may help you lose weight, or weight-loss surgery, also called metabolic and bariatric surgery.

Choose healthy foods and drinks

There is no right or wrong way to choose healthy foods and drinks that may help manage your diabetes. Healthy meal plans for people who have diabetes may include

• dairy or plant-based dairy products
• nonstarchy vegetables
• protein foods
• whole grains

Try to choose foods that include nutrients such as vitamins, calcium , fiber , and healthy fats . Also try to choose drinks with little or no added sugar , such as tap or bottled water, low-fat or non-fat milk, and unsweetened tea, coffee, or sparkling water.

Try to plan meals and snacks that have fewer

• foods high in saturated fat
• foods high in sodium, a mineral found in salt
• sugary foods , such as cookies and cakes, and sweet drinks, such as soda, juice, flavored coffee, and sports drinks

Your body turns carbohydrates , or carbs, from food into glucose, which can raise your blood glucose level. Some fruits, beans, and starchy vegetables—such as potatoes and corn—have more carbs than other foods. Keep carbs in mind when planning your meals.

You should also limit how much alcohol you drink. If you take insulin  or certain diabetes medicines , drinking alcohol can make your blood glucose level drop too low, which is called hypoglycemia . If you do drink alcohol, be sure to eat food when you drink and remember to check your blood glucose level after drinking. Talk with your health care team about your alcohol-drinking habits.

Find the best times to eat or drink

Talk with your health care professional or health care team about when you should eat or drink. The best time to have meals and snacks may depend on

• what medicines you take for diabetes
• what your level of physical activity or your work schedule is
• whether you have other health conditions or diseases

Ask your health care team if you should eat before, during, or after physical activity. Some diabetes medicines, such as sulfonylureas  or insulin, may make your blood glucose level drop too low during exercise or if you skip or delay a meal.

Plan how much to eat or drink

You may worry that having diabetes means giving up foods and drinks you enjoy. The good news is you can still have your favorite foods and drinks, but you might need to have them in smaller portions  or enjoy them less often.

For people who have diabetes, carb counting and the plate method are two common ways to plan how much to eat or drink. Talk with your health care professional or health care team to find a method that works for you.

Carb counting

Carbohydrate counting , or carb counting, means planning and keeping track of the amount of carbs you eat and drink in each meal or snack. Not all people with diabetes need to count carbs. However, if you take insulin, counting carbs can help you know how much insulin to take.

Plate method

The plate method helps you control portion sizes  without counting and measuring. This method divides a 9-inch plate into the following three sections to help you choose the types and amounts of foods to eat for each meal.

• Nonstarchy vegetables—such as leafy greens, peppers, carrots, or green beans—should make up half of your plate.
• Carb foods that are high in fiber—such as brown rice, whole grains, beans, or fruits—should make up one-quarter of your plate.
• Protein foods—such as lean meats, fish, dairy, or tofu or other soy products—should make up one quarter of your plate.

If you are not taking insulin, you may not need to count carbs when using the plate method.

Work with your health care team to create a meal plan that works for you. You may want to have a diabetes educator  or a registered dietitian  on your team. A registered dietitian can provide medical nutrition therapy , which includes counseling to help you create and follow a meal plan. Your health care team may be able to recommend other resources, such as a healthy lifestyle coach, to help you with making changes. Ask your health care team or your insurance company if your benefits include medical nutrition therapy or other diabetes care resources.

Talk with your health care professional before taking dietary supplements

There is no clear proof that specific foods, herbs, spices, or dietary supplements —such as vitamins or minerals—can help manage diabetes. Your health care professional may ask you to take vitamins or minerals if you can’t get enough from foods. Talk with your health care professional before you take any supplements, because some may cause side effects or affect how well your diabetes medicines work.

Research shows that regular physical activity helps people manage their diabetes and stay healthy. Benefits of physical activity may include

• lower blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels
• better heart health
• healthier weight
• better mood and sleep
• better balance and memory

Talk with your health care professional before starting a new physical activity or changing how much physical activity you do. They may suggest types of activities based on your ability, schedule, meal plan, interests, and diabetes medicines. Your health care professional may also tell you the best times of day to be active or what to do if your blood glucose level goes out of the range recommended for you.

Do different types of physical activity

People with diabetes can be active, even if they take insulin or use technology such as insulin pumps .

Try to do different kinds of activities . While being more active may have more health benefits, any physical activity is better than none. Start slowly with activities you enjoy. You may be able to change your level of effort and try other activities over time. Having a friend or family member join you may help you stick to your routine.

The physical activities you do may need to be different if you are age 65 or older , are pregnant , or have a disability or health condition . Physical activities may also need to be different for children and teens . Ask your health care professional or health care team about activities that are safe for you.

Aerobic activities

Aerobic activities make you breathe harder and make your heart beat faster. You can try walking, dancing, wheelchair rolling, or swimming. Most adults should try to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week. Aim to do 30 minutes a day on most days of the week. You don’t have to do all 30 minutes at one time. You can break up physical activity into small amounts during your day and still get the benefit. 1

Strength training or resistance training

Strength training or resistance training may make your muscles and bones stronger. You can try lifting weights or doing other exercises such as wall pushups or arm raises. Try to do this kind of training two times a week. 1

Balance and stretching activities

Balance and stretching activities may help you move better and have stronger muscles and bones. You may want to try standing on one leg or stretching your legs when sitting on the floor. Try to do these kinds of activities two or three times a week. 1

Some activities that need balance may be unsafe for people with nerve damage or vision problems caused by diabetes. Ask your health care professional or health care team about activities that are safe for you.

Stay safe during physical activity

Staying safe during physical activity is important. Here are some tips to keep in mind.

Drink liquids

Drinking liquids helps prevent dehydration , or the loss of too much water in your body. Drinking water is a way to stay hydrated. Sports drinks often have a lot of sugar and calories , and you don’t need them for most moderate physical activities.

Avoid low blood glucose

Check your blood glucose level before, during, and right after physical activity. Physical activity often lowers the level of glucose in your blood. Low blood glucose levels may last for hours or days after physical activity. You are most likely to have low blood glucose if you take insulin or some other diabetes medicines, such as sulfonylureas.

Ask your health care professional if you should take less insulin or eat carbs before, during, or after physical activity. Low blood glucose can be a serious medical emergency that must be treated right away. Take steps to protect yourself. You can learn how to treat low blood glucose , let other people know what to do if you need help, and use a medical alert bracelet.

Avoid high blood glucose and ketoacidosis

Taking less insulin before physical activity may help prevent low blood glucose, but it may also make you more likely to have high blood glucose. If your body does not have enough insulin, it can’t use glucose as a source of energy and will use fat instead. When your body uses fat for energy, your body makes chemicals called ketones .

High levels of ketones in your blood can lead to a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) . DKA is a medical emergency that should be treated right away. DKA is most common in people with type 1 diabetes . Occasionally, DKA may affect people with type 2 diabetes  who have lost their ability to produce insulin. Ask your health care professional how much insulin you should take before physical activity, whether you need to test your urine for ketones, and what level of ketones is dangerous for you.

Take care of your feet

People with diabetes may have problems with their feet because high blood glucose levels can damage blood vessels and nerves. To help prevent foot problems, wear comfortable and supportive shoes and take care of your feet  before, during, and after physical activity.

If you have diabetes, managing your weight  may bring you several health benefits. Ask your health care professional or health care team if you are at a healthy weight  or if you should try to lose weight.

If you are an adult with overweight or obesity, work with your health care team to create a weight-loss plan. Losing 5% to 7% of your current weight may help you prevent or improve some health problems  and manage your blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels. 2 If you are worried about your child’s weight  and they have diabetes, talk with their health care professional before your child starts a new weight-loss plan.

You may be able to reach and maintain a healthy weight by

• following a healthy meal plan
• consuming fewer calories
• being physically active
• getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night 3

If you have type 2 diabetes, your health care professional may recommend diabetes medicines that may help you lose weight.

Online tools such as the Body Weight Planner  may help you create eating and physical activity plans. You may want to talk with your health care professional about other options for managing your weight, including joining a weight-loss program  that can provide helpful information, support, and behavioral or lifestyle counseling. These options may have a cost, so make sure to check the details of the programs.

Your health care professional may recommend weight-loss surgery  if you aren’t able to reach a healthy weight with meal planning, physical activity, and taking diabetes medicines that help with weight loss.

If you are pregnant , trying to lose weight may not be healthy. However, you should ask your health care professional whether it makes sense to monitor or limit your weight gain during pregnancy.

Both diabetes and smoking —including using tobacco products and e-cigarettes—cause your blood vessels to narrow. Both diabetes and smoking increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke , nerve damage , kidney disease , eye disease , or amputation . Secondhand smoke can also affect the health of your family or others who live with you.

If you smoke or use other tobacco products, stop. Ask for help . You don’t have to do it alone.

Feeling stressed, sad, or angry can be common for people with diabetes. Managing diabetes or learning to cope with new information about your health can be hard. People with chronic illnesses such as diabetes may develop anxiety or other mental health conditions .

Learn healthy ways to lower your stress , and ask for help from your health care team or a mental health professional. While it may be uncomfortable to talk about your feelings, finding a health care professional whom you trust and want to talk with may help you

• lower your feelings of stress, depression, or anxiety
• manage problems sleeping or remembering things
• see how diabetes affects your family, school, work, or financial situation

Ask your health care team for mental health resources for people with diabetes.

Sleeping too much or too little may raise your blood glucose levels. Your sleep habits may also affect your mental health and vice versa. People with diabetes and overweight or obesity can also have other health conditions that affect sleep, such as sleep apnea , which can raise your blood pressure and risk of heart disease.

NIDDK conducts and supports clinical trials in many diseases and conditions, including diabetes. The trials look to find new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease and improve quality of life.

What are clinical trials for healthy living with diabetes?

Clinical trials—and other types of clinical studies —are part of medical research and involve people like you. When you volunteer to take part in a clinical study, you help health care professionals and researchers learn more about disease and improve health care for people in the future.

Researchers are studying many aspects of healthy living for people with diabetes, such as

• how changing when you eat may affect body weight and metabolism
• how less access to healthy foods may affect diabetes management, other health problems, and risk of dying
• whether low-carbohydrate meal plans can help lower blood glucose levels
• which diabetes medicines are more likely to help people lose weight

In Memoriam: Dan B. Dobbs

The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law mourns the loss of our esteemed former colleague, Regents Professor Emeritus, Dan B. Dobbs who passed away on March 21, 2024, at the age of 91. 

Dobbs left an indelible mark on the study and practice of law over the course of his illustrious career which spanned five and a half decades. His influence on the law was profound and far-reaching. After writing a number of influential articles in Tort law, Dobbs’ co-authorship of "Prosser & Keeton on Torts” solidified his reputation as a leading authority in the Torts field. He later wrote the leading contemporary Torts treatise, “The Law of Torts.” His third treatise, “The Law of Remedies,” defined that field. Written as sole author and with coauthors, his treatises and hornbook have become essential texts in legal practice, and the many editions of his casebooks in Torts, Economic and Dignitary Torts, and Remedies, have become essential texts in legal education. 

Beyond his prolific writing, Dobbs was celebrated for his unwavering dedication to excellence. Colleagues and students alike revered his meticulous approach to scholarship, often beginning his workday as early as 4:00 a.m. to ensure the utmost precision in his research and writing. His scholarship garnered recognition from courts and legal professionals worldwide, with thousands of judicial opinions citing his work, including more than one hundred acknowledgments from the United States Supreme Court alone. He received the William L. Prosser Award for outstanding contributions to Torts scholarship, teaching and service. He also served as a member of the American Law Institute and the European Group on Tort Law. His commitment to advancing principles of fairness in the law, and his passion for teaching, inspired countless individuals within the legal community. 

In recognition of his outstanding contributions, Dobbs was named Regents Professor of the University of Arizona, the highest academic honor bestowed by the institution. 

Ellen Bublick , his Arizona Law colleague and coauthor wrote: “Through his prolific and revered scholarship and his rigorous teaching, Dan’s name became synonymous with excellence. He set high standards for his students, his colleagues, and himself—a confidence and challenge that made us all better. He was a wise person, always willing to share an insight or illuminating story. It was the honor of a lifetime to work alongside him and to be the first holder of the Chair in his name. I am so lucky to have had Dan as a beloved colleague, coauthor and friend for thirteen years, and after his retirement, as a dear friend for fourteen years more.” 

"Dan was not only a true giant in the field of tort law but also a cherished member of our academic community,” said Marc Miller , dean of University of Arizona Law. “His passion for scholarship and dedication to teaching left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him. As we mourn his loss, let us also celebrate his remarkable legacy, which has shaped the lives of so many Arizona graduates, and which will continue to inspire future generations of legal scholars and practitioners."

March Madness 2024: Top Conversation Topics and Trends

Ann-Derrick Gaillot and Elena Tarasova

Apr 9, 2024

5 min. read

Did you tune in to March Madness? If so, you were one of tens of millions of people who watched the NCAA college basketball tournament this year. In the end, the men’s team from the University of Connecticut took home their second championship trophy in a row. Meanwhile, the South Carolina Gamecocks, led by coach and WNBA alum Dawn Staley, became the women’s team champions. And though it’s clear who won March Madness on the court, marketers need to know who generated the most hype out in the world.

We used our social listening and analytics solution to look at which teams, topics, people, and brands got NCAA basketball fans talking most this year. Read on to learn more about how March Madness played out across social media, news, and other digital sources.

Top Locations

From March Madness’s start on March 19 through the men’s championship game on April 8, there were almost 3.4 million mentions of the tournament. That volume is lower than last year’s 4 million mentions.

Read our social listening analysis of the 2023 tournament.

Texas and California had the first- and second-highest volumes of March Madness mentions in 2024 and 2023.

The 2024 top 10 locations for March Madness conversations are similar to 2023, with New York and North Carolina rising in the ranks. This could be thanks to the NC State Wolfpack men’s and women’s teams making it to the Final Four. 

Texas and California had the first- and second-highest volumes of March Madness mentions. This may be due to both states having many different teams in the tournament. There were five California teams in the women’s March Madness bracket and three in the men’s. Texas sent five teams to the women’s tournament and six teams to the men’s. 

Interestingly, states that had teams in the finals — South Carolina, Iowa, Connecticut, and Indiana — were not in the top 10 locations for March Madness mentions. And Arizona, where the men’s finals took place this year, ranked 24th.

Of the five top storylines across sources, two were about the men’s tournament and three were about the women’s.

Meltwater’s social listening and analytics platform uses LLM-powered clustering technology to detect popular topics and narratives across different content formats and platforms.

Most of the top stories from this year’s tournament were about the hype of the games themselves. However, one of the biggest stories of March Madness 2024 was the Utah women’s team having to switch hotels during the tournament after facing racist incidents at their original hotel in Idaho.

Top Entities  

The top entities of this year’s March Madness conversation has one notable standout.

Only UConn came close to matching the NCAA’s prominence in March Madness conversations. 

Caitlin Clark is the only individual in a sea of sports organizations. This is a testament to her star power and the value of her brand, even as she ends her college career never having won the NCAA Championship.

Men’s vs. Women’s

Overall, there were about 212,000 more mentions of the men’s teams than the women’s, but the trend of the conversations fluctuated as the tournament reached its final stages.

Mentions of the women’s teams were higher than those of the men’s teams on eight out of the 21 days of the tournament.  

From April 1 through April 5, as well as the day of the women’s finals on April 7, conversations about the women’s teams surpassed those about the men’s. Mentions about the men’s teams had notable spikes on March 21, the start of the first round, April 6, the day of the Final Four, and April 8, the day of the championship game.

The UConn Huskies had 35k more mentions than the Purdue Boilermakers.

Of the men’s teams, the UConn Huskies, the tournament winners, also had the highest volume of mentions. At times, the NC State Wolfpack and Purdue Boilermakers generated more mentions than UConn, but for the majority of March Madness, the Huskies were the most talked about team.

The UConn Huskies had 39k more mentions than the South Carolina Gamecocks.

On the women’s side, the most talked about team fluctuated more often. While the Huskies had the highest volume of mentions overall, the South Carolina Gamecocks champions were the most talked about team by the tournament’s end.

Collectively, though, it’s safe to say the UConn and NC State basketball programs are the true overall winners here.

Top Sponsors

Our visual analysis of team sponsor logos detected in images related to March Madness shows that Nike was the powerhouse of the tournament.

We used Meltwater's visual analytics features to detect sponsor logos in non-verbal/non-textual content posted across news and X.

The iconic sports brand sponsored three of the Final Four teams in the men’s tournament, including the UConn champions, and two of the Final Four teams in the women’s tournament. And though Under Armour sponsored the women’s champions, the South Carolina Gamecocks, Nike sponsored the second-place Iowa Hawkeyes. This meant that every time the camera was focused on star Caitlin Clark, viewers got an eyeful of the iconic swoosh.

Final takeaways

In broad strokes, the “winners” of the March Madness conversation were:

• Texas - a top state for communities of basketball fans
• Caitlin Clark - the star player of the tournament
• UConn - the most prominent of the March Madness schools
• Nike - the most visible brand

Looking forward to next year, there are some potential openings. Who will rise to become the new star of women’s college basketball? Which brand could give Nike a run for their money? And how could the next host city impact the top locations ranking? 

The deeper marketers dive into the data, the more insights emerge. Interested in digging further into the conversation about March Madness and other major events that impact your brand? Learn how with a demo of the Meltwater Suite.
