SOS Alliance. 2004. 8 Nov. 2006. www.sosalliance.org

            This website provides information about the Save Our Springs Alliance in Austin, TX which works to preserve the quality of the water and the wildlife of the Edward's aquifer.  It provides government contacts and scientific studies that students can reference during their own investigations of water quality.  The site has a slight bias since it works to preserve water quality in the central Texas area.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 16 Nov 2006.  18 Nov. 2006.  http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/

This is a governmental website that covers many areas of water science.  It provides articles, information, and databases that students could use when researching areas of environmental protection around the country.
