  • Toxic Water in the Finger Lakes: The Owasco Lake Mystery

    Toxic Water in the Finger Lakes: The Owasco Lake Mystery
    2026/04/02
    Owasco Lake supplies drinking water to 45,000 people in central New York. In 2016, it made history, for the wrong reason. Cyanobacterial toxins were detected in the finished drinking water of a New York State public water system for the first time ever. Since then, the blooms have gotten worse, the lawsuits have piled up, and a number that gets cited constantly in the press may not be telling the whole story. In this episode, environmental scientist and Owasco local, Ally Berry, goes inside the science, the data, and the regulatory fight that has turned one Finger Lake into a test case for water policy across New York State. What's really driving the algae blooms? Where is the phosphorus actually coming from? And why is the science more complicated (and more interesting) than the headlines suggest?References:Anderson, H.S., et al. (2021).

  • Intro: How to Understand Water

    Intro: How to Understand Water
    2026/03/19

    Welcome to AquaDiary, where the gap between water issues and scientific reality finally gets filled in.

    Understanding Water, Beneath the Surface.

    You’ve seen the stories: water contamination scares, mysterious lake phenomena, harmful algal blooms, fish kills, water crises, shifting water laws. But what do they actually mean? And how concerned should you be?

    Behind every story is context that rarely makes it into the hands of the public. Scientists understand it. Reporters summarize it. But the full picture often gets lost somewhere in translation.

    This is a podcast for anyone who drinks water, lives near a waterbody, or has ever wondered about water science and the manmade systems that manage it. No technical background or fancy lab coat required.

    Together, we’ll build a foundation in water science so you can understand the how and the why behind any story you encounter. We’ll unpack complex headlines, explore recurring environmental issues, explain water science and manmade systems, and dive into lake mysteries and folklore that keep curiosity alive.


    This is the story of water: explained clearly, honestly, and directly to you.
