Virginia drought survey deemed adequate says Scott
An Agriculture Department official said the Virginia drought survey was sufficient to deny major disaster designation. Kenneth Scott noted the investigator did not visit all counties but enough information supported the finding that conditions were not acute. The White House concurred, though Virginia officials voiced disappointment. Scott said emergency aid under other laws remains possible if conditions worsen.

Sea ice salinity in the Arctic seas
Scientists note that sea ice forms from seawater and remains saline, not suitable for drinking without desalination. Early researchers observed that young ice can hold salt content similar to surrounding ocean water.
Old Sea Ice Characteristics and Summer Water Sources
The text explains that ice formed from seawater becomes fresh after a year as it loses salt. Old sea ice has smooth rounded edges and a bluish tint, while young sea ice is rougher and milky gray. In summer, pools in old ice can yield drinking water, except near floe edges where salt spray may contaminate.
