Friday Blogs and Posts on Water

Occasionally on Fridays I like to highlight some valuable content out there on internet that might be of interest to people connected to the department.

Today I highlight these 4-

1) From the New York Times affiliated blog Green. We have a nice post about New York City's Water Resources Poetry contest. Some nice lines for public talks in the future.

My Favorite-
Treatment at wastewater plants must be quite quick,
To remove the pollutants so you don’t get sick.
In a mere seven hours, the job is complete,
Compared to weeks in nature to perform the same feat!


2) From American Rivers a concern that the recently introduced Kerry-Lieberman Climate
Bill does not do enough to provide resources to cities, towns and states to adapt to the climate change that is highly likely over the next 30-50 years.

3) From an HWR alum - Michael Campana on his storied blog WaterWired, today brings us a nice entry on Peter Gleick's new book on Bottled Water - Bottled and Sold.

4) Another Alum- Bob Sobczak runs a great blog about the water resources issues and variable hydrology of southwest Florida.
