Yet another good cop/bad cop routine. Global government won’t solve our problems.

Thank you America! Once again you have proven to the world that you value lives of the many less than you value profits for the few.

You are a failed nation, and should be kept in isolation, under embargo and under control, so that you can not hurt the world more than you have already done.

Thanks Pete.

I will most definitely never, ever, ever, forget about all the wonderful people affiliated with the Chehalis River Basin Land Trust (http://www.chehalislandtrust.org/) and the Chehalis River Council (http://www.crcwater.org/). You all are doing such amazing things in the tranquil (and, at times, tumultuous) Chehalis River watershed. From you all, I have learned that volunteer citizen groups master accomplishment.

Future generations thank you.

Bravo, Abby,

This blog is great. Hope you will have the juice to keep it up while you move on.

I know you won’t forget us up here in the Chehalis watershed.

Pete

Hi Abigail,

Feelin’ lucky to have stumbled across your chunk of the internet here.

A very thoughtful compendium of resources and news. Water’s a topic very close to my heart as well–I also have a background in watershed management, with a bit of groundwater contamination and public drinking water management tossed in for good measure.

Cheers!

Thank you for this wonderful website. It is a great resource to learn about the world water crisis. I would like to tell you about a region in West Africa called the Azawak where people lives are direly affected by the lack of sustainable water sources. In this vast region that stretches between Niger and Mali, people live on the brink of survival due to the lack of water. One out of every two children die. During the rainy season, water is retrieved from muddy marshes shared with animals. During the dry season, which takes up at least 9 months of the year, it is the job of young children to travel 35 miles in a day to the nearest deep well in order to bring home a small amount of water for their family and animals. Development organization Amman Imman: Water is Life is bringing life and hope to this region by building permanent and sustainable sources of water. Please share the work of this organization on your website: http://www.waterforniger.org/

I still can’t believe a country like spain with its resources has problems like this with water. Just one golf course in Catalonia uses the water of around 12,000 people! Surely they’ve got to do something. nice post.
