The January-February 2009 issue of Southwest Hydrology has hit the streets and it’s a real special issue – advice to President Obama and the new Congress from some of the country’s foremost water experts.
From the WWW site:
January 2009 brings the inauguration of a new President and many new members of Congress. They and the continuing members of Congress will need to address serious water issues facing the country, especially in the West. Infrastructure is crumbling. Water quality is becoming worse in many areas. Climate change is impacting our hydrologic systems in completely new ways. We must conserve more water, and we must act sooner rather than later. Several of the country’s foremost water experts share their thoughts on how the federal government could most efficiently and effectively face this imminent threat to our health, welfare, economy, and national security.
