Note: these events have been postponed and will be rescheduled in a few weeks.
Over at WaterWired I posted about Jim Thebaut’s water event scheduled for 24 February 2010 in Washington, 
DC. The event will be held, but it’s now been split into two events, one in the afternoon (noon – 2 pm) and one in the evening (6 – 8:30 pm).
[Disclosure notice: Jim is a good friend of mine, and the followng iss based on information posted on his WWW site and from CSIS. I will be involved in these events.]
Here goes:
1) The Chronicles Group/Running Dry Project and The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California in association with the Embassy of Australia and the CSIS Global Water Futures Project present:
Coping with Drought & Water Scarcity: Lessons Learned from Australia & the United States
WHAT: A lunch/panel discussion of what actions we need to take to tackle our unsustainable water future
WHEN: 24 February 2010, noon to 2:00 pm
WHERE: Center for Strategic and International Studies, 1800 K Street NW, Washington, DC 20006, B-1 Conference Center (link to map)
2) The lunch/panel discussion is a prelude to the 24 February evening event which will be held at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center Auditorium from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm and will feature a special screening of Jim’s film Running Dry: Beyond the Brink.How About Water: The Catalyst on Nation Building and National Security
On Wednesday, 24 February 2010, from 6 – 8:30 pm the Congressional Water Caucus and the Chronicles Group/Running Dry Project in association with the Embassy of Australia and the CSIS Global Water Futures Project are hosting an event to bring the Executive and Legislative Branches of the U.S. Government together with the public and private sector in order to provide an educational dialogue about drought and water scarcity and its ultimate impact on national security. Congressional sponsors include Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-CA), Rep. John Linder (R-GA), co-founder of the Congressional Water Caucus), Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA), Rep. George Radanovich (R-CA), and Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI). Non-Congressional sponsors include the Southern Nevada Water Authority, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP, Adduci Mastriani & Schaumberg LLP, Golden State Water Company, Water Replenishment District of Southern California, StableRoad.org, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Acequia, Mesa Elementary School, Oregon State University, Water Charity. A special thanks also go to Water for People for their 
ongoing support – and to actress Jane Seymour, who will be a special guest at the event which will be held at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center Auditorium, Capitol Hill, Washington, DC.
This promises to be an exciting day in water. Be sure to attend. I will see you there.

From the Great Lakes to Puget Sound, from the Mississippi River to the Everglades, and from Chesapeake Bay to the Colorado – we can only protect the great waters of America if we safeguard the countless streams that feed them and the millions of acres of wetlands that help keep them clean. Perhaps that is why the Senate EPW committee rejected the spurious arguments of powerful polluters and instead voted to restore protections vital to America’s great waters. As its name indicates, the Clean Water Restoration Act does no more than restore the original scope of the Clean Water Act that our nation adopted some 37 years ago – to protect all the waters of the United States.
