Plans
for next water crisis being drafted
21 July 2005��
The state-run Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) and
operators in the industrial estates along the Eastern Seaboard have jointly
mapped out plans to deal with a possible water shortage for the next dry season
� The plans included securing standby water tankers ahead of the dry season,
moving forward the shutdown of factories for annual maintenance work from the
rainy or winter season to the dry season and working to relax the Science
Ministry's limit on the use of recycled water to five times from three times �
the industrial operators were worried that the water shortage next year would
be more critical �

U.S.,
Mexican groups sue Dept. of Interior over water
July 20, 2005� A lingering dispute over water
rights along the California-Mexico border took an unprecedented legal turn
yesterday as a coalition of U.S. and Mexican groups sued the U.S. Department of
Interior. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. federal court in Las Vegas, seeks to halt
a multimillion-dollar U.S. plan to line 23 miles of the All-American Canal and
send the water that is saved to San Diego County ... The lawsuit comes as
rapidly growing communities on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border put
pressure on limited water resources, and the United States and Mexico confront unresolved
issues about water rights � U.S. officials have steadfastly maintained that the
water carried by the All-American Canal belongs to California, part of
California's annual 4.4 million acre-feet under the 1922 Colorado River Compact
among seven western U.S. states ... The lining dispute has forced discussion of
border groundwater issues that were never clearly defined when Mexico and the
United States signed a water treaty in 1944 �

Water board warning 26 years ago
July 16, 2005 SYDNEY Water board officials were told at least 26 years ago that the
city would run out of water by 2000 unless urgent action were taken. A report obtained
by The Weekend Australian shows former Sydney Water boss Bob Wilson, who was a
mid-level manager at the time, believed the utility was ready to increase water
recycling and build dams in response to a potential crisis. But in an interview this week, Mr Wilson admitted many
of the initiatives were never adopted ... Water bureaucrats and the Carr
Government had spent the past decade failing to undertake a series of carefully
planned, environmentally sustainable projects �

State strives to reduce water, energy consumption at flagship university
13.07.05� � About 3,400
toilets and 4,200 faucets around campus have already been replaced to reduce
water consumption. The university used about 450 (m) million gallons annually

water use on campus is expected to be reduced by about 78 (m) million gallons a
year. The goal is to cut energy costs by about six (m) million dollars per
year, or 25 percent of the campus utility bill ...

water supplier ... Checks will be carried out to determine the
vulnerability of the computer system which controls Yarra Valley Water's catchments.

terrorist threat. Parasites such as crystosporidium and giardia among the

July 12, 2005 Future water demands along the Front Range could be met easily with more
conservation, more sharing among cities and farms, and in some cases, by
expanding existing reservoirs, according to a new report. Such an approach would mean the state would not need to dam more rivers
or bring large amounts of new water from the Western Slope to the Front Range,
according to the report �

Author of Water Inc. warns
against misuse of precious resource
July 18, 2005�
Readers � might feel like they're reading fact, not fiction. It's an
eco-thriller about severe water shortages in the United States and a powerful
secret consortium plotting to build a pipeline to carry Quebec water to parched
regions of the continent ... But despite the seriousness of the issue and her
track record in nonfiction, Burstyn decided to tackle her first novel rather
than write a "heavy serious tome" �
