TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary, 22 - 28 November 2014

Running late today - jet-lagged from yesterday's trip from Budapest to Corvallis, Oregon. Had a great first meeting as a Steering Committee member of the Global Water Partnership. 

Here is a picture of my Dutch GWP Sterring Committee colleague Alice Bouman-Dentener enjoying a glass of water from the Budapest Waterworks, which we toured on 26 November. Alice is an Honorary Founding President of the Water for Women Partnership.

Nice chat with @AniaGrobicki1 en route to & in BUD airport. She's heading to Paris, then to UK. We promised to keep in touch. Smart person!

Hey! WiFi on @united 1087 @Dulles_Airport to @flypdx. Two levels of service: $1/hour or $2/hour. We'll see how this works.

Enjoyed swapping jokes with Hungarian scientist about his country's 'secret police' and my country's NSA/CIA monitoring. SOS,for sure!

New slogan for Budapest's WWT facility? 'Flush twice, it's a long way to Belgrade'. Maybe not.

Sarah Bates' Presentation: 'Addressing Water Issues in Private Land Conservation Planning'

 About two weeks ago we at Oregon State University were thankful to have Sarah Bates of the National Wildlife Federation and The Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Policy at the University of Montana visit us. She spoke on an important but oft-overlooked issue, Addressing Water Issues in Private Land Conservation Planning. A PDF of her PPT follows:

Download Bates_OSU_presentation_Nov2014

The presentation was based on her excellent publication that I featured last February, Land Trusts and Water: Strategies and Resources for Addressing Water in Western Land Conservation that was published by the Land Trust Alliance. I urge you take a look at it. 

If you wish to contact Sarah, her email is [email protected] (mistake on PDF).

And enjoy Thanskgiving Day in the USA!

Joshua Newton's Water Jobs & More - 26 November 2014

Josh is here, just in time for Thanksgiving (tomorrow in the USA) with a bounty of gifts - jobs!

The lights are on a map at the Budapest Waterworks. The ones on the right represent pumping stations and other facilities in the pipe network; the ones on the left show the locations of bank filtration wells - hundreds of them - along the Danube River. All of Budapest's residents - around 2M of them - and businesses get their water from riverbank filtration.  

I will be flying home from Budapest tomorrow, hoping to get home in time for a few hours at home.

It was a productive meeting of the GWP Steering Committee. Lots of things to digest before the next scheduled meeting - in Stockholm, the week of 18 May.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
