TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 11 - 17 February 2023

Water Resources IMPACT: 'The California Megadrought' (PDF!) https://bit.ly/3YIObR2 #cawater

Enjoy!

**********************************************************************************************

The links below represent the week's water news as represented by my Tweets. I do not pretend that this survey is a comprehensive survey of the water news; it's my attempt to keep my readers informed to the best of my ability and available time. Links will not appear in more than two categories (excluding the very first category). I have also added two more 'Daily Water Newsletters' to increase coverage. These are the Midcontinent US Water News Daily (#MCUSwater) and the Southeast US Water News Daily (#SEUSwater). The former samples news media within 500 miles of Kansas City, KS and the latter within Knoxville, TN).  With the other seven dailies this affords pretty good daily coverage for the USA.

Scroll down to 'Positions Open' and 'Previous Weeks' Positions Open' to see the jobs. All my individual job Tweets are archived at #JobWaWi. Previous weekly summaries are archived at:  #WaWiNews or click here. If a link does not work, paste the URL into your browser. The # indicates a hashtag, which means that a Tweet will be archived in a 'bin'. So a Tweet with #caspiansea means that bin will archive that Tweet and any others with #caspiansea. Just click on the hashtag to get there..

Quote of the Day- “My genome is by far the best characterised individual genome on the planet today, [or] at least definitely the best characterised public genome of any species. This year,entire complete & gapless genome of a single human will be released -biologist Leon Peshkin

Quote of the Day - “When an institution hires someone,the expectation is that you dedicate yourself & do everything for the well-being of the institution.I would simply expect reciprocity, that the institutions & universities start to think about wellness of people.” @Hlashuel

Quote of the Day - “Bird brain should actually be a compliment.” cognitive biologist Alice Auersperg lauds the Goffin’s cockatoo — only the third animal (alongside humans & chimps) known to gather up a set of diverse tools to take with them to tackle a challenge. (in @nytimes)
