Back to the serious stuff today.
At the Fifth World Water Forum (5WWF) I co-convened a session (3.4.1) on A Hidden Resource: Sustainably Managing Groundwater for the Future, along with Katharine Cross and Peter Laban of IUCN. Katharine did the bulk of the work, what with her connections and organizational skills. She was amazing.
Here are the Programme, Session Summary Sheet (contains schedule and email addresses for all involved), and Session Outcome documents:

"Shifting from bloody oil to dirty oil is like taking your mortgage from Countrywide Financial to Bear Stearns. You still have the original problem, which is America's costly oil addiction." -- Andrew Nikiforuk, Canadian oil expert, on the USA's increasing dependence on tar sands oil (Oregonian, 2 April 2009)

Great material, I enjoyed looking at the presentations.
