TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary, 6 - 12 October 2012

I assembled this last night while listening to the mellifluous tones of Vice President Joe Biden, Rep. Paul Ryan, and Martha Raddatz - all live from Danville, KY, home of my mother-in-law.

I'm tired now.

Note - if you are new to this summary: to access a story, click on the link beginning with 'http://', 'is.gd', or 'bit.ly'. Clicking on a link beginning with '@' will take you to that person's Twitter account; clicking on a link beginning with '#' will take you to a Twitter list containing Tweets about a particular topic. Some items may not have a hot link to a story, which is fine - it may have been just an informational item or a personal message to someone. Or, I may have screwed up and forgotten the link!
