TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary, 8 - 14 June 2013 + Water Jobs

I am trying something new this week - a separate listing of weekly 'Water Jobs' (almost all outside the USA) that is distributed via email by Joshua Newton (joshuat.newton@gmail.com). You will find this right below the 'Positions Open' section, which consists of jobs I have Tweeted.

If you wish to subscribe to the Water Jobs email list, contact Joshua.

I have also added a 'Water Crisis' category. When in Rome...

Note - if you are new to this summary: to access a story, click on the link beginning with 'http://', 'is.gd', or 'bit.ly' (usually). 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!

Enjoy  Father's Day weekend, and Flag Day (today in the USA)!

I am now in the middle of the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington at the Red Lion Hotel on the River. I am here along with members of the Organizing Committee for the 2013 AWRA Annual Water Resources Conference, and Ken Reid and Dick Engberg of AWRA HQ to develop the program for the aforementioned conference.

We received 400 abstracts! Assembling the program will be a daunting task, but we have Brenda Bateman to lead us out of the wilderness!

Headed to Saskatoon, the 'Paris of the Prairies', for a joint meeting of the Canadian Water Resources Association, the Canadian Geophysical Union, and the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanograhic Society. Looking forward to it; the CWRA-CGU meeting in Banff last year was quite good.

The Twitter hashtag will be #Congress_2013

To the summary I've added a separate category for this week only: 'Portland's Fluoride War'. The anti-fluoridation folks beat the pro-fluoridations folks, 60% - 40%. 

To my USA friends, have a great, safe Memorial Day weekend! Recall what we are remembering - not how many sales we've been to.

Received about 400 abstracts for the 2013 AWRA Annual Conference! Great!
