- A video discussion of water management (and full cost pricing) in Ontario, Canada -- featuring Jan Beecher! On a related note, read her AWWA article [PDF] on why water budgets are not such a great idea. (Irvine Ranch Water District, btw, can use them because they can afford to spend big money on setting up a complex system.) Then read my post on why uniform rates are better than increasing block rates. Then take a break for a coffee.
- A fun interview: "David Zetland is Brash, Outspoken and Unapologetic... and He’s Usually Right."
- Solutions Journal published my article on why and how we can use all-in-auctions (the "no regrets" mechanism) for re-allocating water.
- If you are interested in "Monitoring Drinking-Water Supply Beyond 2015 - Preparing the Next Generation of Global Indicators," then you many want to listen to the MP3 [2 hrs 40MB] I recorded at the World Water Forum in Marseille.
- "How to Fix U.S. Water Policy? Less Government, More Market Pricing." Agreed!
- How deep did the Titanic sink? REALLY DEEP (click to enlarge).

David, I'm intrigued by this comment in the article referenced in item 2 interview: "gives a shockingly bullet proof and well-reasoned explanation as to why there really isn’t a global water crisis at all." Do you have a link to more on that from you?
@Peter -- You can listen to our interview @ that post, but whoops... he's referencing my comment. It's likely that I said there's no crisis in water, but management. Change the management (relatively easy, except for power structures), and voila -- no crisis. (By using more economics to allocate water, e.g.)
