1. "International Water Cooperation and Conflict: A New Event Dataset" ...and the news is good.
   
   
2. "Antibiotic-Resistant Genes Reported in Six Rivers in Eastern China" ...and the news is bad.
   
   
3. A good post discussing the impact of dams on the Mekong... and the attempt to engage locals in their development. (I still think that there's too much corruption, i.e., Thai money for dams in Laos that will screw over the Cambodians.)
   
   
4. Jay Lund has a funny post on how engineers see California's water problems.
