Well, it's a Water World: two-thirds of it ocean, ten percent of it ice, one percent of it drinkable.
In a drop: the sea, they say, and that drop powers plenty: land grabs, scientific innovation, architecture, land planning, poetry....I'll write this blog while I'm a student at the (rapidly greening - we'll write about that) Annandale campus of Northern Virginia Community College.
I'll write about water locally and globally covering Water and the Built Environment, the Public Health of Storm-water Management, Agroecosystems and Water, and the Economics of Water.
I'm an engineering student interested in international development, so a lot will be about smart water conservation, cleaning, and management systems innovations that are being shoved by a wave of worry as water resources dwindle in developed and developing worlds.
Mid-life and changing horses. At 48, I've left work and gone back to school. In a deluge of math, biology, and summer internships at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, VA. I'm slogging toward an Engineering degree - interested in water: how to conserve it, protect it, clean it, keep it flowing in rivers, streams, forests, cities. Mostly, how to get it into mouths - a heck of a lot of mouths. This blog is about water, school, and changing horses.
