- Groundwater tapping out in North China says the communist party paper. I guess that’s a good reason for the Party to build the south-north canal. What happened to restrictions on groundwater extraction and higher prices?!? Oh yeah, sustainability isn’t so exciting…
- “TaKaDu can take sparse and spiky data from existing sensors and fold that in with weather data, acoustic data, and GIS data to enable the smart water grid… TaKaDu’s water network management can prevent, weeks or months ahead of time, significant events in real-world networks by alerting utilities to the small changes that precede bursts and other anomalies.”
- Berkeley people are throwing away too little garbage and too much recycling, so the City is thinking of raising the price for recycling above zero, which will create accounting headaches. Better to lay off workers. (In the future, the price may have to rise; keep it below 50% of the normal garbage price…)
- Water trading is worth $2.5 billion in Australia. Interested?
