Via web site of the Water Music Project. 4 pages., Describes a public education effort centered on a book, Water Music, that features photographs of water accompanied by the "writings and musical contributions of 66 world-renowned musicians, who have creatively responded to the meaning and value of water in their lives."
"Reporter Ben Sutherly tried to find out information on a manure lagoon he suspected of evading regulation, but the USDA denied his Freedom of Information request."
3 pages., via online journal., We often wonder why many a time our policies defy logic and our engineering designs lack a human element. There is no dearth of advances in scientific research and technologies. However, the large‐scale implementation of this knowledge and capacity on the field lags behind several decades in some regions. Unfortunately, the farmers not always benefit from these, least on the large‐scale. Well, the mystery may lie in the underlying communication processes that are supposed to be part of designing policies, institutions, engineering infrastructure, machines, products or any man‐made thing or rule. Or, sometimes it may be just due to a complete lack of any such processes during the design phase. Obviously, agricultural water management (AWM) for food production, particularly in many developing countries, is no exception to this phenomenon.
