New York Times: Drought: A Creeping Disaster

Check out this article from the NY Times on the devastating effects of drought (in the U.S. and the World) and what can be done about it.

This is yet another article on the importance of adaptation to climate change in the water sector. As part of my PICS internship, I am doing a lot of research on climate change adaptation in the water sector in the Canadian context. I plan on sharing more news articles, presentations and summaries of my research through Enviro Boys. While adaptation to climate change is site-specific (i.e. Holland's flood mitigation techniques may not apply directly to New Orleans) there is, nonetheless, a comprehensive collection of best practices that we can use to be more effective and productive with our efforts.

One thing is for sure, the time to generate knowledge and information about this topic is now so we can start to move forward on it.
