New York State rdered to Delay Deposits on Water Bottles
New York Times
Griesa of United States District Court in Manhattan ordered state officials to wait until next April 1 before requiring retailers to collect a 5-cent deposit on bottled water. Judge Griesa also struck down a provision that required water bottlers to affix a New York-specific universal product code to bottles sold in the state and prohibited them from selling those bottles outside the state finding that the requirement was an unconstitutional infringement on interstate commerce.

Bioenergy Makes Heavy Demands n Scarce Water Supplies
Science Daily (press release)
In respect of various applications of biomass the researchers present the impact that cultivation of the crops has on water consumption. By linking the water consumption to the location and climate data it is possible to select the optimum production region for each crop. This makes it easier to prevent biomass cultivation from jeopardizing food production in regions where water is already in short supply according to the researchers. This lends an extra dimension to the bioenergy debate: until now the discussion has mainly focused on the question of whether it should be allowed to use food crops for fuel. But underlying this is the question of how we should deploy our limited supplies of fresh water. Water that is used for bioenergy – whether it be for a food crop such as maize or a non-food crop such as jatropha – cannot be used for food production for drinking water or for maintaining natural eco-systems. The water footprint developed by Prof.
Sewer water rates to see 6-7% hike

City manager Dave Waffle said the new water fees will eventually fund a new two-million-gallon reservoir which will smooth water supply during the summer months. In Forest Grove funds from the city’s water fee increase will go to pay for improvements to the Joint Water Commission treatment plant as well as maintain the city’s pipes. Clean Water Services is also planning to spend $21. 4 million on upgrades to its Forest Grove Wastewater Treatment plant.
