This week three news stories reported hopeful actions tied to stories we told in Traveling the 38th Parallel. One describes farmers voluntarily cooperating to limit Ogallala aquifer pumping in northwest Kansas, here: "Drought Ravaged Plains Efforts to Save a Vital Aquifer".
And the second tells about conservative outrage over China's involvement in Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining in Kentucky: Motherjones mountaintop-removal-china-conservative.
We'll take all the good news we can get on both topics, which were some of the most disturbing issues we encountered along the 38th Parallel.
And KQED posted this story about San Joaquin River flows that may be adjusted to improve wildlife conditions by a slight increase in spring flows. Good clear coverage by KQED: http://blogs.kqed.org/newsfix/2013/03/19/where-californias-water-future-is-really-being-decided-hint-its-not-about-tunnels/
