A few bits

In an interesting blog post on the San Francisco Chronicle site last Friday, Peter Gleick raises a provocative question regarding whether "beneficial uses" of water from California's Sacramento River should be redefined to account for the scarcity of water in the region: "Maybe it is time to explicitly demand that the SWRCB determine whether and how much water for watering lawns and outdoor landscapes is "beneficial" or "reasonable.""

A bit about getting green roof construction right in Architecture Week.

Lastly, a depressing story about Akwesasne, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, and the impact that PCBs have had on the men that live there.
