The eureka moment was when I realized that the Great Rift systems of East Africa"- a 4,000-mile fault zone spanning from Jordan to Mozambique-"were leading to regional collection and transmission of water, not by a few miles, not just going outside a few local boundaries, but going hundreds or even thousands of miles all over these vast desert terrains of East Africa. It's very unlikely that the volumes of water he argues are in these megawatersheds can actually be coming from renewable resources, says Peter Gleick, a water expert and president of the Pacific Institute, a sustainability think tank Bill Alley, chief of the US Geological Survey's Office of Ground Water, labels the term megawatershed as an advertising scheme...There are some very large groundwater resources around the wor...

- Warming Is Well Under Way, Say Scientists
From the micro to the macro, from plankton in the oceans to polar bears in the far north and seals in the far south, global warming has begun changing life on Earth, international scientists will report next Friday. Changes in climate are now affecting physical and biological systems on every continent," says a draft obtained by The Associated Press of a report on warming's impacts, to be issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the authoritative U.N. network of 2,000 scientists and more than 100 governments.
