Water resource policy Puns

Title, I've been trying to find some on youtube but its been hard to find any. Is there any channel/place where i can find finals rounds or just normal debate rounds over the current topic?

I would really like to work in hydrology, using GIS and data science. I would prefer to work on international water issues if at all possible, but I have a few issues to work out and choices to make.

Tl;dr: torn between Water Resource Management PSM at OSU and International Environmental Policy MS at JHU

I'm currently graduating with a BS in Environmental Science with a specialization in Applied Ecology, through Oregon State University. I planned to continue on to the PSM, Professional Science Masters, in Water Resource Management, while completing a data science certificate at Berkeley, possibly a GIS certificate through UC San Diego, and possibly a Water Conflict Management certificate at OSU as well. I know that's a lot or 'too much' to most people, but I'm just one of those lifelong learner types and I don't really care about that.

I thought consulting while finishing the masters would be the best route, however I would really love to get involved in international projects, for example with UN Water, using GIS and data science, or even possibly see if I could join the Lawrence Berkeley lab. Johns Hopkins offers an MS in Environmental Science and Policy, with a track in International Environmental Policy, and a GIS certificate can be included.

A few concerns I have: I don't want to live in Washington DC, the cost of living in California can limit realistic career opportunities, JHU is a little bit more expensive but does include the GIS cert too, JHU is overall ranked higher but OSU has a good reputation on the West Coast and more networks there and they are very similarly ranked in their environmental science programs, policy jobs seem to often pay less and are in less demand than hydrology jobs, I'm not sure if the PSM or the MS is more worth it, and I might like to apply for Berkeley's ESPM PhD some day.

I'm feeling torn between settling for what seems like the more practical option of the Water Resource Management PSM and building consulting experience (which I fear might pigeonhole me into a career that's okay but not quite what I truly want to do), and gaining experience in GIS (which pays much less initially and takes longer to go up in pay), and banking on policy jobs which might require relocation, less pay, potentially 'too much' international travel (eg. if I settle down and start a family), etc, but it is what I'd really love to do.

Any advice or perspective, especially from anyone with more experience in the field, would be greatly ap

There are a lot of research conducted these days that all indicate that by 2030 the world is going to face severe resource shortages, mainly food, fresh water, and energy. This would have a ripple effect on quality of life, particularly health with regards to food and fresh water, as well as wealth, which rely on accessible energy sources.

We should be hunkering down and focusing on whatever we have already, and prioritising core areas to maintain, for example, healthcare, and national security, as well as promoting more naturalistic lifestyles with less reliance on high technology, to better withstand upcoming global resource shortages.

The fact of the matter is that the current priorities of this country is unsustainable, particularly diversity, inclusivity, and equity policies. These policies require a lot of resources to maintain and we really shouldn't be focusing on these policies at all when we're literally going to potentially face mass casualty situations in the future due to resource shortages. This is all insanity to me.

Mass immigration at a time when we're going to soon face global resource shortages is not only stupid, but dangerous. It's the same with health, we should be focusing on maintaining a healthy population (physically, and mentally), instead there is an over-reliance on pharmaceuticals, which require a lot of resources to maintain, which means we're screwing ourselves over, again. None of this makes any sense!

Douglas Murray once said, quoting someone else, that conservatism in the traditional sense, which is conserving family, community, health, nature, and traditions, isn't appealing until the world starts falling apart, because then people will realise how important it is to cling to timeless solid foundations. As the world will soon face resources shortages, this will become more relevant and salient.

Conservatism in the traditional sense is timeless, it is meant to withstand resources shortages, because that is how the world was for most of human history. Liberalism is a modern invention from the French Revolution that is dependent on access to more resources, and more energy, it requires a lot of upkeep to maintain and as the world will soon face shortages the only logical conclusion is collapse.

While the US legislative process is fairly straight forward , the origins and language of a bill can take a few different paths. Within Congress, members of each chamber could consult with their staff, attorneys in the Legislative Counsel, or circulate proposals to colleagues for input. Outside of Congress, think tanks are broadly known to “provide public policy research, analysis, and advice" while industry lobbyists have been able to convince legislators to insert additional language, often verbatim.

• What resources exist that documents the origin of United States federal policy? Perhaps something like this but with information concerning the origin of a bill.

• Alternatively, is there a resource that groups the source of federal policy and then breaks down the groups as a percentage of the whole? For example, what percentage of bills originate from lobbyist, congressional staffers, etc.

This is a mod rework of a user submission

Was talking with some coworkers today about all the strikes that have been going on and it came up how we can't strike without permission from the international. Does anyone know when that policy was first implemented? Most other unions, the locals can authorize their own strikes I believe.

I don't even know how I'd start to research this history, do you all have any good resources to learn about the history of the union more generally?

The characters are dehydrated for a longer period of time and once they finally find water they start spilling it and let it drip from their mouths.

I've been there once, on the break of dehydration and a bit disoriented but I've handled my water extremely carefully without spilling a drop. I just think it's unrealistic a desperate person would allow themselves to be careless once they find water in a desert or something.

> China is taking control of Asia’s water tower

> The country's engineers are damming or diverting the five great rivers that flow out of Tibet and into neighbouring countries

> China is centre stage: it has plans to dam or divert each of the five great rivers that emerge from Tibet’s high plateau before tumbling into neighbouring countries – the Indus, Brahmaputra, Irrawaddy, Salween and Mekong (see map). The projects have sparked simmering disputes between China and its neighbours.

> China cooperates with Central Asia over shared rivers

> China has a bad record when it comes to water cooperation. It was one of only three countries (along with Turkey and Burundi) to vote against the UN Watercourses Convention - the only global agreement on the use of international watercourses - when it was adopted in 1997. China controls the water flowing into neighbouring countries, as it is the upstream country for most of Asia’s major rivers. Yet China has not signed any comprehensive river treaty that regulates the distribution of water. It has also been reluctant to set up, or join, existing inter-state river commissions.

> Yet despite China’s poor record of hydro-political cooperation, there has been a longstanding partnership between China and Kazakhstan. What is surprising, however, is the degree of cooperation China has been willing to accept vis-à-vis this particular downstream neighbour. In 2001, China agreed to set up a joint river commission with Kazakhstan. While the scope of activities of the commission has remained narrow, focusing on monitoring and research, the establishment of a commission is an unprecedented step for China.

Its English title, from the Lao--Thai Me Khoong, or “Mother River,” emphasizes its life-giving nature. It has had a profound influence on the cultural traditions of the 95 ethnic groups who make their homes along its shores, and its basin is second in biodiversity only to the Amazon.

My friends and I have been drillin' about north of a large body of water, and we can't seem to figure out how to move the damn ore down south to where our smeltin' factory is.

I’m not from Tucson originally, and I have come to really enjoy hiking and seeing some flowing water near Mount Lemmon and the Tanque Verde area. Is there a resource that will tell me when there is a good amount of water flowing? Or is it more of a “go after it rains” type thing?
