    Top 10 Posts for February 2017

    John Oldfield called it: last month’s most popular story was once again on the U.S. Global Water Strategy. The Wilson Center’s Sherri Goodman, Ruth Greenspan Bell, and Nausheen Iqbal, like Oldfield before them, urged the new administration to take seriously the development of the strategy, due later this year, and provide “stronger American leadership” on global water issues.

    Second among the most-read stories last month was the latest from the “Choke Point” collaboration between the Wilson Center’s China Environment Forum and Circle of Blue. Keith Schneider previews new stories on Tamil Nadu’s high-tension water challenges, which have caused riots and are holding back development in a variety of ways. The province is “pitched on the frontlines of the powerful forces of climate change, water scarcity, and rapid population growth that are beginning to bludgeon the Earth’s densely populated coastal regions,” he writes.

    In other stories Rik Williams and Steve Gale explain how new modeling techniques are changing the way USAID thinks about the future, Sreya Panuganti explores why cleaning the Ganges is such a challenge, and Former Vice President Eduardo Stein speaks about water and conflict in Guatemala.
