Is That Water In Your Pint Glass? I was going to write about hops and the people who crave them this week
As for the idea of adding water to beer to dilute it--that's a pretty typical practice even for homebrewers
It's simply more efficient in time and energy costs to boil smaller volumes of water.

After Hurricane Sandy shoved water into Con Edison's 14th street substation in October causing electricity to arc between capacitors about a quarter million customers were left in the dark.
The city lost power because via water breakers tripped. The breakers tripped for good reasons. If you trip breakers prior to making the situation safe from water you have electrified a lot of fried circuits

The 120-foot-high band of rock bleached nearly white by mineral-rich water circles the shoreline of Lake Mead.
Water levels have dropped by almost 100 feet in the past decade and the ring has emerged as a stark reminder of the drought enveloping the American Southwest.
It also represents a looming crisis for the largest drinking-water reservoir in the U s. one that has prompted the most ambitious water-construction project in recent history.
Two intake pipes already carry water from Lake Mead to Las vegas about 25 miles to the west.
Known as the Third Straw Intake No. 3 will reach 200 feet deeper into the lake nd keep water flowing for
as long as there s water to pump. Lake Mead is more than half empty. If the water drops another 50 feet the first intake pipe will start sucking air.
It basically drought-proofs our existing intakes says Erika Moonin the project s manager and a 17-year veteran of the Southern Nevada Water Authority.
There s a high chance we could lose Intake No. 1 if the drought continues to worsen
On the day of my visit in early February the water s surface elevation was 1108 feet above sea level (the Third Straw will meet the lake bed at 860 feet.
If the water drops another 50 feet the first intake pipe will start sucking air.
That s a problem for Las vegas which gets 90 percent of its water from the pipes.
The Hoover dam just around the corner from the construction site releases water downstream to a series of smaller reservoirs and canals that deliver water to communities throughout the Southwest including my Los angeles neighborhood.
Between 2004 and 2013 the average flow of water from the Glen Canyon Dam just upstream from the Lower Colorado river Basin was 8. 88 million acre-feet.
From there water was diverted to cities and farms in Nevada Arizona and Southern California. By the time it reached Mexico the flow was 1. 55 million acre feet.
Water trickles down the walls. We spend a lot of time fighting water because we re below lake level Moonin says.
The birdcage touches down near a half dozen construction workers setting rebar and I walk past them to peer into the connector tunnel.
In less than two years if all goes well water will fill the void where I m standing
But it s impossible to forget that this is also an act of desperation a last-gasp attempt to keep water flowing from a river that at many spots has already become more a trickle than a torrent.
The agreement allocates 15 million acre-feet each year (picture an acre of land covered with a foot-high layer of water) among the seven Colorado river Basin states:
The compact also acknowledged Mexico s right to water and in 1944 the nation was guaranteed 1. 5 million acre-feet bringing the total to 16.5 million.
The Colorado river is grossly overallocated says Peter Gleick a water expert with the Pacific Institute in Oakland California. ve given away more water than nature provides.
The federal Bureau of Reclamation has predicted that the water level at Lake Mead could fall below 1075 feet of elevation as soon as January 2016 prompting automatic reductions in the states allocations.
The water shortages occuring today might not be an aberration but a return to a historical norm.
If climate change continues to dry out the region Barnett found in a 2009 study Colorado river water deliveries could fall short 60 to 90 percent of the time by midcentury.
Warmer temperatures will also increase evaporation from surface water and reduce the natural reservoirs of mountain snowpack that provide a steady source of meltwater especially in summer.
This drought has been particularly severe in California where agriculture accounts for 80 percent of all water use.
Many residents water bills will remain disconnected from their actual usage eliminating any financial incentive to conserve until a new state law goes into effect in 2025.
In much of the West people haven t worried a whole lot about water since the last extended drought in the mid-1980s.

The fountain in front of the new 4000-room Aria hotel is more modest than most: delicate sprays of water incorporating beams of color.
I enter the soaring lobby to find Chris Magee. Water brought Magee to Vegas too irst on a college swimming scholarship then as a lifeguard at a resort pool.
Now he s the executive director of sustainable facilities for MGM Resorts International which owns the Aria as well as Mandalay Bay and other iconic Vegas properties.
The way we look at it there are two types of water: consumptive and nonconsumptive he says.
Water used for landscaping is mostly consumptive; it evaporates or seeps into the ground. The nonconsumptive is everything that we capture back.
Almost every drop of water that goes into a drain gets back into Lake Mead.
We weave through the casino and take an elevator up a few dozen floors to a luxury suite where Magee points out low-flow fixtures and appliances.

Because homeowners use almost 70 percent of their water outside their property too has been targeted for mandatory desert makeovers.
Robert Kern is one of the water cops (officially investigators) employed to patrol neighborhoods looking for cheats.
This time of year residents are allowed only to water one day a week he says steering his pickup into a neighborhood of older single-family homes.
People are self-conscious about water use he says and they know the regulations. It s everywhere:
Grass takes 55 gallons of water per square foot a year. A water-efficient yard might use 8 to 10 gallons.
Las vegas began ticketing errant water users in 2002 the driest year in recorded history on the Colorado river.
The city now pays residents $1. 50 a square foot to replace turf with desert landscaping.
When he sees water he follows it to its source. We track one rivulet to a single-story home made of pink stucco.
The fee appears as a line item on the water bill. They can contest he says
Since 2002 Las vegas has cut its water use by a third from 314 gallons per capita a day to 212.
Water remains remarkably cheap for example: $1. 16 per thousand gallons of water for the first tier of usage.
I pay about three times that much for the same Colorado river water in Los angeles. Las vegas is in the middle of the desert in the middle of a drought in the midst of a population boom driven by retirees who want to replicate their East Coast gardens in the Mojave.
Still when greater shortages come the city may fare relatively well. The Third Straw is a key component of that insurance policy.
and lake water threatens to flood the chamber from above. Inside the connector tunnel sandbags separate a foot-and-a-half-deep river of water from the active construction zone;
each minute pumps push 1450 gallons to the surface. The water problems in the main intake tunnel are far worse:
When excavation first started the workers had to wear full rain gear. Since it broke ground six years ago the $817-million project has been beleaguered by delays and cost overruns.
which requires the cutter head to pressurize a pocket of air at the rock face to keep water from forcing its way through So far it s encountered 14.5 bars of hydrostatic pressure.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority meanwhile is working on an even more audacious Plan B: a 250-mile $3 billion overland pipeline that would carry water from aquifers in the state s rural eastern valleys to Las vegas. First proposed 30 years ago it remains mired in lawsuits.
Construction is still at least a decade out. Not long ago it might have seemed like Las vegas s mammoth public works projects were an anomaly:
and 10-mile pipeline that are projected to supply 7 percent of San diego s water by 2020.
Further north citizens have engaged in a heated debate over an estimated $15 billion project to dig two tunnels under the Sacramento an Joaquin Delta plan that would improve delivery of river water fed by Sierra nevada snowpack
As Gleick from the Pacific Institute observes The water infrastructure we built in the 20th century isn t necessarily going to serve us in the 21st century.
and the climate changes water will become more valuable and we ll have to spend more money to manage it properly.
Ultimately the price we pay for water should increase as well. Because no number of straws can deliver enough water once there s no water left to move.

Mangrove forests grow in calm shallow coastal waters throughout the tropics. Salt marshes fill that niche in temperate zones.
It causes severe galling symptoms on its host thereby interfering with their water and nutrient uptake from the soil.
For instance freezing and thawing cause air bubbles to form in the plant's internal water transport system.
If enough of these air bubbles come together as water thaws they can block the flow of water from the roots to the leaves and kill the plant.
Some plants such as hickories and oaks avoid freezing damage by dropping their leaves before the winter chill sets ineffectively shutting off the flow of water between roots
and water transport cells when warmer weather returns. Other plants such as birches and poplars also protect themselves by having narrower water transport cells
which makes the parts of the plant that deliver water less susceptible to blockage during freezing and thawing.
Still others die back to the ground in winter and re-sprout from their roots or start growing as new plants from seeds when conditions are right.
Similarly species with narrow water transport cells acquired a finer circulatory system well before they confronted cold climates.
--and challenged our assumptions about familiar waters. Major cities as Williams pointed out to Live Science aren't places you'd think there are still discoveries waiting to be made.
The proposed expansion--roughly 2000 additional square miles--would encompass the largest upwelling site in North america better protecting the nutrient-rich waters that support everything from reefs and seabird colonies to endangered whales.

and maximize water availability in the tropics. During nearly 450 tropical storms a team of visiting scientists from the University of Wyoming measured the amount of runoff from pastureland abandoned pastureland
Storm-water runoff from grazed land is much higher than from forested land. The results are clearest after big storms.
On the other hand forests released more water than grasslands and mixed-use landscapes during the late dry season pointing to the importance of forests in regulating water flow throughout the year in seasonal climates.
Evidence to support the sponge effect was lacking for tropical forests leading some to question its validity.
Land use in the watershed not only affects world commerce but also water availability for Panama's major urban areas.
Our project aims to clearly quantify environmental services such as water flow carbon storage and biodiversity conservation that decision makers will consider as they evaluate projects from forest restoration to watershed management said Jefferson Hall Smithsonian staff scientist and project director.
