English Today, 2008
ABSTRACTIt is such a simple word for so versatile and important a liquid. We drink it, cook with it, wash in it, sail across it, swim in it, sprinkle it on our flowers and, when the need arises, we put fires out with it. In some parts of the world there is too much of it and in other parts it is so scarce that it is more precious than gold. It is older

Science News, 1993
The first part of this article describes the current understanding of the dynamic interaction between protein folding and function and water, dependent on the polarity of water. The second part examines the role of water in converting organic matter into oil and coal by summarizing the history and result of experiments done over the last 13 years by ...

Refocus, 2001
Abstract The reliable and safe provision of fresh water is turning out to be one of the major constraints, which many parts of the world are currently facing. The historical approach of developing new water sources to meet the rapidly increasing demand has reached its limits because inexpensive resources have already been developed and new ones are ...

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2010
With great humility I have accepted the position of editor of the Journal of Hydraulic Engineering JHE beginning this month. It is not an opportunity that I ever expected to receive, nor a decision that I have taken lightly. I appreciate the encouragement offered by past JHE editors Dennis Lyn, Pierre Julien, and Rob Ettema, as well as that of Steve ...
