I don't think the word water has ever been mentioned in any of the debates we've seen this election season. And I'm pretty sure that we won't hear much in the next week and half about where either of the candidates stand on water issues. But, that doesn't mean there aren't differences between the candidates. So, we did our homework and came up with a voter guide for water issues. You may find some interesting surprises in there.

Of course there is a lot more info out there then we could find, so if you have other (legit!) sources of information to help us grow this voter guide, please send it my way -- tara@alternet.org.

Enjoy this week's batch of stories.

Cheers,

Tara Lohan, Managing Editor
