Sorry, this is another shameless teacher intrusion alert: I'm not here to write about autism today. I am here on behalf of some third graders thirsting for knowledge. They are learning about water shortages, and they generated a list of questions that I'm posting below in case any of you happen to know any ... uh ... water experts. A longshot, but it never hurts to try.
If you ... or a water, uh, expert ... can help us out, just post here OR email ghkcole at yahoo dot com. Our focus is on understanding the environmental problem of water shortages and thinking about how the community can come together to make things better. Heady stuff in our third grade.

Arrgh. I have worked with so many water/sanitation specialists, and I haven't kept in touch with any of them! I'll see if I know anyone out here in Malawi working on water issues that can help you out.
