The Water Cooler
Virginia Water Central says "¡Hola!"
Alan Raflo, research associate
and Virginia Water Central editor
by Alan Raflo
Just as water and watersheds cross political boundaries, the need for information about responsible use and protection of water resources crosses over language barriers. Accordingly, beginning with this issue Water Central will endeavor to include occasionally a Spanish translation of selected short articles or items intended to help people make informed choices about Virginia’s water resources.
The December 2007 issue includes a Spanish version of “Water Quality and You” (tips for individuals to help prevent water pollution).
I hope the translations will be useful in schools, libraries, businesses, and communities to provide information on water stewardship and public health to Spanish speakers in Virginia.
