This month, Dr. Robert E. Mace explores academic publications on the topics of examining the effectiveness of boil water notices as heath-risk communications, forecasting aquifer water levels in wells in Texas and Florida using an ensemble coactive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and analyzing the potential for using produced water from the Anadarko Basin as a resource for agricultural production.

In this issue, we explore academic publications on the topics of assessing water management strategies for the City of Boerne, Texas, evaluating impacts on Great Plains fishes from groundwater development and reservoir construction on the Upper Brazos River Basin in Texas, and a technical overview of the TexMesonet.

In this issue, we explore academic publications on the topics of evaluating the cost of water saved by power plants switching to dry cooling, testing the effectiveness of best management practices for mitigating fecal pollution, and examining how increasing carbon dioxide levels might affect peanut production in West Texas.

In this issue, we explore academic publications on the topics of household adaptations to mitigate impacts from electric power and water outages in Texas, the relationship between fish mortalities and winter stress, and the impacts of vegetation and topsoil removal on soil erosion, soil moisture, and infiltration
