In the closing days of Iowa's legislative year, the Governor has signed 
into law a bill that will change the way many communities get funding 
for wastewater projects:

The amount of water required to produce one gallon of ethanol from 
California corn is 400 times bigger than the amount of water required to 
produce an equivalent gallon of ethanol from Iowa corn:

Despite some back-and-forth about the Platte River's level of 
allocation, the Nebraska legislature has voted to make it harder to get 
a permit for a water well in the region:

It's challenging to ensure that wastewater samples are regularly and 
reliably collected throughout the year, but refrigerated and portable 
automatic wastewater samplers are available to make operators' lives 
easier. We've been working with QCEC to help deliver their automatic 
samplers to the wastewater community for many years, but their recent 
product upgrades -- resulting in the "QLS" or "Quick Lift Sampler" -- 
are really something to get excited about.  The QLS is a "self-learning 
sampler", which means it learns to correct sample sizes automatically to 
deliver the most accurate sample size possible, and it possesses an 
industry-leading lift capacity of 28' -- that's 28 feet of pure vertical 
lift.
