4. World Demand for Geosynthetics to Reach 4.7 Billion Square Meters in 2013
   Global demand for geosynthetics is projected to increase 5.3 percent annually to 4.7 billion square meters in 2013. Countries such as China, India and Russia that are building large-scale infrastructure developments and face evolving environmental protection regulations and building construction codes are expected to post the strongest gains through the forecast period. Geogrids are forecast to achieve the fastest gains through 2013; however, sales of geogrids will only account for eleven percent of total global geosynthetics sales. While growth in geosynthetics demand is expected to be substantial in nearly every region, the underlying reasons for that growth can vary widely. These and other trends, including market share and product segmentation, are presented in World Geosynthetics, a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry research firm.

8. Inhofe votes to preserve funding for Oklahoma flood prevention
   U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., voted against an amendment that would eliminate funding for watershed and flood prevention for fiscal year 2010 from the Agriculture Appropriations Bill, H.R.2997.
   Under the Watershed program, 2,105 upstream flood control dams have been constructed in 121 watersheds in 64 counties across Oklahoma, providing benefits such as flood control, water supply, erosion control, recreation, wetlands and wildlife habitat.
   The amendment, failed in the Senate by a vote of 70 to 27.

9. Terraces a solution to erosion control­—funds available
   The last 12 months have brought heavy rains and several storms to many of our southwest Nebraska farms.
   With the increase in rain, we are also seeing an increase in erosion.
   The soils in our area are very prone to erosion and unfortunately the top soil layers are not very thick. If water flows for a distances of 400 to 500 feet, it will start to cut and the erosion process is alive and well.
   In many cases, simply using a high residue cropping system or farming no-till will be enough to control water erosion. However,...

10. Elkhorn Slough Foundation received $3.95 million to control erosion and protect wetlands from tides
    ELKHORN SLOUGH -- The eroding tidal wetlands of Elkhorn Slough will get the structural support they need, thanks to financial support from the federal government.
    The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration issued a $3.95 million grant to the Elkhorn Slough Foundation Tuesday to build an underwater dam for erosion control in the 750-acre wetland.
    "The grant will allow us to protect the salt marshes from erosion and species that rely on the area for food," said Bryan Largay, director of the Tidal Wetland Project. "That includes sea otters, crabs, red-legged frogs and many shorebirds."

12. Coastal property owners wary of climate change, unwilling to pocket remedies
    By Kevin Miller
    BDN Staff
    BELFAST, Maine — An overwhelming majority of southern and midcoast Maine coastal property owners surveyed by researchers expressed serious concerns about the potential impacts of climate change on their area.
    But in an indication of the challenge facing both scientists and policy makers, most respondents said they were unsure about what can and should be done to prevent loss of valuable coastal land due to more rapid erosion, sea-level rise and stronger storms.

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers probably has done more environmental damage to this country than any other single entity, with the exception of farming.
    Its dams, canals and other projects have destroyed wetlands, wiped out fish-spawning areas, flooded valleys, caused serious erosion problems and imported more exotic animals than anyone since Noah.

15. GPS Helps Locate Soil Erosion Pathways
    ScienceDaily (Aug. 17, 2009) — Grassed waterways are placed in agricultural fields where runoff water tends to concentrate because they can substantially reduce soil erosion. Mapping techniques that help identify where erosion channels will likely form could help farmers and conservation professionals do a better job of designing and locating grassed waterways in agricultural fields.
