Author: Travis Leipzig

River Network's Saving Water, Saving Energy blog is humbly featured in a new list of the top 10 best in the 'energy' Ecoblogosphere, alongside some of the eco-focused blog greats.

In a list of 'Best of the Ecoblogosphere' put together by the Ecocentric, the official blog for the sustainable food, water and energy programs of the GRACE Communications Foundation; River Network's Saving Water, Saving Energy blog is featured among other blogs such as New York Times 'Dot Earth,' E2 Wire, Scientific American, NRDC Switchboard, and Yale Environment 360. Ecocentric compiled three 10-blog-lists for the categories Energy, Food and Water, and we are truly honored to be included on such a list.

While we'd hate to lose our faithful readers to other websites, there are some great blogs featured in Ecocentric's list that are well worth checking out. Here is the entirety of Ecocentric's 'Best of the Blogosphere' Energy and Water lists:

Energy
Dot Earth: Science writer Andrew Revkin’s indispensable blog (hosted by the NY Times) explores how we are balancing (or more often, not balancing) the demands of a growing global population with the earth’s finite resources.

E2 Wire (The Hill): The best source for breaking news on all things energy and environment on Capitol Hill – just skip the comments section if you want to maintain your sanity.

EcoGeek: The latest electric car battery, the most efficient solar PV cells, a new portable wind turbine…EcoGeek lives up to its name.

Scientific American: Okay, so it’s an established magazine, but it has a wealth of blogs (including Solar at Home, be still our hearts) and news aggregators (Alternative Energy? Clean Air Policy? Sure!) that make it well worth adding to your RSS feed.

Greentech Media: Maybe you’re fantasizing about playing the market, renewable energy-style? Then this resource for clean energy policy, technology, investment and the latest start-ups is your blog.

NRDC Switchboard: NRDC’s wide breadth of issues, including renewable energy and the water-energy nexus, is nicely synthesized in its staff blog.

Renewable Energy World: “World” is exactly right, as this site includes more than just US news; expect to learn about wind farms in Peru, wave energy in Ireland and solar manufacturing in China.

Saving Water, Saving Energy: This River Network blog is after our own hearts with its relentless pursuit of any story focused on the water-energy nexus.

Vote Solar: Our friends at Vote Solar take often arcane news about solar regulations and policies and churn out fun and easy-to-digest posts of PV goodness.

Yale Environment 360: Yale’s comprehensive source for environmental news also provides a space for energy researchers, policymakers, journalists and businesses to weigh in.

Water
Aguanomics: One of the most interesting, opinionated and committed bloggers around, David Zetland, pours forth in this blog about water, market-based solutions and a whole lot more. A high-intensity read.

Chance of Rain: Follow the water concerns of the Western United States, learn about “dry gardening” and generally find out what it’s like to live in the arid West. Also, drink up the regular Sunday news round-up, “The week that was” for an enjoyable, always edifying look at water headlines.

Circle of Blue: The go-to news and information source for in-depth reporting on topics like water policy, water scarcity here and abroad and our personal favorite, the water-energy nexus.

Global Water Program Magazine: Johns Hopkins University pulls together some high-powered academics and thinkers from the business, science and engineering communities to address the global water crisis.

International Water Law Project Blog: If you want to know about water rights in Mexico or how water conflicts are being resolved between Egypt and Sudan, this instructive blog is the one for you.

jfleck at inkstain: An often-personal journey through the realities of water and other subjects with Albuquerque Journal science writer, John Fleck.

The River Blog: The river and waterway conservation organization, American Rivers, uses this blog to cover the many topics that surround water protection and stop them at its source.

Water Matters: The Water Center at Columbia University’s Earth Institute grapples with water issues in the United States and beyond, with a special emphasis on international and development efforts.

WaterWired: A must read for the true hydrologist or anyone else who loves the ins-and-outs of the water world! Hydrogeologist, professor and all around great guy, Michael “Aquadoc” Campana, maintains an incredibly entertaining yet informative blog.

We All Live Downstream: The blog of the 1.2 million-member strong Clean Water Action organization’s President, John DeCock, coming from a firm position of advocacy on what it takes to keep our water clean and safe.
