SIRS Issues Researcher: I had forgotten all about this dandy site since taking the Challenge two years ago. I got 9 website results. The advantage of the sites found via Researcher is that they are vetted by the main site. A Google or Yahoo search can lead you to a lot of unverified, biased, or inaccurate information. The summaries of each website offered by Researcher are also very helpful.
Regarding water restrictions, I found that selecting "water use" from the Leading Issues list was the fastest way to access information. It is also helpful that each result provides a list of related subjects that the learner can explore. I remember thinking last time I did this Challenge that I wish I'd had access to it when I was in high school debate.
Glad to remind you of this one, Gentle Reader. Good answers, and I hope you will remember to show this to your patrons when it's appropriate. Thanks for the comments.
