Since we tend to take water for granted, it is almost a bad sign when it is in the news; and lately there have been plenty of water-related stories from South, East, and Southeast Asia. They have ranged from the distressingly familiar - suicides of North Indian farmers who can no longer get enough water - to stories most people find surprising (evidence that pressure from water in the reservoir behind the new Zipingpu dam may have triggered the massive Sichuan earthquake last May). Meanwhile, glaciers, which almost never made news, are now generating plenty of worrisome headlines
