These villages. So if you have a small hall tank in your home, you can truck water to the home and fill the tank, and you can have faucets and you can have a shower and you can have some water in the home in that respect. But as it turns out, that model doesnt deliver a lot of water into the home. And so what weve learned is that homes that have honey buckets that have basically no system other than a central Watering Point where you go fill up buckets, they deliver about 1. 5 gallons of water per person per day. If you have a small hall system, they deliver about 2. 5 gallons of water per person per day. Now, the w. H. O. Recommends a minimum of 13 to 15 gallons per person per day of water. If you look at what the use is in the United States in general, we generally use about 50 gallons per person per day. So our villages in alaska are doing extreme, extreme water rationing, and we know that this isnt just true for alaska. There are other areas in the arctic, some of our other neighbo
Multiagency strategy for understanding and working to develop the science to mitigate the impacts of Unconventional Oil and natural Gas Production and this is with our office and usgs and epa and like wise you see the l recommendations that are pointed to doe. And this report really points back to that role for the arctic as well. In one way the way i think about the work of our office is were the office of science for federal and state regular lay to rs. We were in alaska last week and i can tell you state regulators in alaska are very much focused on these questions and understanding what the science says in an unbiased and neutral manner about this activity can proceed. And those are the same questions that our partners are asking at other federal agencies, and were the the office that they turned to understand what the center of the science understands. And its a vital role that Government Research plays and providing policymakers with an unbiased view of science, technology, and i
And may never get it. So what do we do . Well, one of the interim steps that we had taken was to develop small hall Water Systems into these villages.

Communities and clin igss and governments and others needs to know what works in order to know what to implement more widely. A number of questions arose, how do we do that . How do we know how communities define what works . Thats not always the same as the way researchers define what works. How do decisionmakers define what works and how do the different perspectives intersect . Finally as i mentioned, they noted there were two studies of interventions with the rigorous evaluation. Opportunities that we see from the u. S. Perspective for building on communities, first of all acknowledging that these kinds of problems need shared knowledge and tailored efforts. But when were tailoring intervention interventions, how can we be sure that others are learning from those interventions . If they are successful, whats required for implementation. And once an intervention is implemented, how can one ensure that the intervention can be sustained . So how can the results of successful intervent
