Fighting the Flood at the University of Iowa

At The Chronicle of Higher Education's Buildings  Grounds Blog, Lawrence Biemiller has posted a couple of updates on the situation at the University of Iowa, with regard to the heavy flooding there recently—including the submergence of many campus buildings: U. of Iowa Waits for Floodwaters to Recede; Fighting Flood, U. of Iowa Seeks to Conserve Utility Resources. Katherine Mangan wrote this in-depth article, U. of Iowa Flooding Takes Costly Toll in Research and Equipment but, unlike the blog posts by Biemiller, you'll need a Chronicle subscription and password to read the latter.
