91 years is a good long run for most but too short for someone like Jane Goodall. Damn.

💧 Maria Warter is launching her project ‘Water-conscious cities of the future’. Her junior research group wants to investigate how urban waters respond to human intervention and how restoration measures improve biodiversity, water quality and urban life. 🌿 More: www.igb-berlin.de/en/news/bode...

A new study finds over 70% of Illinois wetlands lost protection after the Supreme Court’s rollback of the Clean Water Act. Floodplain forests—vital for flood control, water quality, and climate resilience—are most at risk. Illinois needs to pass a state law protecting wetlands.

The Izaak Walton League of America’s Iowa division has started a grassroots campaign to raise funds for a water quality monitoring program, formerly funded by the state, at the University of Iowa, Cami Koons reports.

The environment here is stunning, but the work is serious—understanding the local water quality is vital for the community and our planet's health. Big thanks to the locals for their support! #WaterResearch #NomeAlaska #Sustainability #EnvironmentalScience #DrRogerTipton #CleanWater

Iowa's water quality issue—and how the Iowa Farm Bureau has shaped the state's lack of regulation—is now national. Bloomberg's piece is paywalled, but you can watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KXO...

Shocking but not surprising the way this government hands the dairy industry a licence to pollute👇 More than 3500 rivers, lakes and estuaries across Aotearoa are under pressure, with new data showing widespread faecal contamination and poor water quality — especially in areas of intensive land use.

A few weeks ago, I shared with the students of my “International Tourism” course this interesting, but worrisome, article. Key West in Florida has been studying how cruise ships docking affect the quality of water: it stirs up as much as sediment as a hurricane. www.npr.org/transcripts/...

Beavers improve water quality Several studies have found that beaver ponds reduce nitrogen pollution in watercourses – with many of the nitrates digested by the bacteria in the pond and others trapped by the sediments. 🧵5/6

🌀 Oxygen sinks in inland waters Inland waters have become massive sinks of atmospheric oxygen. From 1900–2010, oxygen consumption tripled due to more nutrients, warming, & damming rivers These shifts may affect climate and water quality worldwide. 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #SciComm 🧪

OUT NOW: A fantastic new read for hydrologists 📚: a wrap-up of the Panta Rhei scientific decade of @iahs-aish.bsky.social. Between 2013 and 2022, it explored links between changes in hydrology and society. 🌍 In this paper, Heidi Kreibich and her colleagues present ten years of progress. 👇

California has put a water-stressed farming region on notice for having “inadequate” plans to curb its overuse of groundwater, bringing officials closer to directly intervening, for the first time in state history, in the way growers manage their underground water supplies.
