Dear David ("certified Map Guy™"😄), this is a great story. While I can't really speak for the entire water sector, I'm pretty sure all would forgive you for the typo because this graphic is so effective. It actually is perfect! #workhard #livelong #teachwell

Some beautiful connections made in a beautiful environment!

Don't miss this bright spot on the #climate news landscape: renewable energy has passed a positive tipping point where solar is now 41% cheaper and wind power 53% cheaper globally than the lowest-cost fossil fuel - UN www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/environment/...

Great interview on Metro Morning with Jennifer Bonnell, author of Reclaiming the Don, about the bold history of Toronto's iconic river. More news this week about the opening of Biidaasige Park jenniferbonnell.com/books-public... @toronto.ca @waterfrontoronto.bsky.social @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

Meet DataStream's Data Services Manager, Patrick!

From friends, at a water festival in Lyon, France.

Enjoyed this one a lot!

Indigenous traditional knowledge should be considered with equal weight to Western science when it comes to assessing water, says some Indigenous governments. The Wek'èezhìi Land and Water Board is holding a public hearing about Diavik diamond mine, in Behchokǫ this week www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

So excited to see this new communications space for ALUS' New Acre carbon sequestration work. #ALUS farmers and ranchers are delivering so much benefit to Canadians, it's inspiring. If you work on #climate issues, you need to look at this. alus.shorthandstories.com/nature-to-ne...

Celebrating my dear friend Cindy's 50th with a bike ride & then onto Massey Hall (131) for Oscar Peterson's 100th! What a great day! #JazzSky @teamroxycindy #oscarpeterson

Collaborating with researchers that leverage AI to make use of community-based water monitoring data is a powerful combination! We've seen it work for water data. Wouldn't it be great if Canada considered CBS in #SDG reporting? @nanditabasu.bsky.social

New drops: Inspired by #Handel's Water Music (1717), “Echoes of the Thames” transports listeners across 150 years of water quality data. Performed by #Indiana U’s #Baroque Orchestra. 🎵 Who knew the #phosphorus loads could sound so beautiful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x6Q...

Meet our new Data Specialist, Jessica. She's amazing!

Such incredible work coming out of Hakai!

Robert Macfarlane: Is a River Alive? Mon. May 26, 2025 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Toronto Reference Library @toronto.ca

Looking forward to seeing the huge network of supporters and partner that are now following through on the interests of that group! #rivergala

Yep. One of the most notable moments in my career was a visit to Flinders from Ghislain de Marsily during my PhD. He made the point that aquifer heterogeneity is a good thing because it means we need many hydrogeologists. We have so much to learn about the subsurface.

Totally agree @dylanjirvine.bsky.social . There's still so much to uncover and analyse to ensure the protection of our water resources down here. Money should invested wisely.

Loving all the stories about Great Lakes affection being shared in CBC Radio 1 Ontario Today #OntarioToday #LakeErieLove

A great look of PFAS contamination across Canada.

A lovely read. As told by law professor Aimée Craft.

The “blue economy” in the Great Lakes region is many things to many people. How can we steward water to provide jobs and attract businesses without inflicting severe ecological damage? @thenarwhal.ca investigates this question in their new blue economy series: thenarwhal.ca/great-lakes-...

DataStream doesn't have a #Mars hub to share intergalactic data at present; however, plans to take in #groundwater data are underway!

Want to see the how this dataset translates to music? This is so cool: “Echoes of the Thames” uwaterloo.ca/water-instit... @uwaterloo.ca

I always enjoy the Ego Meter, but I was tickled to see the discovery of #bryozoa (an indicator of water quality), at the mouth of the Don, made the list! Bryozoa are super cool. 🕶️🐟

What a great man (Hui Yen 'Sam' Louie). The memories I have of #Grossmans Tavern Sunday Jazz are legendary. Such an iconic Toronto space, of the best kind. Get your parasols up! 🎵🎷☂️ @theglobeandmail.com #LivesLived www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Can I get a witness?!

Deeply unsettling, requiring Canadian diplomacy. GLOS provides vital observing tools and data that protect Great Lakes communities by reducing the risk of weather-caused damage and loss of life. @mark-carney.bsky.social #KirstenHillman #datarescue

This makes me happy. It's a great series. Go @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social Gem! #NorthofNorth #AnnaLambe www.msn.com/en-ca/movies...

Tough medicine to swallow for some experts, but wise, nonetheless.

This is nuts.

Indeed! But it shouldn't be this hard. Methods: "They spent more than a year interviewing scientists [...] analyzed millions of sampling results from a state database [...] submitted >140 public records requests to state, regional and federal agencies. Getting information wasn’t always easy."

We're looking forward to this!

We had so much fun at the launch. What a great day for water monitoring groups and everyone in the water sector! Congrats to the @waterrangers.bsky.social team!

So excited for this!

Everybody in the bog gettin' fluxey. That's a #wetland JAM! 💚 💚💚 (In studies on wetland C, 'flux' describes the rate of accumulation, transformation, or transportation of carbon). Thanks Maria et al!

Toronto has pivoted from snowstorms to showers, and with that comes the risk of flooding. Here's how to protect your home 🏠 #Toronto #ONstorm nowtoronto.com/news/toronto...

I understand that all eyes are on _____; even still, I wish The @economist.com could abstain from putting him on the cover.

Hydrology Paper of the Day @peatofmind.bsky.social on 75 years of studying wetland hydrological processes in Canada: classification of wetlands based on environment and landscapes; fluxes and paritioning at different scales; and effects, impacts and processes due to landscape and climate changes.

Love Data Week is coming to an end, but this year's theme, "Whose Data Is It, Anyway?" is prescient as ever. Major concerns south of the border about the removal of public data highlight the importance of open, well-supported infrastructure. Don't know what you've got until it's gone. 💘 #LoveData25
