It may fall from the sky, in one form or another, but #industry should be charged for #water fairly like any other natural resource. With the #climatecrisis water will become a increasingly rare #commodity

Water-stressed BC towns want the province to stop 'giving water away' to industry

With little water to spare amid low snowpacks in parts of BC, protecting what has accumulated has become "incredibly important," said Blair Ireland, the mayor of Lake Country, BC. His problem is that protecting those lakes and streams is difficult and expensive.

#watershed #illustration for Silver View Pond in Mound’s View MN. The swale will direct storm water runoff into the water basin. The native plants in the water basin will pull pollutions from the water before it reaches the pond, which eventually leads to the Minnesota River, which eventually leads to more and more bodies of water. Waterways are connected, people!!! But also using all our fresh water to help AI create dumb bullshit is a smart long term idea and will have zero bad ramifications

Forest loss can make watersheds 'leakier,' global study suggests

Forest loss does more than reduce tree cover. A new global study involving UBC Okanagan researchers shows it can fundamentally change how watersheds hold and release water. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, analyzed data from 657 watersheds across six continents.

A quotation from Wendell Berry

People who live at the lower ends of watersheds cannot be isolationists — or not for long. Pretty soon they will notice that water flows, and that will set them to thinking about the people upstream who either do or do not send down their silt and pollutants and garbage. Thinking about the people upstream out to cause further thinking about the people downstream. Such pondering on the facts of gravity and the fluidity of water shows us that the golden rule speaks to a condition of absolute interdependency and obligation. People who live on rivers — or, in fact, anywhere in a watershed — might rephrase the rule in this way: Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.

Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

Meteorologist Issues Dire Water Warning for 4 States

A renowned meteorologist recently shared a dire message about the state of the upper Colorado River #watershed, which is composed of Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico, amid a prolonged snow #drought across the region.

"Even with average snow the rest of the season, we will NEVER make up the deficit in the upper Colorado River watershed. This could have serious power and water ramifications going forward."
