Sea levels are rising not just due to melting ice. Pumping groundwater and rushing surface water off the land is a significant contributor. Recharging depleted aquifers via #slowwater projects could slow the rate of sea-level rise by as much as half, says Dr. Warren Wood. https://rdcu.be/d5ouG

Mr. Sponge City, Kongjian Yu, makes cities porous to soften floods & droughts. I told his story, part of the global #slowwater movement, in my book "Water Always Wins." Now we & Dr. Warren Wood have a Comment in Nature Water on how to help stabilize the climate: a Sponge Planet. @springernature https://rdcu.be/d5ouG

Thank you, Alan Shapiro, for invoking #slowwater and "Water Always Wins" in this excellent op/ed in Corporate Knights that gives an overview of Canada's current problems with #water and their evolving relationship. https://www.corporateknights.com/category-climate/floods-droughts-water-green-infrastructure/

I'll be talking about British Columbia's drought and what we can do about it at 12:20 Pacific on BC Today, airing on CBC. Please tune in! #slowwater

Fear of floods -- a big cause of which is our built infrastructure -- leads to wasting water and scarcity in the dry season. All over the world. Big thanks to Crawford Killian and @thetyee for this review of "Water Always Wins" and #slowwater. https://thetyee.ca/Culture/2024/02/06/Water-Always-Wins-Book/

I was honored to give the keynote at Colorado Water Congress last week. Engineers, tribal citizens, city managers, ranchers, farmers, water utilities listened to "Water Always Wins"' message of #slowwater. #water management orgs seem open to change; they keep inviting me.

@HampshireKarin I've not heard the term "water meadows" -- but that's exactly what they are. Is that term UK-wide? Or regional? I wrote about meadows as a #slowwater habitat in my book, "Water Always Wins."
