satellite data shows that some #SurfaceWaters in the area are almost 👉4 degrees Celsius (about 7 degrees Fahrenheit) above normal👈 for this time of the year,..."

But the abnormal warming will affect much larger areas than the #NorthAtlantic:

“A warm Atlantic tends to have a lot of global influences.” (2)

Paper Alert Dominique Narain-Ford; quantified a range of #ContaminantsOfEmergingConcern in a full-scale cropland with direct reuse of #sewage effluent in a sub-surface #irrigation system. We found high removal efficiencies that benefit the #surfacewaters. Care must be taken for #CECs that are (moderately) #hydrophobic as these significantly accumulate around infiltration pipes and show no significant removal in the rhizosphere. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0043135422012489
