#ColquitzRiver had flooded out but has now receded. It will likely flood again because more rains are expected this week.

#30daymapchallenge Day 27 "Boundaries": imagining a North America with countries, states, and counties replaced by nested watersheds at multiple scales. I used data from the CEC's North American Environmental Atlas to map the major watersheds of North America using a color palette, text style, and overall aesthetic inspired by 1950s era political maps.
Public water should not be put up for sale, ever. I'm not confident about this coalition because words are important - their words sound like they are OK negotiating sales of public water - it sounds like covert greenwashing. We need degrowth of ecocide industries & watershed protection for ecological, environmental & human rights purposes - above all other purposes.
Commodifying public water is not in the best interests of the public.

Right now, #BritishColumbia has the lowest industrial #water rates in #Canada - effectively giving away one of our most vital #PublicResources to some of the world’s largest industries. Meanwhile, communities are left struggling to fund the response to worsening droughts, floods, wildfires, and drinking water crises.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Bringing BC’s industrial water rates in line with other provinces is a fair, practical way to:
Fund stronger watershed security
Support sustainable economic growth.
Keep communities safe and resilient to floods, fires, and water shortages.
Safeguard BC jobs, grow food, and protect the economy — every industry depends on water.
Do it all without costing taxpayers a dime.
This is a simple, fair, and fiscally responsible solution that will build long-term watershed security across BC.

Investing in #WatershedSecurity aligns with the values of a significant majority of voters, as 78% of British Columbians want to see major investments from the provincial government to protect freshwater in BC.

The recklessness of #DanielleSmith and her #UCP corporate clowns is mind boggling. Show us the evidence that no harm will be done to downstream #ecosystems and #watersheds. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/tailings-release-health-1.7635669
A group of N.W.T. doctors and water rights experts say Alberta and Canada should shelve its plans to permit the release of partially treated tailings until rigorous research into the cumulative human health impacts of oil and gas pollution are fully studied.

An indigenous group dedicated to protecting northern waterways is worried that proposed changes to water laws in Alberta will further lower N.W.T. rivers and lakes and worsen communities’ ability to travel, hunt, fish and ship goods.
Good Morning #Canada
The Beaver is the only mammal, besides humans, that is able to re-engineer their environment to support their lifestyle. Humans can use this Beaver superpower for good, rebuilding #Watersheds and increasing storage of water to combat drought and wildfires. Provinces are reintroduc8ng Beavers to their historical habitats, and even moving pairs of Beavers to desert regions in the U.S. to totally transform landscapes.
