Shocking but not surprising the way this government hands the dairy industry a licence to pollute👇 More than 3500 rivers, lakes and estuaries across Aotearoa are under pressure, with new data showing widespread faecal contamination and poor water quality — especially in areas of intensive land use.

New data reveals widespread contamination in New Zealand's waterways

Two-thirds of monitored river sites and half of groundwater bores were affected by faecal contamination, while two-thirds of lakes were rated in poor or very poor condition.

A few weeks ago, I shared with the students of my “International Tourism” course this interesting, but worrisome, article. Key West in Florida has been studying how cruise ships docking affect the quality of water: it stirs up as much as sediment as a hurricane. www.npr.org/transcripts/...

In Key West, testing shows cruise ships stir up as much sediment as a hurricane

Tests in Key West show sediment stirred up by cruise ships, which can harm marine life, routinely exceed federal standards. Key West has responded by suspending the tests.

Beavers improve water quality Several studies have found that beaver ponds reduce nitrogen pollution in watercourses – with many of the nitrates digested by the bacteria in the pond and others trapped by the sediments. 🧵5/6

🌀 Oxygen sinks in inland waters Inland waters have become massive sinks of atmospheric oxygen. From 1900–2010, oxygen consumption tripled due to more nutrients, warming, & damming rivers These shifts may affect climate and water quality worldwide. 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #SciComm 🧪

Global inland-water oxygen cycle has changed in the Anthropocene

Inland waters are an increasing sink of oxygen as a result of faster oxygen turnover.

If you give a dam about drought mitigation, water quality, wildlife habitat, salmon restoration, carbon sequestration, & wildfire resilience, then every day is #InternationalBeaverDay. April 7 just happens to be the occasion on which we formally acknowledge the debt we owe our semiaquatic saviors. 🙏

OUT NOW: A fantastic new read for hydrologists 📚: a wrap-up of the Panta Rhei scientific decade of @iahs-aish.bsky.social. Between 2013 and 2022, it explored links between changes in hydrology and society. 🌍 In this paper, Heidi Kreibich and her colleagues present ten years of progress. 👇

Our Hydrology/Hydrogeology/Water+ is now full (150 spots filled). Wow! This was quick...yet, very time consuming thing to do. However, it’s been great helping colleagues reconnect and make new contacts here. Time for a well-earned break before thinking about Part 2. Cheers! go.bsky.app/2h9ouZY
