Nearly 30,000 households in #BritishColumbia were ordered to #evacuate following the emergence of roughly 400 #wildfires across the province. It is currently #Canadaโs worst #wildfire season on record, with at least 1,000 fires burning across the country.

#Uruguay is experiencing an unprecedented #watercrisis as #drought threatens supplies of drinking #water for more than half of its 3.5 million people. The countryโs #water utility, which is state-run, began mixing brackish #water from the #RiodelaPlata with remaining #freshwater supplies in an effort to avoid service cuts in #Montevideo and other nearby areas. This water has been deemed unfit for high-risk groups, such as pregnant women, to drink.

I've spent the past few months battling cyanobacteria in my 29gal planted community #freshwater #aquarium. I ended up pulling 90% of my plants and other stuff (driftwood, large rocks) out of my tank and have been monitoring it without adding new plants or animals. it has been looking good so today I added a few brazilian swords and a brazilian pennywort along with a school of harlequin rasboras. #aquaria

'Joy and challenge often go hand-in-hand on Lake Superior, a freshwater lake with conditions that demand it be respected as a sea.
'"It's so expansive. It feels like it goes on and on," said [artist Annie] Hejny. "But there's another shoreline on the other side. What does it look like to be on the other shoreline looking back?"' #art #FreshWater #LakeSuperior

in the endless battle against cyanobacteria in my 29gal planted community #freshwater #aquarium, did a 40% water change (though water parameters are perfect), pulled out a lot of substrate and plants. read something that says that cyanobacteria in aquariums thrives in environments with low or no nitrate. meaning that maybe adding bioload (read: more fish) to my tank could help (i only have three fish right now plus snails).
