The latest #snowpack map from #USDA #NRCS continues to bring good news, with most basins, including the #ColoradoRiver, at or above the long-term median. But, as always, the story is a little more complicated than that. Heavy snow in CA can lead to devastating #flooding. The CO #watersheds draining into the Arkansas, White, and Red Rivers are still dry. And #drought conditions have persisted in the #pnw where soil moisture, streamflow, and reservoir levels remain low despite a healthy snowpack.

Another snowy weekend has boosted #snowpack even more across the #West, according to the latest from the #USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Conditions improved in the #Northwest especially, and for the first time this winter, #watersheds across #Oregon are all at or above their long-term average.

The Danube bioregion — more to come on this!
(... Okay, here's a preview of a bioregional mapping workshop: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tncP0omXFTdoZ7Uux3rGJnoYpfFlFAWwwjFzgQLy0SY/edit?usp=sharing)

#Snowpack is looking strong compared to the long-term average in most #watersheds (left image). Compared to a month ago though (right image), things aren’t looking as good in the #pnw, especially in western Oregon, the Idaho panhandle, and northwest Montana. In contrast, New Mexico and Arizona have improved significantly this month.

#InsideClimateNews: Restoring #Watersheds, and Hope, After New Mexico’s Record-Breaking #Wildfires
Local nonprofits and a tribe that recovered from earlier blazes are critical allies for communities threatened by floods after the largest fire in state history.

As one of the first projects of an International Collective People's Movement (https://rebrand.ly/peoples-join), which anybody can begin:

1. A collective, international front — of laborers, farmers, nurses, parents and caretakers builders and architects, workers and technicians, couriers and municipal workers — leading localization efforts (centered around agroecology and local food sovereignty, and local worker/community-owned industries and services), pushing for demilitarization and a transition to peacetime economies, pushing for climate debt payments from rich/imperialist/colonial countries to the countries they have oppressed and kept poor, pushing for land back and agrarian reform.
2. Growing agroecological food in local foodsheds, mapped over local watersheds.
3. Demanding demilitarization, transition to peacetime economies, and the conversion of existing military industrial bases into factories that export technologies for transitioning worlds.
4. Demanding land back, property reform, the honoring of treaty rights, land to those that work it, and universal housing — paid for by the state, as cities like Vienna and Singapore have done.
5. All of the things we need, we get automatically from living in a community — doing so in a way that does not damage the non-human environment, that uses locally sourced and stewarded materials, that provides fair wages and ownership to workers and community, including to those who provide domestic work and all others whose work and contributions are ignored in the capitalist budgets.
This can begin with worker and community-led cooperative efforts, to produce and provision the things we need and the services we wish for — starting with food, wherever we are — and aligned with internationalist and ecological values. It can likewise start with the localization of materials, services, landscape management (which provides local material inputs), and the transition of existing services into worker and community-owned services. Transition what we have already to worker and community ownership, and build what we need with worker and community ownership — all with local production and inputs, and international and ecological values. Transition our economic activity to these local circuits. Fight and build. Struggle and choice.
Want to join the front, and start making this real — locally and internationally? You can join this groups.io instance (https://groups.io/g/peoples/join) so we can start communicating and collaborating. Know other groups/people who would want to join? You can invite/add them to the group once you join. (This is an initial step to help communicate and collaborate — we can build and design other ways to communicate and collaborate as well.)

This is in the spirit of the People's Agreement of Cochabamba (2010), and building on that, Max Ajl's "A People's Green New Deal". More details on that below.

"High microbial activity in the #permafrost -dominated #watersheds" was the prompt for this illustration generated by #midjourney
The prompt is a quote from the abstract for the #AGU22 session "Seasonal and longitudinal variability in mercury concentrations in Arctic rivers".

Correction:
... These mines are not only polluting the #water in BC, AB, MT, ID [ #IJC]; they're polluting whole #watersheds in BC & AB via atmospheric deposition of dust from mining waste. dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.estlett.2c00677
I know you're shocked.
For a decade Ktunaxa Nation has been calling for a Canada-U.S. body to investigate #coal #pollution. New records show the B.C. government and Teck Resources lobbied against it. These mines are not only polluting the #water supply; they're polluting #watersheds in BC, AB, MT, ID #IJC

I am leading a #conservation organization working in Michigan, which touches 3 of the largest freshwater lakes in the world. Anyone have suggestions for books/articles/etc. outlining ‘Management for Climate Change Adaptation’ practices, projects & outcomes? Trying to do what we can to prepare and manage changes in our local ecosystems and the impact of a significant increase in population in the Great Lakes region specifically on our #watersheds.
