This is a very interesting proposal; hope there’s good analysis and documentation about #evaporation rates. It’s clear that Nature has developed some systems for atmospheric modulation and humans do well when we work within #environmentalengineering . It also makes sense to build #renewable infrastructures such as #solar over existing canals and hard scape #floodcontrol, #engineering walls. https://mastodon.tucsonsentinel.com/@TucsonSentinel/110753824491358839

#JosiahAustin and #ValerAustin built 20,000 loose rock dams and water detention structures in the #desert wasteland of the El Coronado Ranch in the Chiricahua Mountains of SE #Arizona. These structures slow floods by 50%, and increased water retention by 28%, leading rapidly to vegetative growth, wildlife and as much #CarbonSequestration as #CoastalWetlands. Recognized by US govt agencies and science studies.

State of the San Lorenzo River Symposium
March 81, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, London Nelson Community Center, 301 Center Street in #SantaCruz.
San Lorenzo Lagoon Tour, 12:30 pm.
Please join us on March 18th to hear from local experts about historic #rain events, #floodcontrol measures, #SeaLevelRise, and more!
Doors open at 8:30 -- come meet some of the local organizations that work to preserve, restore, and honor the #SanLorenzoRiver #Watershed and its communities.

Seeing that there are multiple imminent levee failures far to the north of us makes me wonder what happened to all the money provided for by Prop 1E, which was supposed to be addressing outdated flood control systems.

Bob Bancroft and Alice Reed's property is gorgeous. Their 27 Acre donation is home to #oldGrowth forest - rare in New Brunswick. Its silver maple floodplain forest protects river systems + ofers #floodControl. The land's #wetlands are breeding grounds for birds +reptiles - Stephanie Merrill, CEO #Nature Trust #NewBrunswick
