At the center of Turkey’s woes are severe #drought conditions and diminished #groundwater levels — caused by a combination of #climatechange and #water #management policies — that have taxed water supplies as never before. #Power plant #reservoirs, #freshwater sources, and #potable water supplies dwindled to all-time lows this summer, threatening the drinking water supplies of major cities. https://e360.yale.edu/features/as-the-climate-bakes-turkey-faces-a-future-without-water

I am posting my linocut print ‘Blood, sweat and tears’ for the #WaterDocsARTivism challenge for the theme ‘Water is Life: Interconnection’. Printed from 8 hand-carved blocks it shows blood cells racing through an artery, a cross-section of our skin with a sweat gland, an eye with a tear & a section of ocean seawater.

the #WaterWars rapidly approach
Water is used to manufacture goods, extract minerals & produce energy, but its biggest use, globally, is for food production

Went to Mountain "Lake" yesterday for a faculty retreat and I had to get some samples to look for microbes while I was there. Pretty epic mud.
The claim to fame of this lake is that Dirty Dancing was filmed here (when the lake was full). It is one of two natural lakes in Virginia and it has highly unstable water levels.

The Beaufort Gyre (BG), the largest Arctic Ocean #freshwater reservoir, has drastically increased its liquid freshwater content by 40% in the past two decades. If released within a short period, the excess freshwater could potentially impact the large-scale #ocean circulation by freshening the upper subpolar North Atlantic. #climatechange https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21470-3

With less than a year to go, the Murray-Darling Basin Plan is in a dreadful mess. These 5 steps are needed to fix it
"The Murray-Darling Basin covers about a seventh of the Australian land mass: most of New South Wales, parts of Queensland, South Australia and Victoria, and all of the Australian Capital Territory. It includes the Murray River and Darling River/Baarka and their tributaries...."
