Worldwide there is a growing commitments to swimmable rivers and clean natural waterways.

The case of Bellingen's scenic swimming hole
Bellingen just smashed in a "$5.2M “gate way to the Promised Land” so that mass tourism can speed along the new 'highway' (Gleniffer Road) to the Never Never Creek. It is the town's main 'tourist destination' (but has no public toilet).

In January the Promised Land swimming hole near Bellingen recorded faecal contamination of water. "Council advised swimmers to stay out of the Never Never River.” Humans and dogs were blamed for the faecal matter. "It has been very popular over the holiday period and there are certainly indications that people have been using the riparian area there along the banks for toileting purposes”

it's
(yes i just made this hashtag up because I wanted an excuse to post the following)

and

because in

also because less footprint with higher density

also because less time wasted finding a freaking parking space

also because better with a mixed matrix of green spaces amongst urbanization, serving as

this in turn improves recharge and reduces management and problems because there's less surfaces

mixed matrix of businesses, residences, and green spaces improves local economic by helping local businesses, and also improves

sure, some people will want to live far out in the exurbs on big lawns but not everyone should be condemned to this infrastructure

ponds don’t make great , but in areas, they can be the only around. In our latest paper, led by Waverley Birch, we investigate the effect of stromwater ponds on connectivity within the using . We find that wetlands were more connected before , but ponds may provide stepping stones connecting remnant wetlands in urban areas.

@addie these events will be more frequent. designs and how we and reduce cover and the runoff from our roofs, walks, drives, sidewalks and streets are key. (Btw, I love your neck of the woods.)

@addie get ready. Last summer y’all had 4” rain in an hour like we have here in . Flooded old in towns like . And a string of 90 degree days, which brings on the thunderstorms. Some beaches un swimmable because of carrying sediment, , , more. Here in the Midatlantic, we have some ideas to help. . Latitudes closer to the poles have bigger rises in temps.

Impermeable Surfaces and Flooding

“We spend billions of dollars to pave over paradise,
then we realise we have flooding problems. So we spend billions more to build concrete channels to get the water away from us. Then we realise we have a water supply problem, so we spend billions more to pump water in from elsewhere ... It’s insane and not sustainable.”

"Storms and floods do little for the sprawling, paved-over city, as almost every drop runs out to sea. Private property owners are now charged 2.5 cents per square foot of surface area on their land." Stormwater-capturing gardens could also help.
