For the 2024 calendar year, Missouri River basin runoff above Sioux City, Iowa totaled 23.3 million acre-feet, 91% of average. Dry conditions continue to affect the upper Missouri River Basin at the start of the 2025 calendar year, so the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is forecasting below-average runoff into the mainstem reservoir system. For 2025, runoff in the Missouri River basin above Sioux City, Iowa is forecast to be 20.2 MAF, 79% of average.

The frequency and vibration of knowledge can move us in many ways. Let's review some yellow paper notes from the war college. Fatalism results when nothing can stop what's coming. Becoming familiar with the ancient books of Greece and China. This is a war like no other. The Chinese laws of Moses. Ever heard of them? The West has always been the focus of world history. Borders change just like solutions. The Athenians are what modern democrats pretend to be. Spartans were the bad ass conservatives. Women were highly regarded as generals. Spartan infrastructure and order were challenged by sanctuary cities. First destroy your enemies from within. Who funded the wars of the Greek empire? The phrase all roads lead to Rome, was manufactured. The Divine Farmer and the beginning of traditional Chinese medicine. Only following a righteous path can lead to life's real success. Where did the Greeks get their bronze? The Augusts, the Emperors and the woman goddess. World wide floods seemed to have been a problem. The Christmas Tree nebula. Heavy gravity thoughts. Oh, and we're going to war. The blurred lines are purposeful. We will be nerding out in 2025. Real knowledge in God is the only path to true freedom. Surrender, and your inner truth will have been chosen from Him.

What a week it has been! Host Raheel Ramzanali and political analyst Rafael Lemaitre are recapping the big takeaways from the election. From local grassroots efforts to fight against the historic HISD bond to why there was such a huge shift amongst Texas Latinos to the Republican party, and why your taxes will be going up in Harris County. Plus, after such a heavy week, we get our moments of joy from both Raheel and Rafael.  Here's more about the stories we talked about: Inside the parent-led campaign to topple HISD's massive $4.4 billion school bond More than half of Latino Texans voted for Trump. Here's why. Stemming flood water with higher taxes: Harris Co. Flood Control is asking voters for more funds Republicans win 10 of 16 county-wide judicial races, causing unexpected shakeup in Harris County A remembrance: Chauncy Glover was the hero friend I needed Hurricane Rafael expected to track westward in the Gulf of Mexico.

Episode: 1135 Trying to hold a river that doesn't want to be held.  Today, the Mississippi writes a parable about going with the flow.

January runoff in the Missouri River Basin above Sioux City was 0.4 million acre-feet, 56% of average. Runoff was well-below-average due to much-below-normal temperatures over the whole Missouri River Basin and below-normal precipitation over most of the upper basin. The 2024 calendar year runoff forecast above Sioux City is 18.8 MAF, 73% of average. The runoff forecast is based on current soil moisture conditions, plains snowpack, mountain snowpack, and long-term precipitation and temperature outlooks.

China's top leadership held a meeting on Thursday to study and arrange work on flood prevention, disaster relief and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, emphasizing the need to put people's lives and property first.8月17日，中共中央政治局常务委员会召开会议，研究部署防汛抗洪救灾和灾后恢复重建工作，强调要把人民群众生命财产安全放在首位。Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, presided over the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and delivered an important speech.中共中央总书记习近平主持中共中央政治局常务委员会会议并发表重要讲话。The meeting came as some regions in northern and northeastern China have been hit by severe flooding after heavy rainfall brought by Typhoon Doksuri and Typhoon Khanun earlier this month.这次会议是在本月初台风“杜苏芮”和台风“卡努”带来强降雨，中国北部和东北部部分地区遭受严重洪涝灾害之际召开的。The disaster has caused major casualties and property losses in parts of Beijing and Hebei, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. Thousands of people had to leave their homes and many infrastructure facilities were destroyed.北京部分地区以及河北、吉林和黑龙江省遭受了重大人员伤亡和财产损失。成千上万的人被迫离开家园，许多基础设施被毁。Participants in the meeting commended the concerted efforts of people from various sectors in flood control and disaster relief, saying that the nation has made major achievements in flood control and rescue operations.与会者赞扬了各界人士在防汛救灾中的共同努力，认为国家在防汛救灾行动中取得了重大成果。They pointed out that the country is still in the flood season, various regions across China remain prone to disasters such as heavy rains, floods and typhoons, and some river basins continue to face the risk of flooding.会议强调，当前，我国仍处于主汛期，全国多地暴雨、洪涝、台风等灾害仍然高发，一些流域仍存在洪涝灾害风险。As some mountainous areas in northern and northeastern China still face the high risk of mountain torrents and geological hazards, they stressed the need to remain highly vigilant, do well in all aspects of flood prevention and disaster relief work, and give top priority to the safety of people's lives and property.华北、东北部分山区土壤含水量已经饱和，山洪地质灾害风险高，依然不能有丝毫放松。各有关地区、部门和单位要始终把人民生命财产安全放在第一位，慎终如始做好防汛抗洪救灾各项工作。The meeting's participants highlighted the importance of precise early warning and called for strengthening links between this and emergency response.会议指出，要精准预警响应，进一步加强气象预警与灾害预报的联动。Priority should be given to preventing large-scale flooding in river basins, while flood-control work should be well planned and implemented, they said. Comprehensive preparations should be made for emergency response teams, materials and the use of flood storage areas to ensure the security of major rivers during the flood season, they added.要突出防御重点，流域性大洪水始终是防汛工作的重中之重，要把江河流域的防洪调度工作谋划好、落实好，全面做好预案、队伍、物资和蓄滞洪区启用准备，保障大江大河安全度汛。The meeting's participants also emphasized the importance of decisive actions at critical moments, saying that people in dangerous areas should be decisively and thoroughly evacuated.要果断转移避险，关键时候果断撤离转移危险地带群众，进一步细化人员转移避险预案，确保应转尽转、应转早转。Efforts should be made to carry out emergency rescue operations and coordinate the deployment of the national rescue team, the People's Liberation Army, the People's Armed Police Force, State-owned enterprises and other social rescue forces in order to ensure efficient and scientific rescue efforts, they said.会议强调，要全力抢险救援，统筹调度国家综合性消防救援队伍、解放军和武警部队、中央企业和社会救援力量等各类救援力量，确保高效救援、科学救援。All-out efforts should be made to ensure the livelihoods of affected populations, and environmental disinfection and hygiene measures as well as market stabilization efforts should be strengthened to restore the normalcy of work and life in disaster-stricken areas, they added.要千方百计保障好受灾群众的基本生活，做好环境消杀和卫生防疫工作，强化市场保供稳价，尽快恢复灾区正常生产生活秩序。The meeting's participants stressed the need to effectively utilize disaster relief funds, accelerate recovery efforts and prioritize the restoration of transportation, communication and power infrastructure.会议指出，要用好救灾资金，加快恢复重建，抓紧抢修交通、通讯、电力等受损基础设施。The restoration and reconstruction of public facilities such as schools, hospitals and nursing homes should be expedited, they said, adding that financial institutions should simplify related procedures, provide credit support and insurance claims for the affected areas, and assist affected populations and businesses in overcoming difficulties.要加快推进学校、医院、养老院等公共设施恢复重建，金融机构要优化简化相关程序，加强对受灾地区的信贷支持和保险理赔，同时持续做好风险隐患排查，努力帮助受灾群众和经营主体渡过难关。Reconstruction英/ˌriːkənˈstrʌkʃn/美/ˌriːkənˈstrʌkʃ(ə)n/n.再建，重建Restoration英/ˌrestəˈreɪʃ(ə)n/美/ˌrestəˈreɪʃn/n.恢复，重新实施

Levees and other man-made flood control efforts have been somewhat successful. But as development continues in these areas, some are calling for wetland restoration to better manage the water.

Episode: 2568 Detention basins: where engineering, conservation, and myriad birds converge.  Today, engineering and birds.

Valley Congressman David Valadao joined the show to discuss Tuesdays House Natural Resources Committee “Water Field Hearing” & the need for better water storage systems throughout California. Officials say 9,000 cubic feet of water per second are being released through the Friant dam instead of being stored for farming and community use. Valadao says the permitting process for infrastructure projects is taking too long to make any progress. Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed a 2023-24 state budget. “San Joaquin Valley Flood Plain Restoration – A reduction of $40 million General Fund in 2023-24, which eliminates funding for this purpose.” The $40 million had been a small down payment on the billions of dollars that would be needed to protect communities in the valley from disastrous floods that scientists had been warning could occur under certain meteorological circumstances. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not long ago it seemed flood control experts were close to mastering the unruly flows funnelling toward Hudson Bay and the Prairie city of Winnipeg. But as more intense and out-of-synch flood events occur, wary cities like Winnipeg continue to depend on systems and specifications that will soon be out of date. Rivers have impulses that defy many of the basic human assumptions underpinning otherwise sophisticated technologies. This is the river-city expression of climate change.  In Just One Rain Away: The Ethnography of River-City Flood Control (McGill-Queen's UP, 2022), Stephanie Kane shows how geoscience, engineering, and law converge to affect flood control in Winnipeg. She questions technicalities produced and maintained in tandem with settler folkways at the expense of the plural legal cultures of Indigenous nations. The dynamics of this experimental ethnography feel familiar yet strange: here, many of the starring actors are not human. Ice and water - materializing as bodies, elements, and digital signals - act with diatoms, diversions, sensors, sandbags, and satellites, looping theories about glacial erratics and feminist science studies into scenes from neighbourhood parks, conferences, survey maps, plays, archival photos, a novel, an emergency press conference, LiDAR images, and a lab experiment in a bathtub.  Through storytelling and environmental analytics, Just One Rain Away provides a starting point for cross-cultural discussions about how expert knowledge and practice should inform egalitarian decision-making about flood control and, more broadly, decolonize current ways of thinking, being, and becoming with rivers.

Recovering from the Historic 2019 Missouri River Flood: Three Years Later In this episode, Dr. Nadia Mohandessi sits down with Matt Krajewski, USACE Emergency Support Function #3 (ESF #3) Permanent Cadre member and former Omaha District Emergency Management Chief, to discuss the historic 2019 flooding along the Missouri River and tributaries, and how the Corps has worked over the past three years to help the local communities recover by repairing and rehabilitating hundreds of miles of damaged levee systems under Public Law 84-99. Public Law 84-99, Emergency Response to Natural Disasters, is the Corps of Engineers' basic authority to provide for emergency activities in support of State and Local governments prior to, during, and after a flood event. The Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies (FCCE) appropriation provides funding for PL 84-99 authorized activities. Under PL 84-99, the Corps can provide both emergency technical and direct assistance in response to flood and coastal storms, such as hurricanes and nor'easters.

Episode: 2850 Centuries of Dutch Flood Control.  Today, living on the delta.

In this episode we sit down with Willem Helms, the Public Law 84-99 Program Manager at Corps Headquarters, to learn more about the Public Law 84-99 and the Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies Appropriation. Public Law 84-99 is the Corps of Engineers' basic authority to provide technical and direct assistance for emergencies like floods, coastal storm, and hurricanes. Funding for the Public Law 84-99 comes from the Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies (FCCE) appropriation.
