Here is a weekly update on Idaho snowpack and projected water supply.

Watersheds are everywhere, adjusting and reforming all the time - they are not static. Watersheds are a reflection of natural and human activities: as activities change so do watersheds as well as the waterways within them. Whatever happens upstream goes downstream. Hear from State Hydrologist and Interim Director of the Illinois State Water Survey, Laura Keefer, about how movement of water and sediment in a watershed shows we all live downstream. Learn More:Major Watersheds of Illinois map (Illinois State Water Survey)Illinois State Water PlanFact SheetTask Force informationErin talks of leaf marcescence in her Everyday Observation

Send us a textHow will we feed people living in the megacities of the 21st century, especially while confronting climate chaos and the depletion of fossil fuels and fossil water? According to the mainstream media: ecomodernism! Massive deployment of technology on factory farms and an extreme ramp-up of industrialization will save the day – right? RIGHT?!? If you read the New York Times, you might think that supermarket shelves will forever overflow with 3D-printed fish sticks, mylar bags full of genetically modified cheesy poofs, and faux corn dogs that ooze out of laboratory vats. Jason, Rob, and Asher question the wisdom of doubling down on industrialization in food and farming. It's no surprise they recommend paying attention to nature and ecological limits. Stick around for ideas you can use in your community to support a healthy, regenerative food system (and keep on eating).

Idaho farmers and ranchers. I think you're going to be very happy with Idaho's snowpack.

In the last year, I've heard a lot about atmospheric rivers, so I asked hydrologist David Hoekema what they were.

Got an email from hydrologist David Hoekema on the latest snowpack situation.

What caused a quite new subdivision in suburban Sarasota to be under water after Tropical Storm Debby? An expert found a smoking gun, and he has a series of recommendations for Sarasota County on how to prevent similar damage during the next floods. Ramon Lopez has the details. Next: Two hundred and sixty five warehouse workers in Sarasota scored one of the biggest wins for private-sector unions in decades in this region.  Then: The Sarasota County commission wants to steer millions of federal disaster relief dollars to a developer-led training program. That has stirred up pushback by people who want the funding to go to public schools instead. Finally: Sarasota's LGBTQ community has been hit hard by the recent storms. Noah Vinsky tallies the damage.

In the summer of 2024, the Chilcotin River in British Columbia had a landslide that completely blocked the river creating a natural dam.  For the next 6 days the river water backed up behind this dam until the waters finally worked over the top the of the landslide, creating a breach that would exceed the previous historical flows by 5 fold. 3 people share their experience and knowledge of the landslide in this episode.EPISODE GUESTSTŜILHQOT'IN National GovernmentJenny Philbrick, Executive DirectorState of Local Emergency Declared for Tŝilhqot'in Territory due to Tŝilhqox (Chilcotin River) LandslideTŝilhqot'in National Government initiating Emergency Salmon Task ForceROAM  Rivers, Oceans and MountainsBrian McCutcheonBritish Colombia Ministry of Water, Land and Resource StewardshipNatasha Cowie, Hydrologist, River Forecast Centre TIME LAPSE IMAGES OF LANDSLIDE AND BREACH & other info on landslideScroll down to "Timelapse..." YOU TUBE VIDEOSShort: "...helicopter view of landslide..."Short: "...building washed away..."Landslide breach video"Water begins moving past landslide damming Chilcotin River" River Radius Instagram and Facebook has videos also.  Links below.  EPISODE SPONSORS  THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

We've been talking about last week's deadly flash flooding in the Annapolis Valley, and how our province needs a more robust emergency alert system for extreme weather events. We connect with a hydrologist at the United States' National Weather Service to find out how they predict and alert the public about flash floods.

“We should also harvest the water, store it in the soil. Grow our crops and grow our trees. Because the storage in the soil is much, much bigger than any store we can ever put on the surface. God has already given us a huge reservoir where we can put our water.” Kenya has been ravaged by flooding this month: dozens have died – specifically after a dam burst and a passenger ferry capsized – and thousands more have been made homeless. Schools were closed and farmers have seen their crops destroyed. But in a few months, many of the areas now under water will be struggling with drought. So what can be done to conserve flood waters and build up resilience? And how can small farmers manage their land better? For today's Africa Daily, Peter Musembi speaks with Professor John Gathenya a Hydrologist from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.

Dr. Chief's Indigenous Resilience Center - “The Indigenous Resilience Center is the University of Arizona's commitment to giving back to local tribes who have stewarded this land for millennia. Tribes have endured and sacrificed so much in terms of land loss and social and environmental impacts, much at the hand of the United States. Universities have benefited from this through their physical infrastructure and have a responsibility to be a bridge — to ethically address the challenges those communities face in ways that build trust and transparency.” - Dr. Karletta ChiefNative FEWS Alliance (Food, Water, Energy Systems) - "The dual vision of the Native FEWS Alliance (the Alliance) is to build a highly skilled Native American (NA) STEM workforce at the nexus of Food, Energy and Water and to co-innovate and deploy Indigenous place-based FEWS education and community partnerships."Dr. Karletta Chief Bio

  Today on the Rokcast, Robby hosts Josh Boyd. Besides being a very dedicated hunter, Josh is also a Hydrologist for USFS. Josh has measured and studied winter severity for over 20 years from SE Arizona to NW Montana. With some certainty, Josh can predict mule deer winterkill.  They dive into Snow Water Equivalent, where and how it's measured, the data that comes from it, and how it can help you make better decisions when planning your mule deer hunt around winterkill. Winter severity could be the number one predictor of the size of a mule deer population.

Being a Hydrologist was never on Matthew Rodell's radar, let alone working for NASA. But he always trusted the path ahead. Now as their Deputy Director of Earth Sciences for Hydrosphere, Biosphere, and Geophysics (HGB) at Goddard Space Flight Center, he walks us through the important data being collected via remote sensing, being one of the first hydrologists to work on NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) Mission, and how a missed phone call landed him on his path with NASA. This episode was produced by Jason Rodriguez and Shane M Hanlon, and mixed by Collin Warren.

"I think water is taking a backseat and personally, I feel like water is the messenger that delivers the bad news of climate change to your front door. So in the work that I do, it's heavily intertwined, but it's taking a backseat. There are parts about water that are maybe separate from climate change, and that could be the quality discussions, the infrastructure discussions, although they are somewhat loosely related to climate change and they are impacted by climate change. That's sometimes part of the reason why it gets split off because it's thought of as maybe an infrastructure problem, but you know, the changing extremes, the aridification of the West, the increasing frequency, the increasing droughts, these broad global patterns that I've been talking about, that I've been looking at with my research – that's all climate change. Just 100% climate change, a hundred percent human-driven. And so it does need to be elevated in these climate change discussions.”Jay Famiglietti is a hydrologist, a professor and the Executive Director of the Global Institute for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan, where he holds the Canada 150 Research Chair in Hydrology and Remote Sensing.

He is the host of the podcast What About Water?"So we're not at the point in the United States of telling farmers what they can grow and can't grow. We probably will get there, but we're not there yet. And one of the things that we have focused on instead, and I think California's a great example with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, which has broken down the state into a number of different groundwater sustainability agencies. Each one has a plan to basically minimize groundwater losses or at least to manage them and stretch out groundwater losses over a long period of time. And so that's a slightly different approach in that what's being managed at the groundwater level and what's not happening is – we're not telling farmers you can grow this or you can grow that.So we'll see how that works. It has a term implementation horizon, like 20 more years, which is a little slow, but there's a question on the table about will this be either state or national policy. Will we get to the point where we start saying we don't have enough water. Let's think nationally about food security and what crops do we actually need for the health of people in the United States first, and go that way. And what can we grow where, given water availability and how we set up our food system. So we have a tremendous amount of work to do on this topic. My fear is that we're being reactive rather than proactive."https://jayfamiglietti.comWhat About Water? podcast with Jay FamigliettiTwitter @WhatAboutWaterGIWS https://water.usask.cawww.waterplan.comwww.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.info

And that it's important that we think of ourselves as stewards of intergenerational knowledge. And so just like I pass on this knowledge and my experiences to students and, through discussions like this, I want to empower our young people, to do the same. And also, if you are interested in the environment today, there are so many entry points and so many more jobs available than when I was in college. So it is green technology, blue technology for water, anything related to sustainability...so many more opportunities.

I'm thinking about Flint and thinking about Jackson, so not everyone's water is great. But you know what, in many cities - in fact in most cities - it actually is great. There will always be the issue of industry sort of trying to game the system vs. what is the EPA monitoring for vs. what is industry releasing into the environment. So that puts the EPA, it puts the environmental community always sort of on watch to be looking for these emerging contaminants. And it's a bit of a game in one which I think again, some national policy could be really helpful. Most water districts in the United States publish their water quality. It's all available online. I always tell people if you have any concerns at all, put it through an activated charcoal filter."https://jayfamiglietti.comWhat About Water? podcast with Jay FamigliettiTwitter @WhatAboutWaterGIWS https://water.usask.cawww.waterplan.comwww.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.info

He is the host of the podcast What About Water?"Well, I think these days we have good cause to be a little bit wary of our tap water, given what's happening in some cities in the United States. I'm thinking about Flint and thinking about Jackson, so not everyone's water is great. But you know what, in many cities - in fact in most cities - it actually is great. There will always be the issue of industry sort of trying to game the system vs. what is the EPA monitoring for vs. what is industry releasing into the environment. So that puts the EPA, it puts the environmental community always sort of on watch to be looking for these emerging contaminants. And it's a bit of a game in one which I think again, some national policy could be really helpful. Most water districts in the United States publish their water quality. It's all available online. I always tell people if you have any concerns at all, put it through an activated charcoal filter."https://jayfamiglietti.comWhat About Water? podcast with Jay FamigliettiTwitter @WhatAboutWaterGIWS https://water.usask.cawww.waterplan.comwww.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.info

"I think water is taking a backseat and personally, I feel like water is the messenger that delivers the bad news of climate change to your front door. So in the work that I do, it's heavily intertwined, but it's taking a backseat. There are parts about water that are maybe separate from climate change, and that could be the quality discussions, the infrastructure discussions, although they are somewhat loosely related to climate change and they are impacted by climate change. That's sometimes part of the reason why it gets split off because it's thought of as maybe an infrastructure problem, but you know, the changing extremes, the aridification of the West, the increasing frequency, the increasing droughts, these broad global patterns that I've been talking about, that I've been looking at with my research – that's all climate change. Just 100% climate change, a hundred percent human-driven.

He is the host of the podcast What About Water?"The research that I've done with these NASA satellites - they're called the Grace Mission, Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Mission, and they're really unusual in that they're able to weigh, using small variations in the pull of gravity that water exerts on the satellites. Satellites are like a scale. They move up and down in the sky depending on how much water there is on the ground. So we can map out these places that are gaining or losing water on a monthly basis. And you know, now the satellites have been flying for 20 years, so we can see these trends.""So there's lots of interesting stuff that's happening out there. Technology that helps industry. There's going to be a big push and a lot of pressure on industry to do more reporting. The technology to do optimal water and nutrient delivery at the plant scale, like just using the optimal amount of water and fertilizer at the plant scale, so down to the plant scale within huge farms is being rapidly developed. So these things are all game changers. And that's without talking about financial innovations. So financial innovations are also not necessarily technology, but when we think about what innovations we need, some of those are financial, whether it's incentive packages or the need to work with investors. So just like we did with carbon that has been so successful working with investors who invest in the big agricultural companies, the big food and beverage companies, we've gotten great traction on the carbon side driving these companies, huge multinational companies to net zero carbon. We need to be doing the same thing on the water side. And so that investor push is a financial innovation."https://jayfamiglietti.comWhat About Water? podcast with Jay FamigliettiTwitter @WhatAboutWaterGIWS https://water.usask.cawww.waterplan.comwww.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.info

And that it's important that we think of ourselves as stewards of intergenerational knowledge. And so just like I pass on this knowledge and my experiences to students and, through discussions like this, I want to empower our young people, to do the same. And also, if you are interested in the environment today, there are so many entry points and so many more jobs available than when I was in college. So it is green technology, blue technology for water, anything related to sustainability...so many more opportunities.

University of MN scientist Diana Karwan studies the quality of water where it flows over and through forest landscapes. She takes water from our streams and medium sized rivers to identify what she calls the “chemical fingerprints” of these waters. Dr. Karwan is a member of the University of MN's Departments of Forestry, and Soil, Water and Climate. Dr. Karwan will discuss the impact different forest landscapes have on water quality in a free, online program hosted by Itasca Waters tomorrow at noon. She joined Heidi Holtan on the KAXE/KBXE Morning Show to discuss her research and preview the latest installment of Itasca Water's "Practical Water Wisdom" series.
