Drinking more water does not automatically mean you are better hydrated, especially when that water cannot actually enter the cell. For many women in midlife, fatigue, bloating, and persistent water retention can show up even when intake looks right.We dive deeper into this in the latest The Well Drop Podcast episode with Jane Emma. We also chat about the real difference between filtered and purified water, why daily electrolyte use can backfire, and how hydration efficiency at the cellular level shapes how the body handles water.Jane Emma is the founder and CEO of The Goodfor Company, a water wellness company rethinking water quality, hydration, and how the systems we use at home impact overall health. She is a speaker in the wellness and environmental health space and has extensive experience working with purification standards.What's Discussed:(00:00) Why drinking more water doesn't actually fix hydration for most women(06:02) Filtered vs purified water and what most systems fail to remove(09:00) Hydration vs intake and why electrolytes alone don't hydrate cells(10:12) The daily electrolyte habit and how it can worsen thirst and hormones(16:05) Chlorine exposure through showers and skin absorption(25:52) Pharmaceuticals and contaminants in municipal water(31:38) Structured water and cellular hydration efficiency(40:05) Bloating and water retention as hydration issues in midlifeThank You to Our Sponsors:Wellness at Home Starts with Water: Use code WELLDROP at https://thegoodforco.com/thewelldrop Sign up for The Well Drop Newsletter: hereFind out more about Amber Berger: Website: http://thewelldrop.com Instagram: @thewelldropFind out more about Jane Emma (The Goodfor Co.): Website: https://thegoodforco.com/thewelldrop Instagram: @thegoodforcoFacebook: https://facebook.com/thegoodforco

In this episode, we bring together four leading voices from across the golf and environmental landscape to cut through the noise around water use and sustainability and focus on the facts. We're joined by Tom Brooke, CEO of GCMA, Richard Windows from The R&A, Tom Young from The Environment Partnership (TEP), and Daniel Scarr from Rain Bird to explore why water has become one of the most critical issues facing golf clubs today, and why doing nothing is no longer an option. With so much information circulating, the discussion begins by grounding the debate in reality and an outline of where we are right now.  This looks at the current pressures on water resources, the increasing scrutiny on abstraction and usage, and how climate patterns are already affecting golf courses across GB&I. The panel then looks ahead, with the panel painting a clear picture of where the industry could be in ten years' time if meaningful action isn't taken, from tighter regulation to rising costs and reduced resilience. The conversation turns to practical action, starting with what clubs can do immediately. Daniel Scarr shares simple, low-cost steps that clubs can take now to reduce water consumption, focusing on smarter irrigation practices, better system management, and making small changes that quickly add up. From there, the panel expands into longer-term measures, discussing investment in infrastructure, data-led decision making, agronomic and course design considerations, and how sustainability can be built into long-term planning rather than treated as a reactive fix. With wetter winters and heavier rainfall falling in shorter, more intense periods, we examine how golf courses can adapt to cope more effectively, improving drainage, capturing and storing water, and building resilience into course management strategies. The episode also highlights the collective work being done across the industry. Tom Brooke explains how organisations such as the GB&I Golf Forum and the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Golf (APPGG) are working together to represent the sport, influence policy, and drive coordinated action on sustainability and water management. The message that runs throughout the discussion is clear: clubs don't need to have all the answers today, but they do need to start. The panel closes by encouraging clubs to take action now, however small the steps may seem, because early progress, informed decisions, and a willingness to engage will be critical to safeguarding the future of the game. www.gcma.org.uk https://www.randa.org/sustainable-golf https://www.tep.uk.com/ https://www.rainbird.com/   Connect with Us: Instagram: @golfclubtalkuk Website: Golf Club Talk UK https://www.linkedin.com/in/leighton-walker-2708b627/   https://eddiebullockgolf.com/   Support us here: https://buymeacoffee.com/gctuk Rate & Review Please leave a 5-star review and share this episode with your golf circle!

Almonds and pistachios are native to arid climates and are drought tolerant tree species. In California however, the high cost of production and land value pushes growers to maximize yields, which means trying to meet the full evaporative demand (though many growers apply much less water than this!)This is not the strategy everywhere, however, even in other areas that also have high production costs. In this episode, Phoebe discusses almond production in the Iberian Penninsula with Sebastian Saa, pistachio production in Sicily with Giulia Marino, and pistachio production in Iran and Afghanistan with Louise Ferguson.

Good sustainable ag practices and carefully-collected data won't make it rain more. But they will help you make the most out of every drop. And in Northwest Texas, they know a thing or two about making due with limited rainfall. So on this episode, we're talking to Precision Ag Lead Ky Houchin from the Nutrien Ag Solutions South Plains Division about how growers in the Lubbock area are tracking their water use and inputs to maximize their yields in a climate with less than 20 inches of rain a year. We'll also discuss how data-driven decisions can enhance crop yields and sustainability, the hurdles that some growers encounter in adopting new practices, and the critical role of water quality and nutrient management in achieving sustainable outcomes.

Despite its importance to both agricultural and environmental outcomes, irrigation has not been a terribly successful subsection of agtech. We have our theories about why that is (we wrote a whole report about it, The agtech adoption dilemma: Irrigation), and many others have also spotted the challenges in this space. But when Jairo Trad and his team dug in, they saw an opportunity for business model innovation. Their path, via Argentinian agtech company Kilimo, has been far from smooth, but where they've ended up seems to be a unique unlock for adoption and value capture. This week, we're sitting down with Jairo, CEO and Cofounder at Kilimo, who's spent the last 14 years expanding the boundaries of the ag-water system to find the right answer to the question “who pays for water efficiency improvements.” For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

In this episode of *Art Heals All Wounds*, I sit down with Jimmy Ramirez, an artist and high school teacher from Oakley, California. We talk about Jimmy's film Above Ground, which delves into the ways that streams and creeks in Oakland have been ‘entombed' in culverts in Oakland, California. We also discuss re-imagining our relationship to water.**Key Topics Discussed:** 1. **Discovery of Hidden Waterways**:   - My personal experience of discovering the hidden Providence River during my college years in Providence, Rhode Island, drawing a parallel to the hidden creeks of Oakland. 2. **Jimmy's Film "Above Ground"**:   - The film explores how Oakland has buried many of its natural waterways under concrete, a practice known as "entombing." This impacts local ecosystems previously supporting species like salmon and trout. 3. **Personal Connection to Peralta Creek**:   - Jimmy discusses his family's history with Peralta Creek in Fruitvale, Oakland, emphasizing how urban development has drastically altered the waterway. 4. **Impact of Water Management Practices**:   - Water management practices designed to prevent flooding have dried out natural water bodies despite heavy rainfalls, disrupting ecological balance. 5. **Historical Decisions and Urban Planning**:   - The conversation addresses the historical decisions to bury natural waterways and how early urban planning overlooked long-term environmental impacts. 6. **Environmental and Mental Health Implications**:   - We discuss the concept of "slow violence" where the lack of natural elements in urban areas contributes to mental health issues and community stress. 7. **Neighborhood Disparities**:   - Disparities between wealthier neighborhoods with more greenery and lower-income areas in Oakland are highlighted, showing the uneven distribution of environmental resources. 8. **Community Initiatives and Successes**:   - Some residents have successfully removed culverts to restore natural water flow, though legal ambiguities persist. 9. **Government and Political Dynamics**:   - Oakland officials have shown interest in Jimmy's film to raise awareness about these environmental issues, and the conversation touches on the politicized nature of water management in California. 10. **Reimagining Water Use**:    - Jimmy advocates for a collectivist approach to water systems, inspired by indigenous wisdom, contrasting America's individualistic mindset. 11. **Challenges and Resistance**:    - Addressing restrictive regulations around rainwater collection and gray water reuse, and how contractors are now more conscious about concreting over backyards. 12. **Future Projects and Art's Role**:    - Jimmy discusses future projects and the significance of art in processing climate grief and inspiring change. He also expresses gratitude for support from the California Arts Council. **Closing Thoughts and Listener Engagement:**Don't forget to go to my website and leave me YOUR story of belonging to feature on a future episode!Buy Me a Coffee!Follow Jimmy! InstagramLinkedInFollow Me!●      My Instagram&

In this episode, we are looking at improving the energy efficiency and sustainability of our computer workloads by shifting them around the world in real-time - something called ‘geo-distribution'.The idea involves looking at real time global energy production- ideally from renewable sources - and a load of other factors including weather, water tables and more. By comparing these factors as well as compute availability and the lag between data source and data center, you can find the most sustainable locations to perform a task. Ideally, shifting the workloads so quickly that the user doesn't even know it's happening. To tell us more we're joined this week by Cullen Bash, Vice President, Research & Development at HPE, who leads the Systems Architecture Lab at Hewlett Packard Labs.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
