When mother nature fails to provide rain, knowing forage water use is important for both dryland and irrigated crops. Forages vary greatly in water-use efficiency (the amount of forage produced for each inch of water used), and knowing ahead of time is important. Ben Beckman, Nebraska Extension Forage Systems Educator.

Tribes that collectively make up the largest water rights holders along the Colorado River say the Trump Administration's newest plan to deal with diminishing water levels is inadequate. Tribal leaders say they were left out of the decision making process and are now in store for serious water use cuts that violate existing water rights agreements as well as the federal government's trust responsibility. We'll hear from some of those tribal leaders.

This is how these young engineers envision Jacksonville, a coastal city in Florida in the next 100 years.这就是这些年轻工程师对佛罗里达州沿海城市杰克逊维尔未来百年的设想。The model called Agua Prope, meaning clean water, was presented by a team of middle school students from Houston at the Future City Nationals in Washington DC.这款名为Agua Prope的模型寓意为"洁净之水"，由休斯顿中学生团队在华盛顿特区举办的未来城市全国总决赛中展示。The students' goal was to build a city with a clean and reliable water supply.学生们的目标是建造一座拥有清洁可靠供水系统的城市。Many members on the Houston team have roots in Karachi, Pakistan's largest and most populated city, where water shortages and access to clean water are a persistent problem.休斯顿队的许多队员都来自巴基斯坦最大且人口最多的城市卡拉奇，那里长期面临水资源短缺和难以获得清洁用水的问题。Karachi right now is very behind, unlike America. A lot of people are on the streets, they don't have water to drink or they're drinking contaminated water needing any money. It's very hard to even like take showers over there.卡拉奇现在非常落后，和美国不一样。很多人流落街头，他们没有水喝，或者只能喝被污染的水，而且身无分文。在那里连洗澡都很难。And now go to Karachi for example, there's a lot of water shortage and power shortage.以卡拉奇为例，那里严重缺水缺电。For example, the water there costs a lot, and sometimes it's contaminated, sometimes which causes problems such as diarrhea, people getting sick and much more, and you don't have water in the house for days.那里的水价格昂贵，而且有时还会受到污染，这会导致腹泻、人们生病等问题，甚至家中几天都没有水可用。The government in Karachi says the city supplies only half of the water it needs daily. The consequences of Pakistan's water problems are tragic.卡拉奇政府表示该市每日供水量仅为需求量的一半。巴基斯坦水资源问题的后果是悲剧性的。UNICEF reports every year 53,000 children die of diarrhea caused by drinking contaminated water.联合国儿童基金会报告称，每年有5.3万名儿童因饮用受污染的水而死于腹泻。Students on the Houston team say their model includes a robust system that monitors supply and demand, storage, filtration, and diversion of conventional as well as flood waters across the Jacksonville landscape.休斯顿团队的学生们表示，他们的模型包含一套强大系统，可监测杰克逊维尔地区常规用水与洪水的供需动态、存储情况、过滤处理及分流调度。Our project is Agua Prope, located in Jacksonville, Florida, so the main problem in Jacksonville are storm surges, hurricanes and floods.我们的项目Agua Prope位于佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔市，该地区主要面临风暴潮、飓风和洪水问题A lot of problems actually internationally going on right now are that many people are not having access to water.当前国际上确实存在许多问题，很多人无法获得水资源。And a lot of people that do have access to water are drinking contaminated water that has like birth defects and like cancer-related issues.许多能获得水的人喝的是受污染的水，这些水会导致出生缺陷和癌症等问题。And they're also a coastal city. So we know how to generate power.他们也在一座沿海城市，所以我们知道如何发电。Organizers say some models are actually implemented. We had a team that actually won the National Finals a few years ago.组织者表示，部分模型已实际投入使用。我们几年前有一支队伍真的赢得了全国总决赛。And then as part of an unrelated mission trip with their church, they actually helped install a water filtration system in the Dominican Republic.后来在一次与教会无关的宣教之旅中，他们实际上在多米尼加共和国帮忙安装了一个水过滤系统。And so we're not only asking our participants to think about these challenges, but also empowering them in their solutions.我们不仅要求参与者思考这些挑战，还让他们有能力去解决这些问题。Agua Prope model won the People's Choice Award based on voting by the general public, and the Best Futuristic City award.Agua Prope模型凭借公众投票赢得了人民选择奖以及最佳未来城市奖。This model calls for technology so advanced, it will be decades before it can be implemented.这一模型需要极其先进的技术，要等到数十年后才能实现。But the students say they hope one day within the next 50 years, their vision of a clean water city will become a reality.但学生们表示，他们希望在未来50年内的某一天，他们所设想的清洁水城能够成为现实。

Following a winter of exceptionally low snowpack, Boise has adopted a new drought emergency ordinance to help protect the city's water supply.

The internet's invisible backbone is becoming impossible to ignore. As data centers multiply, so do questions about the land, power and communities they depend on — and who decides where they go. In part one, we visit a quiet town in Europe's biggest data center hub to explore how the race to build our digital future is playing out on the ground.

Hello! This is Episode 411. This is Way #11 of the 44 Ways to Create Your Sustainable Home series. We’re continuing through Section Three: Sustainable Services and Infrastructure, and today we’re looking at water. In the last episode, we covered Way #10: reducing your energy use through your selections. In this episode, we’re looking at water efficiency. Where does water really get used in your home? What do the ratings mean in practice? And what decisions, beyond just choosing efficient fixtures, can actually make a difference? Way #11 is: Reduce Your Water Use In and Around Your Home. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/411] Water tends to receive less attention than energy in a sustainability brief. I think this is partly because the financial feedback is less immediate. Electricity bills arrive more regularly and can feel significant. Water bills are often quarterly, and in many areas they feel manageable, or are wrapped up with your council fees. But around 12% of Australia’s water use is in residential homes. Water is a finite resource, and under pressure in many locations around the world, and the decisions you make about how your home uses it can carry through for the life of the home. Interestingly, water efficiency can be one of the most straightforward areas to address, purely through specification. The ratings systems that exist for water-efficient fixtures are clear and accessible. The products are widely available. And in most cases, the cost difference between a high-efficiency and a standard fixture at specification stage is minimal, while the savings over time are significant. In this episode, I take you through where household water actually goes, what the rating systems mean in practice, the design decisions beyond fixture selection that can reduce water use, and why outdoor water use deserves its own conversation, which we’ll cover in the next episode. As always, if you'd like to access a full transcript of this episode and links to any resources I mention, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/411. Now, let's dive in!

Two of the biggest resources that go into operating a data center are power — to run the computers — and water, to cool them down. Rep. Britt Raybould, R-Rexburg, sponsored House Bill 895, which if signed into law would encourage data centers in Idaho to use closed-loop water cooling systems and require evaporative cooling systems, which consume water, be regulated under existing water rights law.

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.

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!
