1, After a stressful Friday, (hornet attack), we had a calm day #today
2. Celebrated Mrs. Adam's upcoming #birthday at our favorite restaurant. If you're ever in NY's #HudsonValley, check out Il Figlio Econteca in #fishkill. Always a satisfying meal in a happening venue.
3. Contact Dermatitis rash is fading. Steroids prescribed by doctor yesterday are clearing things up nicely. (still, I don't how I contacted the rash to begin with).

And fossil fuel projects are still fast tracked
"The wetlands had degraded over a long period of time, with barrages (structures that control water flow) added in the 1950s, higher nutrient loads and extended periods of reduced flow from the Murray... The recent drought and unusual algal blooms had been “eye openers” to many people."

The Murray-Darling Basin
A $13 billion, 30-year flop: landmark study reveals stark failure to halt Murray-Darling River decline
"Some A$13 billion in taxpayer dollars and 30 years of policy reform have failed to arrest the devastating decline in the health of Australia’s most important river system, the Murray-Darling Basin, new research shows."
"Historically, state governments have allowed too much water to be taken from the system, primarily to irrigate crops. This has caused extensive environmental damage such as toxic blue-green algae blooms, dramatic falls in bird and fish populations and undrinkable town water supplies, to name just a few.
The damage has been exacerbated by invasive species, climate change, dams that block water flows, and bush clearing which makes water running into rivers more salty."
"Troublingly, we found that after more than a decade of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, 74% of success indicators were not met. This means there was either no improvement or worsening conditions.The Murray-Darling Basin Plan is due for review in 2026. Clearly, monitoring to date has been inadequate. Our paper outlines ways to fix this, so real outcomes are achieved."
"Among our suggestions, river ecosystems could be mapped to ensure Australia meets its international obligation this decade to restore 30% of inland water ecosystems and include 30% of these ecosystems in protected areas.And those responsible for implementing the basin plan, primarily state and federal government agencies, should be held accountable when targets are not met".

#Sewage dumped illegally in #Windermere over 3 years
by Joe Crowley
October 17, 2024
"A water company repeatedly dumped millions of litres of raw sewage illegally into one of #ngland's most famous lakes over a three-year period, the BBC can reveal.
"More than 140 million litres of waste were pumped into Windermere between 2021 and 2023 at times when it was not permitted, our analysis shows, and #UnitedUtilities failed to report most of it.
"It means the company's #IllegalDumping of #sewage into the lake went on for far longer, and was far more extensive, than was previously known.
"United Utilities said some of its sewage releases into #Windermere were 'potentially non-compliant' but that it #SelfReports 'over 94% of potential pollution incidents to the #EnvironmentAgency'.
"Matt Staniek, a campaigner against sewage pollution and founder of #SaveWindermere, said Windermere was 'the jewel in the crown of the #LakeDistrict #NationalPark, and it's being used as an open sewer'.
"It is sometimes necessary to release sewage into rivers and lakes to stop the wastewater system from being overwhelmed by #HeavyRain but this #pollution can damage the environment, causing harmful #AlgalBlooms and even killing fish.
"In January this year - after BBC Panorama revealed the company had downplayed the severity of dozens of #pollution incidents, some involving Windermere - United Utilities retrospectively reported some discharges into the lake from October 2023 onwards."

Tons of dead fish cover major river in #Brazil after alleged dumping of #industrial waste
By ANDRE PENNER and ELÉONORE HUGHES
Updated 3:01 PM EDT, July 18, 2024
TANQUA, Brazil (AP) — "Several tons of fish have died along one of the main rivers in Brazil’s #SaoPaulo state after an alleged #IllegalDumping of industrial waste from a #sugar and #ethanol plant, #environmental authorities and prosecutors said Wednesday.
A preliminary analysis estimates that between 10 and 20 tons of fish died on the Piracicaba River in southeastern Brazil, Sao Paulo’s prosecutors said in a statement.
"The initial investigation points to an 'irregular discharge of #wastewater' from the Sao Jose Sugar and Alcohol company plant in the community of #RioDasPedras and it reached a stream that flows into the #PiracicabaRiver, prosecutors said.
"#SaoJose denied any involvement in the deaths of the fish, and said it was cooperating fully with authorities."
