“HIGHLIGHTS
• The regional pattern of IGF in west-central Florida is dominated by the characteristics of the Upper Floridan Aquifer.
• IGF plays a major role in the available water for partitioning and watershed aridity index.
• Groundwater pumping affects IGF, and the change in IGF counteracts the human impact on available water..."

"This talk by #JamesBridle was part of '#OtherMinds', a season of work exploring different kinds of #intelligence: animal, mechanical, collective. In September 2024, #Watershed shared projects that ask what it means to work with minds that are utterly unlike our own, and how 'AI' can be part of a wider conversation about intelligence, labour, and creativity."

#Solarpunk #writing and #art idea:

A #watershed #map instead of a political or elevation one.

Imagining a world divided into bio-regions not by some arbitrary political body, but by the rivers and water circulation.

We could make it into a beautiful symbol of a sustainable future.

More about it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_divide

The one below is a work of https://www.grasshoppergeography.com/

"A Half Built Garden" book by Ruthanna Emrys implements such a vision!

#geography #drainageBasin #riverBasin

A globe of the Earth, but instead of a political or altitude map it's a colored map of watersheds with brightly-colored rivers making for the natural regions of the planet

Study shows logging impacts vary by season and region in China's Le'an River watershed. Midstream areas most sensitive!🌲

“But whatever the premises of opposition may be, only the most convincing justification under accepted standards of #precedent could suffice to demonstrate that a later decision overruling the first was anything but a #surrender to #political pressure, & an unjustified repudiation of the principle on which the Court staked its #authority….So to overrule under fire in the absence of the most compelling reason to re-examine a #watershed decision would subvert the Court's #legitimacy…”

Part of Holden Lake in Hemer Provincial Park in Cedar, near #Nanaimo.
Yesterday, Beau & I spent about 2 hours walking around the trails here. It was a gorgeous day 😊

This image shows a collage of three different scenes of a lake surrounded by a dense forest. The top-left scene shows a serene lake with lush green vegetation along the shoreline. The top-right scene offers a view framed by tree branches, creating a natural vignette of the lake and forest beyond. The bottom scene displays the lake surrounded by trees and riparian plants, with the sunlight shining brightly. Overall, the image evokes a sense of tranquility combined with a view of a beautiful forest.
