#Water vs #Sewage

Thousands of blue-clad protesters join London march for clean water

More than 130 organisations take part in protest demanding government action over country’s sewage crisis

I really can't wait until I can revert to just posting about #climatechange, #water, and #science rather than garbage, racism, sexism, and the threat of a fascist takeover of America.

So, here's a pretty picture of water for now.

Talk about a "glass half full or half empty" kind of story:

This article paints a rosy picture of the level of the #water in Lake Mead being 17 feet higher than in 2022.

But it's 166 feet lower than full.
The Colorado River continues to suffer from a shortage of supply and an excess of demand. That's not sustainable.

[Oh, and the article completely fails to mention the role that #climate change is already playing in cutting flows of the Colorado River.]
