Nice preview of the history of ventilation and how it links to fundamental principles of the physics of fluids

Are environmental risks acceptable ?

It’s not only about jobs lost to AI and if it’s a bubble, but also that it’s competing with essentials like clean water, energy, metals and minerals - which unfortunately we don’t have plenty of (leading not only in price hikes but critical shortages too) https://t.co/uOi35utzuI

That’s a great anti fouling mechanism for drainage system (if they are to be serviced by expert crews when needed)

Easy to install flood barriers. Notice how they purposely utilise part of the road infrastructure next to the riverbank as a floodplain (so that more capacity can be routed for the given height of the barriers).

Wow just look at the transport and pilling up of these wooden debris during a strong #flood

For the first time in 38 years, 1,500 cubic meters of water per second are being released from the dam on the Euphrates River in Syria!

The authorities announced the start of a controlled water discharge due to a strong water flow from Turkey. It is reported that some dams in Turkey have reached their maximum filling level after heavy rains.

On social media, most people living in the Middle East are thanking Iran for bombing the American climate control system.

BREAKING:

Israel just dropped bombs on the Qaraoun Dam in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley — a key water reservoir serving civilian populations across surrounding villages.

This is not a battlefield target.

It is a critical water infrastructure.

This is an act of genocide.

The Euphrates Dam in Syria, the country's largest reservoir, has reached a water level not observed since 1988

It is currently filled to 97% of its capacity after receiving 3 billion cubic meters of water in recent weeks due to an unusually strong rainy season in Syria and Turkey.

Interesting… what do hydrologists say?

[Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi]

The most rewarding thing to watch now in international news: waterways and reservoirs in West Asia flowing with abundance, from Turkey to Iraq to Iran. Rivers rising, dams opening. So satisfying

Could the US have created an artificial drought in the region, lasting decades? I have no doubt they would

Often big engineering works are a testament to grand (geo-)political wills

That is an important #dam engineering project - I can only imagine the amount of real time instrumentation embedded in and around the dam, to ensure it’s safe operation!
