Special edition figure! This is NOT in the blog, but was made with the data in the main Table of the blog.

Where is your state on this figure? How does that make you feel?

Wetlands = the OG of water infrastructure. They stored flood water, filtered it & drove biodiversity and ecological productivity.

But...we drained them, and I think are still living with the hard consequences of those decisions.

New blog post out today! For years we’ve assumed birds sit comfortably atop aquatic-terrestrial food web interactions. After taking a closer look, though, we're starting to wonder if we’ve had the direction of control… backwards. 🐟🦆 Curious to hear what people think.

[CA Rice Commission @RiceNews]

From @UCDavisWater :
15 years of research show winter-flooded rice fields can help young salmon grow and thrive before heading to the ocean.

Working lands + science = real progress for fish and floodplain habitat.

Researchers say winter flooded rice fields in the Central Valley can provide critical habitat for young salmon, giving them a stronger start on their journey to the ocean. @UCDavisWater @USFWS @UCD_Environment

Can the feds stall dam removals on the Eel River?

“FERC can add conditions, but FERC has never found that it has the authority to force continued operations,” said Karrigan Börk of @UCDavisWater. “These dams are losing money for PG&E.” #cawater

This is a great piece from @JayLund113 on drought and #cawater.

"The absence of drought anywhere does not mean that this is one of CA's wettest years, or even that this year could not become a drought year." via @UCDavisWater
