"In contrast to carbon, however, society’s response to water aspects of the climate emergency has been underwhelming." says our Executive Director, Dr. @JayFamiglietti, in a recent @wef blog post 👇🏾 #Davos

[What About Water? @WhatAboutWater_]

How do we filter the hype from the hope for solutions to our planet's water crisis?

Join Dr. @JayFamiglietti (formerly @NASAJPL, now @USASK_Water Exec Director) as he explores this topic in Season 4 of the #WhatAboutWater podcast.

Available wherever you dive into your podcasts.

Meet our host. Before coming to @USask & @USask_Water, @JayFamiglietti worked at @NASAJPL. One of the projects he worked on was GRACE. The shocking results from GRACE is one of the reasons why Jay is so passionate about water science communication. #FilmmakerFriday #MeetTheTeam

San Diego County’s 1st #IndirectPotableReuse project is operational 🚿🚽♻️🚰👏

At the end of December, the 4.5 MGD Pure Water Oceanside project began operations, producing 32% of the city’s water supply & reducing reliance on imported water by 45%.

🚨 I’m the new water reporter at the @latimes, covering California and the West. I want to invite all of you to share tips — topics to investigate, readings, people I should talk to, questions you wonder about. It all helps. Please DM or email me. Thanks! https://t.co/3RwCmGuYlB

In a raft floating down the Grand Canyon, the West’s shifting water challenges come into focus: @judyfutah writes about returning to raft the Colorado River three decades after a 'floating press conference' during a very different time. https://t.co/aGNi3SReL6 @insideclimate

Big, complex aquifers that require new ways of thinking about sustainability.

A big crack about 10 feet deep appeared in a road in southern Arizona, forcing its closing while workers repaired the damage. The large fissure is deepening concerns among residents about the effects of unregulated groundwater pumping. https://t.co/qkf9MHWCMZ @tonydavis987

[Brian Thomas 🏳️‍🌈 @BFThomas_Water]

As reservoir storage decreases, groundwater stores will be depleted. If you think the situation is bad now, wait until the straw goes dry. It’s not a new story. @JayFamiglietti @WaterCastles https://t.co/4xCP2HDeGL

[Ian James @ByIanJames]

The past 12 months have been the driest on record across much of the Colorado River watershed. The driest in 126 years of records. This week's map shows that, with deep red covering much of the watershed. (https://t.co/OHfAuBSK2P) https://t.co/p5HPXqAFTk

Here we go again... seems like just yesterday we were in the worst #drought in CA history. Hearing this next one will take the cake. #extremedrought #ClimateCrisis #water #westernwater

[Jennifer Buckman @Jeni_Buckman]

“Droughchy”: (adj.) when the severe western drought is making you short-tempered. Co-author credit to @tenentaquam, but the adjective doesn’t apply to her.

Infrastructure damage is one of many negative impacts from groundwater depletion in the Central Valley as seen by @NASAJPL satellites and scientists and @JayFamiglietti https://t.co/hycAH2lE9N

[Stephanie Castle Zinn @WaterCastles]

As ⁦@JayFamiglietti⁩ says, nothing we we didn’t already know. The #GRACE satellite showed us this #groundwater depletion trend back in 2014. https://t.co/AXvpVdxutf

Socioeconomic impacts of losing millions of acres of #farmland in the Central Valley. Dark blue shows direct job losses which overlap with disadvantaged communities. Grim findings by @UCBerkeley Professor Sunding.

[Stephanie Castle Zinn @WaterCastles]

Listening into #SGMA groundwater updates and impacts on the Central Valley #agriculture and #jobs at the @UrbanWaterInc conference. Scientists, farmers and regulators makes for a great panel!

The largest single user of Colorado River water in Arizona is the Colorado River Indian Tribes, who are legally barred from leasing water to Arizona's cities. They're seeking legislation that would enable them to put some water on the market. https://t.co/Q7Zk3Ej7Vv

Today is the day! The 2021 #LTAWFilmFest is live with 3 award-winning films about #EnvironmentalRacism available for viewing 1/28 - 2/4. Our lineup begins with none other than There's Something in the Water (2020) directed by @TheElliotPage & Ian Daniel! https://t.co/H2xdK0V2UN

Amazing how Trump enacted a media blackout for @EPA scientists during his first days as president, and now he’s banned from all social media platforms. #karma #sciencetrumpsbullshit #ByeByeTrump
