#Water security is deteriorating due to unusual #weather. Those changes are impacting mid-20th century #infrastructure that is coming of age now and there is no investment to compensate: also a symptom of economic stagnation & over-leveraged public sector https://t.co/KGKqvOUhwT

No excuses. We’ve known of the risks for decades. This is a failure of public management, ineffective institutions, inadequate plans, and poorly executed investments. There is a price for incompetence and inefficiency. This is it. https://t.co/4CifZaotjF

Rome circa 27BC was always flooded. If you were rich you built your villa on high ground, if not you got your feet and possessions wet. Modern cities solved that problem for all. Until now it seems. Time to reconsider our relationship to #urban #nature. https://t.co/AalplayhLo

September 2018 saw further drying in the western US and further wetting in the east. Upper CO River Basin remains in record/near-record drought and Appalachians are record/near-record wet. This east-west dipole resembles an exaggerated version of trends over the past century.

Yes, these parks are beautiful—but they also create green spaces that absorb water, filter the air, lower temperatures, and yield so many other benefits
