In a country that is home to 18% of the global population, surprisingly little attention is paid to how #sandmining intersects with #FoodSecurity at a time when the agricultural industry is trying to meet the increased demand for food #sandcrisis #sandstories #construction #India

More than 10 years after completing #Dubai's man-made islands, there is hardly anything built on them.
👀 This is a revealing video.
What should we learn from these 'prestige' #construction projects?
What's your view?

Rivers connect land and see.
Rivers connect mountains and beaches.
At the very base of this is sediment, eroded from land, transported by rivers.

Beautiful bike ride from Milton Keynes Central to Cranfield Uni on this crisp morning! It's getting darker every day though... Car drivers: please be mindful of us on the road. We'll do our bit and look like fluorescent, twinkling Christmas trees. #winteriscoming @CranfieldUni

Bangladesh wisdom:
rivers like snakes they move naturally
natural erosion of rivers is good

if you hurt their head they will wiggle their tail
some human interventions will cause serious erosion
bad for nature & people
