"SLOW WATER" is what I'm calling the way we can adapt to avoid the increased flood risk of 48 percent of global land area by 2100, and 52% of the population, per a new study from @nature https://t.co/HOsBKS4u2Q

Humans have degraded 75 percent of Earth's land, destabilizing the #water cycle, amplifying effects of excess CO2. The water cycle is a key climate stabilizer but overlooked by policymakers. Restoring wetlands, floodplains, forests, recreating a Sponge Planet, will help.

[Erica Gies / SlowWater.World @egies]

Mr. Sponge City, Kongjian Yu, makes cities porous to soften floods & droughts. His story & the #slowwater movement are in my book "Water Always Wins." Now we & Warren Wood have a Comment in NatureWater on how to help stabilize the climate: a Sponge Planet. https://t.co/VHcos1NPkE

Last week in Montrey, CA, we spotted sea otters in the wild!
At @MontereyAq, we were entranced by the giant kelp forest tank and spotted Whale Fall in the gift shop.
So glad @pfairley & @egies invited us to visit for a week of fun, adventure, and reconnecting.

If this isn't the nail in the coffin than I really don't know what is. Systematic review finds carbon offsets don't work. https://t.co/NB2eTiAhDh

BREAKING: Tsunami activity forecast to hit San Francisco at 12:10.

If you are in a tsunami warning area, a tsunami with damaging waves and powerful currents is possible.

His eyes see what others miss— like this puddle, or certain water-loving plants that are clues to lost creeks. He gestures toward the trees that line the park’s edge on Fulton Street. 'Willows are like a flag,' he says."

[Erica Gies / SlowWater.World @egies]

Water has memory. And we've taken so much of its space. The global #slowwater movement is making people safer by returning floodplains (which exist to absorb floods), wetlands, meadows and forests to a more natural water cycle. Stories in my book https://t.co/2WDWWTD73r

[Erica Gies / SlowWater.World @egies]

@RebeccaSolnit Right, because no single-focused tech "innovation" ever caused unintended negative consequences when inserted into a complex natural system that literally supports our ability to live.

Hundreds of salmon are now spawning in Klamath River tributaries above the 4 recently dismantled dams for the first time 60 & 112 years. It is exciting and bodes well for the future. Still, it will take several years for fish runs to recover & there is still much more work to do.
