⚠️TOMORROW - America's #MostEndangeredRivers of 2023 will be released - Did your river make the list? Stay tuned to find out

[California Department of Water Resources @CA_DWR]

We are happy California has a break in the rain. Here's🎥 from early in week showing Fremont Weir, Cache Creek Outlet Weir, & the Yolo Bypass doing exactly what they were designed to do & help manage #flood. Weirs are passive systems & move water when it reaches a specific height

When you see an article so full of egregious beaver slander that you have to break twitter sabbatical just to tag @EmilyFairfax and @ben_a_goldfarb. No surprise, they're already on it... #beaverbeliever

[Dr. Emily Fairfax @EmilyFairfax]

This may be one of the most offensively written and non-scientific titles that I’ve ever seen on an article about #beavers.

Healthier rivers lead to healthier communities and a healthier planet. By giving rivers the space and freedom they need to thrive, we can build climate resiliency and battle #climatechange through natural processes. #ClimateWeekNYC https://t.co/cOiywPicO7

[Gina McCarthy Archived @ginamccarthy46]

Today we're launching a new climate website to help communities build resilience, with:
💻 Real-time dashboard of extreme weather
🔎 Interactive maps of future climate impacts for each area
🧰 Tools to develop resilience plans & access federal funding

Floodplains aren’t separate from a river — they’re an extension of it. It’s time to change how we connect with them

It was a Sunday Funday exploring floodplain wetlands of the West Fork of the Kickapoo with the Valley Stewardship Network. Many sedge meadows at risk to erosion-induced drainage.

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

1/ Flooding is a rising threat across the United States, with homeowners facing as much as $19 billion in damages every year.

What puts a neighborhood at high risk? Geography is key, but new data reveal another factor, too: race.

[Eileen Shader @eilfretz]

Floodplain folks- anyone aware of numbers on disconnected floodplains? @asfpm @ASWMCommunicate @KrisAJohnson @TheWaterAway @smurdock377

[Ben Goldfarb @ben_a_goldfarb]

Fingers crossed: what's the best estimate of national floodplain disconnection due to linear infrastructure? I'm seeking a very specific figure, if it exists—the total percentage of American floodplain that has lost functionality because of roads, railroads, dikes, etc. Thanks!

[Eileen Shader @eilfretz]

@ben_a_goldfarb Oh I wish I had the answer! USACE national levee database has over 25000 miles of levees, but that’s just a fraction.
