Need another 4-5 years of this to really impact our Deschutes Basin. #water #drought #PrayForSnow

[OPB @OPB]

As spring continues, the snow and ice that remains on Oregon’s higher elevations are melting into runoff that could help refill reservoirs and streams, and rejuvenate forests and vegetation. https://t.co/gcOKsMuWzV

Great to see local @ConfluenceFly shop adding a bar to their @oldmilldistrict location. This should probably be required for all fly shops moving forward. #GreatWaterGreatBeer

Feels good to be fully vaccinated + boosted and carrying on with family holiday traditions this year.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Vaccines are the strongest tool we have in the fight against COVID-19 and its dangerous variants. Head into winter with the highest level of protection: get vaccinated and boosted as soon as possible.

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

Game changer indeed. Accessible & reliable ET #data allows #water utilities to adopt rate structures that incentivize outdoor #conservation w/out having to own costly #weather stations.

[EDF @EnvDefenseFund]

This is a game-changer: OpenET, a new online water data platform, lets farmers and water managers easily track how much water crops use. The tool makes critical data for water management widely available in 17 western states amid record drought.

There’s a #GreatWaterGreatBeer story behind @cruxbrew’s Pre-Prohibition Lager. So great you might need two. #beer #water #bend

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

Love the artwork and collabs that are coming out of the #Bend #beer scene these days. #GreatWaterGreatBeer

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

@EmilyKirk_ Tastes great!

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

Wow. When worlds collide...in a can. Kudos to @10BarrelBrewing and @simmsfishing for being awesome.

[Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure @TransportDems]

.@POTUS knows that investing in infrastructure means investing in our wastewater systems. @TransportDems have introduced the bipartisan Water Quality Protection and Job Creation Act to fix our sewers, reduce pollution and create jobs.

Happy #earthday to all the #water #wastewater and #stormwater professionals charging ahead toward a more sustainable water future.

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

Hope you’re ready for the weekend. #GreatWaterGreatBeer

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

More and more companies are evaluating their #water sources as potential risk to future success. https://t.co/RzsoLiajJ7

Ban on US water shutoffs could have prevented thousands of Covid deaths – study https://t.co/YMkYxhsZQu

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

Good to see real help (potentially) on the way to assist with #water #infrastructure woes in Warm Springs and elsewhere. https://t.co/7Cpne6v1dC

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

@BendDirt PRVO gauge. I’d say 20 cfs and 50 cfs are both in the “low” range.

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

Sunday morning moment of nature from cold Crooked River just outside Prineville, OR. Low flows @ 49 cfs.

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

Checking out @RogueWaterLab during a lunch break today. Good to hear from @TomHickmann on his #water journey.

[Mike Buettner @MikeOnWater]

Recharge.
