Meltwater found pathways through the mountains and primed more faults to rupture.

TL;DR : Last ice age > SW USA had many storms while the PNW stayed dry. After the last ice age, storms shifted N, leading to different groundwater responses. Aquifer vulnerability is now greater in the SW. Introducing paleoclimate data in models is important. smartwatermagazine.com/news/woods-h...

It's the last Friday of the month, which means it's time for our monthly TRAQUA newsletter! If you're going on a holiday soon and fearing withdrawal symptoms, don't worry. TRAQUA has you covered ๐Ÿ˜‰. www.linkedin.com/pulse/traqua...

Enerzijds zet aanhoudende droogte het grondwater onder druk, anderzijds komt het grondwater door het wegdek heen. Hydrogeologie is geen simpel verhaal en een grondige kennis is noodzakelijk voor een duurzaam beheer. www.pzc.nl/nieuws/grond...

As much as I hate doing this. I've run out of things to sell, and art comms and rock tours are thin on the ground. So if your able and willing to help out, then that would be super appreciated. gofund.me/892e2599

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

TRAQUA is specialised in fluorescent dye tracing...and having 50 of our own STREAM fluorometers to our disposal means we can install large monitoring networks, collection data with high spatial and temporal resolution during a single test. We offer our STREAMs for rent: www.traqua.be/en/technologie

Ik ben opgegroeid met het idee dat je in de politiek allerlei meningsverschillen kunt vieren maar dat er grote overeenstemming was over het idee dat het vernietigen van hele volken foute boel was. Die blijkt er niet zijn en dat is schokkend. Daarom ga ik vandaag naar de #rodelijn #derodelijn.
