“At the Canadian Water Resources Association National Conference in Winnipeg, colleagues shared insights from Canada's Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping Program. This initiative has seen over 400 flood mapping projects and more than 1,000 flood hazard maps produced, supported by a substantial investment of $164.2 million from 2024 to 2028.
Two key datasets:
• The Canada Flood Map Inventory, which records the locations of flood hazard maps and provides information on how to access them.
• The national Flood Susceptibility Index, a machine-learning assessment of flood-prone areas, including regions that have not been mapped in detail.
When these two layers are combined on a single screen, it becomes clear where future mapping efforts should be directed — specifically, areas with high susceptibility that currently lack detailed maps…”

Excited, as always, to head up to #VancouverBC later today to go see #BCLions tomorrow. Less excited for the #AtmosphericRiver conditions.

In the rubric of #ClimateChangeIsTheLastStraw

#TulareLake was the largest lake west of the Mississippi.
You would think a #water reservoir in an arid state is something to protect.
But no.
People drained it, to grow thirsty crops like #almonds, plus #dairy cattle.

This winter, #California got hit by more than one #AtmosphericRiver; the #snow pack is deep. That's now melting.
The meltwater is refilling the lake. And the warm season hasn't even started yet.
