  1. I cross this small creek on my lunch walks, but I don't think I've ever seen it quite this active. About a foot higher than normal (usually it's a slow 6-inch brook) and looking VERY lively.

    ✧ indigenous people of the Everglades region ✧

    The indigenous people of the Everglades region arrived in the Florida peninsula 15,000 years ago. The Paleo-Indians found an arid landscape. Climate changes 6,500 years ago brought a wetter landscape, and the Paleo-Indians slowly adapted to the new conditions. Archaeologists call the cultures t...

  3. Along the NSW and Queensland coast there are stunning beaches lined with multi-million-dollar homes and polluted creeks

    "Burgess Creek runs from Noosa Junction to the beachfront. Burgess Creek runs 5 kilometres from heavily commercialised Noosa Junction to the otherwise idyllic beachfront, and contains signs warning against swimming and human consumption. Burgess Creek does contain treated sewage effluent. Signs indicate "creek water contains treated sewage effluent", but compounding issues include fertiliser run-off, historic landfill sites, erosion, invasive flora, animal excrement and household run-off."

    "When they took the sewage out to sea, it was a revelation because there was no more crap coming back on to the beach."

  4. BÄCHE IN BIELEFELD

    It's only running water, but I like it!

    Water seeks its way. Über und unter Wasser ...

    Wasser sucht sich seinen Weg. Der Bach Ems-Lutter sieht so bei seiner Suche aus:

  5. Fall on Clear Creek and #ClearCreekTrail

    A little hard to see the creek in the middle there. Caught this a day or two before full color and planned to go back but a storm took a lot of the leaves down. Hard to catch the timing on the fall colors and sometimes, weather 🤷‍♂️.

  6. Waterways contaminated with "forever chemicals"
    The fate of Bellingen's platypuses

    "An Australian-first study found perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in the liver of deceased platypuses collected from numerous rivers in eastern NSW. PFOS is toxic to humans and has been linked to some cancers."

    "Scientists from Western Sydney University (WSU) have discovered perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in the livers of eight deceased platypuses collected from numerous eastern NSW rivers, from the north coast in Bellingen to the alps of Jindabyne."

    "All eight wild platypuses collected from NSW waterways over the past two and a half years returned results with concentrations of some PFOS in them, ranging from 4 micrograms per kilogram (µg/kg) to 1,200 µg/kg — some of the highest concentrations of any species in the world."

  7. BÄCHE IN BIELEFELD
    #StadtDerBäche #CityOfCreeks

    Sensationell unspektakuläre Bäche bestimmen das Stadtgebiet. Die für Bielefeld so typischen Grünzüge sind meist das Drumherum von Bächen. Alles ist voller Brücken. Früher gab es eine Vielzahl an Wassermühlen. Heute werden Bachauen als naturnahe Gebiete genutzt. Es gibt viel zu entdecken.
