Humans Have Pumped Enough Groundwater to Change the Tilt of the Earth - Yale E360 From 1993 to 2010, they determined, humans redistributed enough water to move the rotational pole roughly 31 inches. The findings were published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

H/T @uk National River Flow Archive at UKCEH
“The National River Flow Archive (NRFA), based at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, is the UK’s official record of river flow data.
[They] collate, curate and provide access to data from over 1,600 gauging stations all around the UK, including the extensive networks operated by the Environment Agency (England), Natural Resources Wales, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and for Northern Ireland, the Department for Infrastructure - Rivers.
[Their] data [is] used in many ways; for example, to assess water availability and to assess the impacts of climate change over time. Some of [their] records go back to the nineteenth century, and many go back to the 1960s, allowing us to identify long-term trends in river flows, and to assess flood and drought events in relation to other similar events in the past…”

“Download all UK catchment boundaries for NRFA stations in one go!
[The H/T is] pleased to announce a new feature on the NRFA website that makes accessing catchment boundary data faster and easier than ever. Users can now download a complete dataset of catchment boundaries for all available NRFA gauging stations directly from the website.
Previously, obtaining catchment boundaries for multiple stations meant either downloading them individually from station pages or contacting the NRFA team for a bulk dataset. The new service provides immediate access to the full collection, helping support hydrological analysis, mapping, environmental research and water management applications.
✅ Download catchment boundaries for the entire NRFA network in a single dataset
✅ Available in ESRI Shapefile format (.shp)
✅ Ideal for regional and national-scale analyses
✅ Updated annually alongside the NRFA archive release
You can access the dataset from the NRFA search page or via direct download…”

Planted last year, rewarding us already!
Our little guava tree is now bearing fruit. We can't wait to enjoy its harvest!Who else loves freshly picked guavas? 😋
