#NISAR’s continuous monitoring is equally valuable for tracking changes in #levees, #dams, and #aqueducts"

The #floods are the product of torrential #rain across parts of the upper Mississippi River basin since Thurs, dumping totals of 10”–18” of rain…. Soils were already saturated from months of wetter-than-avg conditions before #storms fueled by intense Gulf of Mexico moisture lingered over the region Thurs–Sat.
That sent runoff into #streams & #rivers & overwhelming #levees…. Rivers are expected to crest Tues or Wed at moderate to record #flood stages.

"The fragility of aging #WaterInfrastructure is evident in many communities. The American Society of Civil Engineers' U.S. Infrastructure Report Card in 2021 gave U.S. municipal #water systems overall a grade of C-minus.
Flood protection infrastructure earned even lower grades: U.S. #levees and #dams both received D grades.
The challenges:
1: Many stakeholders; who decides?
2: Past decisions affect future choices
3: Who pays?"https://phys.org/news/2024-04-south-aging-infrastructure-pounded-climate.html

"By preventing the natural flooding process of the #Mississippi River, #levees stop sediment from replenishing wetlands and marshes. That speeds along the process of #erosion and #subsidence.
A study published in March 2023 found that #oil and #gas exploration and fluid extraction cause increased rates of subsidence."

One of the best non-profits I ever worked with is Leeves.org
One of their goals is to educate the media that levee failures played a major role in the devastation in #NewOrleans after Hurricane Katrina.
It's working!The AP just issued a guide for reporters for hurricane season, "when writing about the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, it is important to note that levee failures played a major role in the devastation in New Orleans."

Hey are there any St. Helena CA residents here? #StHelenaCA if you oppose the Hunter project we could use a hand reaching 800 signatures. You can read more about it here. It is not water neutral, it is luxury homes on a flood plain behind a levee. #levees https://www.change.org/p/save-the-city-of-st-helena-urge-city-council-to-vote-no-on-the-hunter-eir
