@DrALJONES
Interesting analysis, thks for the précis! 🙏🏻
“… Israel’s [fresh water/desalination] production capacity is concentrated along a narrow stretch of coastline."

It is "vulnerable to... concentrated missile barrages or suicide drone attacks from multiple fronts."
Including from the sea no doubt, which Iran seems adept at using (all those ‘Iran-related’ ships that got past the Trumpian “blockade”, cough cough - I’ve read that it was 34 ships several times, also 29, so understand the actual no. is at least in 2 digits… and those reports were at least a day ago, so… 🤔

🙏🏻 again for sharing so much intelligent commentary & analysis - get so sick & tired of the US outright lies, rah rah & BS (incl that from their “I’m not a pedophile” C-in-C, honestly!!). Good to talk with grown ups! 😀

"This research concludes that fog water collection is feasible in the northeast and southeast areas surrounding the city, where fog collection rates reach up to 10 L m−2 day−1. Fog water has the potential to serve as an effective alternative water source for populations lacking access to drinking water from a public water source, and for activities such as irrigation of urban green spaces, human consumption, and hydroponic farming."

Dentro de las cosas notables que se pueden ver en #Uruguay está el rechazo del Tribunal de lo Contencioso Administrativo (la justicia superior en temas de administración pública) a admitir una publicación científica de la principal Universidad del país #udelar como prueba, porque (atención) *está en inglés*.
Igual o menos notable es el rechazo a la comparecencia de dos de los autores del mismo por *no ser imparciales*.
Esto responde a una solicitud del equipo legal del Ministerio de #Ambiente y OSE (Administración de servicios públicos de #aguapotable entre otras cosas).

Comparto la nota a la población de la Sociedad de Limnología del Uruguay:

Among the notable things that can be seen in Uruguay is the refusal of the Administrative Litigation Court (the highest court in matters of public administration) to admit a #scientific publication as evidence because (attention) *it is in English*.
Equally or less notable is the rejection of the appearance of two of its authors for *not being impartial*.
This responds to a request from the legal team of the Ministry of #Environment and #ose (Administration of public services for #potable #water among other things).

Here I share the open letter from the Uruguayan Society for Limnology: (in Spanish)

#Gaza #PotableWater

Issues re enshrining water rights for humans in the constitution would likely include:

Extended drought
Environment protection vs people demand
Agriculture
Impact on underground water basins
Extended pollution from floods and fires
New development in arid areas expecting the govt will pipe water

to state a few. 2/2

NSW govt wants to enshrine the right to potable water in the constitution.

Good on the face of it but there will need to be some provisos to prevent it causing harm. 1/2

Thoughts @petergleick?

( #OneidaNation of the Thames, a #FirstNation just south of #LondonON that has been on a #BoilWaterAdvisory since 2019, has #secured $43 million in #FederalFunding to bring treated #DrinkingWater to the community.
The connection to the #LakeHuron Primary #Water System will supply #PotableWater to more than 500 homes & public buildings to the community, which is home to nearly 2,200 residents.
