Mining harm and liability

River Styles Framework (Planetary science 🪐)
The River Styles Framework is a scientific tool used to describe and explain the diversity and distribution of river types in a catchment according to river character and behaviour. The River Styles Framework is based on the science of fluvial geomorphology. Each river type is called a "River Style" and its ...

#Flooding is a challenge affecting everything from economic security, to drinking water & the pursuit of truth & reconciliation. #Canada must adapt to the urgent risks posed by worsening floods. Luckily, numerous pathways exist for individual #Canadians to engage in #CollectiveActions to protect ourselves & our communities.
#ClimateChange is shifting how water moves through landscapes both in our #communities & around the globe. #Information & #awareness is key in this world of changing conditions. However, a 2022 #audit of #FloodRisk preparedness in #Ontario reported that public awareness of personal flood risk & #liability is poor across the province.
Many Canadians are just one bad storm away from an unmitigated watery #disaster. Floods are the most expensive & most frequent type of #NaturalHazard in Canada. An analysis of #insurance solutions for flood risk found that current residential flood risk in Canada is estimated at $2.9 billion per year.
#NatureBased #CommunityDriven #solutions have huge potential to address gaps in #infrastructure, promote resilience & build #ecological knowledge—often at a much reduced cost than traditional hard solutions like seawalls or embankments.
#GreenInfrastructure can also be highly effective along #watercourses where, once established, vegetation helps to filter surface #pollutants, stabilize #erosion & prevent surges of water from spilling over.

Thousands of trees planted in Devon to improve water quality
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-67826768
Wonderful initiative, especially using a mix of native species. 🌳 🌳
However, this doesn't offset rogue sewage outfall, nor trees chopped down in towns and cities.

Good to see #thameswater sharing #data for near real-time information about #storm #overflow activity.
It shows #discharges into #watercourses
Data questions I have - Is there access to the underlying data? What is the #licensing? Is this #opendata
