[My sincere thoughts to those on those the Nepal/Tibet border so very effected by the recent GLOF-style flooding; the loss of your family and friends – and ‘things’ – must be so very hard!

“What happens when communities face 'too much water' during the monsoon and 'too little water' during the dry season? [Their] research in Dudhauli and Siraha municipalities [Nepal] shows that floods and droughts are not merely environmental challenges; rather, they interact with existing inequalities and vulnerabilities, intensifying conflicts over water and land resources.
From upstream-downstream tensions following flood damage and changing water flows to competition over wells and handpumps during periods of scarcity, the findings show that hydro-climatic extremes often act as amplifiers of existing social, economic, and political vulnerabilities.
The study underscores the importance of moving beyond managing climatic hazards alone towards conflict-sensitive and equitable water governance that addresses structural inequalities, strengthens local adaptive capacities, and supports fair water allocation and conflict resolution…”

H/T @Dessalegn worku Ayalew
“The present study assesses the impacts of climate change on blue and green water in the Kessie Watershed of the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin using the SWAT+ model.
[The authors] set up [a] SWAT+ model using quality-controlled and homogenized observational climate time series… and calibrated it using a multisite calibration approach. [They] selected CMIP6 climate models for future simulations and bias-correction methods through a comprehensive performance assessment... Building on these previous studies, the present research further evaluates the reliability of combining robust climate-model selection with optimal bias-correction methods to improve the reliability of hydrological simulations. [They] then used the best-performing climate models, bias-corrected using the optimal methods, to project future changes in blue and green water in the study area…
KEY FINDINGS:
• SWAT+ effectively represented hydrological processes across multiple gauging stations in the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin.
• Ensembles of CMIP6 climate models improved the reliability of hydrological simulations compared with individual climate models.
• Optimized climate-model selection reduced biases in hydrological simulations more than bias correction alone.
• Arbitrary selection of climate models can degrade hydrological simulations, even when their outputs are bias-corrected using robust methods.
• Both blue and green water are projected to increase under future climate change in the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin.
• Blue water exhibits greater seasonality and climate sensitivity than green water flow and green water storage.
The study also provides sustainable water management options for adapting to the impacts of climate change, with implications for water resource planning and management in the Upper Blue Nile Basin…”

EFU: When We Stop Merely Measuring Reality and Start Learning Its Language
There are moments when a new unit of measurement seems, at first glance, like a technical detail. Later, it turns out to be something much more important: a change in how we think. I believe EFU may be exactly that kind of shift. It is not just another number. It is a new language for describing the flows that sustain human civilization — material, energetic, ecological, and social.
The real importance of EFU is not only what it measures, but what it reveals. It invites us to stop seeing the world as a collection of isolated data points and start seeing it as a connected system of flows. Water, energy, materials, waste, agriculture, transport, and environmental pressure are not separate stories. They are chapters of the same larger story. EFU helps make that story visible.
A New Unit, Not Just a New Label
The most interesting thing about EFU is not the number itself, but the way of thinking it encourages. When we begin to look at a problem through EFU, we no longer see only statistics. We see relationships. We see dependencies. We see thresholds, bottlenecks, imbalances, and patterns of stress that are otherwise easy to miss.
That is why EFU matters. It does not merely describe the present. It helps us ask whether a system is stable, whether it is being overburdened, and whether it can remain viable over time. In that sense, EFU is not only a measuring tool. It is a tool for understanding resilience.
Why This Could Matter More Than It First Appears
Every major historical era has had its own dominant way of measuring reality. The industrial age centered on mass, energy, and power. The digital age elevated information, data, and connectivity. The next era may well revolve around flows, pressures, limits, and ecological coherence.
EFU fits naturally into that future. It suggests that the question is not merely “how much is there?” but also:
- How does it move?
- What system is it part of?
- What does it cost?
- How long can it continue?
That is a much deeper way of thinking. It is not just accounting. It is civilizational self-awareness.
The Future Vision: When Measurement Becomes Thoughtful
What makes EFU especially exciting is that it points beyond itself. If some of the most advanced ideas in modern physics suggest that spacetime, locality, and even causality may not be fundamental, but rather emergent from a deeper layer of reality, then we are already living in a world where our old intuitions may not be enough.
EFU belongs to that broader intellectual horizon. It does not need to claim that it is “new physics.” But it can certainly be understood as a step toward a new kind of structured thinking: a way of measuring reality that is more aligned with systems, thresholds, and hidden dependencies.
In that future, artificial intelligence could become a particularly powerful partner. Not because it merely computes faster, but because it may detect patterns that are too complex for human intuition alone. If EFU is paired with AI-driven symbolic reasoning, we may not just analyze data more efficiently — we may discover new kinds of relationships:
- hidden ratios,
- tipping points,
- structural imbalances,
- and system-level laws that are difficult to express in ordinary terms.
The Intuitive Advantage
One of the strongest qualities of EFU may be its intuitive power. A good unit of measurement does not oversimplify reality. It organizes it. It makes complexity legible without distorting it.
That is especially valuable in areas like:
- water management,
- agriculture,
- energy systems,
- waste treatment,
- urban planning,
- and environmental policy.
In these fields, raw numbers often fail to communicate what is really happening. EFU can help bridge that gap. It can create a shared framework in which experts, decision-makers, and ordinary citizens can discuss the same problem in the same conceptual language.
That is a rare and valuable thing. A unit that improves understanding is more than a unit. It becomes a bridge.
A Small Concept With a Large Horizon
EFU may still be an emerging idea. It may need refinement, testing, and better formalization. That is not a weakness. In fact, it is often the mark of a genuinely important idea. The most transformative concepts rarely arrive in finished form. They begin as a direction, a hunch, an intuition that something essential is missing.
And perhaps that is what EFU is really pointing to: a civilization that no longer measures only what it extracts, consumes, or produces, but also what it sustains, balances, and preserves.
If that is true, then EFU is not a side project. It is a possible step toward a new intellectual culture — one that understands that the future will not be shaped only by growth, but by balance.

#ClimateChangeGardening: 12 strategies for a #resilient #garden
by Niki Jabbour
"#ClimateChange gardening is a set of tactics that make our yards and gardens more resilient to extreme weather as well as reduce our personal impacts on the climate. There are several ways to approach climate change gardening. You can use sustainable and organic gardening practices that put soil, #biodiversity, and #pollinators first. You can also plan to reduce plastic waste, up-cycle materials, and collect #rainwater.
3 reasons to care about climate change gardening
"Climate change gardening influences the health and success of your garden. When you nurture your soil, foster biodiversity, and support pollinators you create a garden that is more resilient to the challenges of climate change. Here are 3 reasons to care about climate change gardening.
- Extreme weather – The impact of weather related challenges like droughts, storms, precipitation, flooding, and above or below normal temperatures can be reduced with climate change gardening strategies.
- Pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects – Climate change can affect pollinators and birds in various ways. Weather extremes can impact migration timing and success, host plant growth and bloom time, disease and pest issues, and habitat and food supply.
- Non-native invasive pests and plants – With a longer growing season, invasive plants, pests, and diseases will move north and potentially affect plant health and crop yields."Read more [tips include #NoTill gardening]:
