Well, I did NOT finish my #SolarPunk jobs list. But it's on my To Do list... Next week, I'll plan on focusing on #WaterStorage and #Reuse -- #Greywater, #Rainbarrels, #Cisterns, etc., since #Maine is still experiencing a #Drought (despite all the snow), and other places are as well. I know I'll be pestering our Town Manager about getting some rainbarrels and #GreenMachine composters at cost for the local residents.

Boosting some posts from yesterday. I hope you'll join us next #SolarPunkSunday!

Estimating Increased Transient Water Storage With Increases In Beaver Dam Activity
--
https://doi.org/10.3390/w16111515 <-- shared paper
--
“Dam building by beaver (Castor spp.) slows water movement through montane valleys, increasing transient water storage and the diversity of residence times. In some cases, water storage created by beaver dam construction is correlated to changes in streamflow magnitude and timing. However, the total amount of additional surface and groundwater storage that beaver dams may create (and, thus, their maximum potential impact on streamflow) has not been contextualized in the water balance of larger river basins..."

Negligible Impact On Precipitation From A Permanent Inland Lake In Central Australia
--
https://doi.org/10.1029/2023GL103913 <-- shared paper
--
“KEY POINTS:
• A climate model is used to test the hypothesis that creating a large lake in central Australia would increase rainfall
• Locally, surface cooling effects of the lake suppress the formation of precipitation
• Regionally, moisture from the lake is exported to other areas but the amount is small compared to natural variability in Australian rainfall..."”
