Landlocked on Purpose
In the fall of 1922, Aldo Leopold and his brother Carl paddled a canoe into the delta of the Colorado River and found a wilderness of green lagoons, a hundred channels braiding through two million acres of cottonwood and willow, egrets standing in the shallows, deer in the cane, and somewhere beyond the firelight the jaguar they never saw and never stopped feeling. Leopold wrote about that trip a quarter century later and confessed that he never went back. He preferred the delta as memory held it, because he understood what was coming for it. He was right to stay away. In November of that same year, in a lodge outside Santa Fe, commissioners from seven states signed the Colorado River Compact and divided the river on paper. The canoe and the signature belong in the same paragraph because one of them canceled the other. […] -

We’ve notified #WesternWater maybe 6 times since 2012 that my father had died, yet they continue to show his name on our water bills & won’t let me change my account settings online to delete his name from our account.

The Mountain Hydrology Group at INSTAAR just released their 2/1/23 real-time snow water equivalent (SWE) report. Percent of 2001-2021 average ranges btw. 174-250+%. Check it out! We have updated our model and have added comparisons to airborne snow.

The part where this is 100% caused by upstream diversions of fresh-water that should flow to the lake is buried deep and glossed over. | The Great Salt Lake’s ecological collapse has begun
Scientists note changes to the food web they’ve never seen before, which could lead to endangered species listings and other disasters at Utah’s famous natural wonder. https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2022/11/08/great-salt-lakes-ecological/ #water #agwater #drought #westernwater #waterlaw
