Tariffs of a different kind: Malta's Environmental & Resource Authority remains undecided about setting tariffs for #groundwater extraction & the need for a licence to extract. All part of grappling with illegal extraction timesofmalta.com/article/author…

One of many sunken lanes through Lower Greensand rocks of W Sussex. Ancient tracks for people & animals. All can act as pathways for #rainfall #runoff to transport large quantities of #sediment from surrounding land to #River Rother #geology #water #contamination #transhumance

Interesting read on policy implementation to incentivise Managed #Aquifer Recharge as one action for sustainable #groundwater management. Similar read on the #hydrogeological basis, role of groundwater level monitoring & modelling would be interesting ppic.org/blog/making-re…

Need to know where Managed #Aquifer Recharge can help replenish #groundwater storage? Worth reading this approach to mapping fast #hydrogeological pathways for replenishing alluvial aquifers using agricultural land in #California Central Valley sustainability.stanford.edu/news/scientist…

Having worked on the #groundwater components of the Omo-Gibe Master Plan development about 30 years ago, it's amazing to hear how AI is now being used to help farmers locate #groundwater sources in #Ethiopia thereporterethiopia.com/44660/

Geology doesn’t stop at international borders. In our latest blog, Dr Andrew Farrant explores how collaboration with scientists across Europe is helping us better understand shared geological formations like the Chalk Group. Read more: bgs.ac.uk/news/geology-s…

With India suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, can they really stop #water flowing into Pakistan? Transboundary water management under stress but could water be "weaponised" further if tension rises between the two countries? bbc.com/news/articles/…

Paddling along the #River #Thames with the #water flow dominated by #groundwater fed from the diverse #aquifers of Thames catchment. But what's that on the bank🤔 An unexpected monitoring #borehole

Iraqi farmers are drilling #boreholes in the desert to sustain agricultural, subsidised by the government. But, understanding of sustainable #groundwater resources available is poor with some suggesting that it should be used as #drought contingency outlookbusiness.com/planet/industr…

May-July outlook: Normal #groundwater levels in southern Chalk but Below Normal in N England #aquifers & #Cotswolds. Below Normal #river flows most likely but exceptionally low in some catchments & Normal in W Scotland/Northern Ireland #Drought risk🤔 hydoutuk.net/latest-outlook…

Outlook is for normal to below normal #groundwater levels in June-Aug but notably low possible in some #aquifers. Despite above normal to exceptionally low #river flows in June, likely summer flows range from normal in NW to below normal & low elsewhere hydoutuk.net/latest-outlook…

After an exceptionally dry Spring & a dry, hot June, this is worth a read for context on current #water resources (rain, rivers, #groundwater & reservoirs) in the UK. Which regions are already in #drought & how close others are getting. bbc.com/news/articles/…

"How is #ClimateChange affecting Gloucestershire?" Diverse perspectives in this report from Edward Rowe at BBC Gloucestershire, including me on the exceptionally dry Spring affecting the #River Churn in #Cirencester & hinting at #drought. Thanks for the opportunity bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Good to see this 👇today as Environment AgencySE ask people to report incidents where fish are in distress or other impacts on the environment due to #drought and low river flow. Call 24hr Incident Hotline: 0800 80 70 60. Use water wisely: waterwise.org.uk #drought #climatechange

Outlook for July to Sept is for normal to below normal #groundwater levels across the country with #river flows remaining below normal to low in central & eastern areas but within the normal range in western regions. Check report for local variability hydoutuk.net/latest-outlook…

Different perspectives of the #River #Thames upstream (L) & downstream (R) of Cricklade, fed by #groundwater from the Cotswolds limestone & gravel #aquifers during the ongoing dry weather
