Water rationing impacts thousands of western Iowans on the Avoca system

Five-years of near-drought conditions are taking a toll on the amount of water a southwestern Iowa utility can distribute to its customers. The Regional Water Rural Water Association, based in Avoca, has instituted “Level Red” mandatory water restrictions for customers across the Avoca Treatment Plant System, including parts of Audubon, Cass, Harrison, Pottawattamie and Shelby counties.

Exceptionally low river levels forecast in parts of the UK

The warning comes after the driest spring in England since 1961, with northern regions experiencing the driest start to the year in nearly a century.

Drought Center

Above-normal precipitation supported drought improvements across large portions of the South, Southeast and Northeast, plus parts of the Southwest and High Plains.

Meanwhile, precipitation totals were below normal across much of the West and Midwest this week.

The Drought Download video series uses maps, climate indicators and graphics to visualize the US Drought Monitor national drought summary.

Einohrhörnchen hat genug zu trinken, aber es ist weiterhin viel zu trocken und kein Regen abzusehen.
Bitte stellt den Tierchen, wo immer es geht, Wasser zur Verfügung, das ist wichtig!
One-eared squirrel has plenty to drink, but it's still far too dry, and no rain is in sight.
Please provide water for the animals wherever possible; it's important!

Ein Eichhörnchen, dem das linke Ohr fehlt, stitz auf einem Brunnenrand und trinkt. Das Eichhörnchen spiegelt sich komplett im Wasser A squirrel missing its left ear sits on the edge of a fountain, drinking. The squirrel is completely reflected in the water.

For #WaterfallWednesday, I wanted to show you #Magdeburg's own "Cracau waterfall" (yes, this is the official name with #Cracau being the name of the district 😄), which, or course, is not a real waterfall, but a small #weir on a cut-off meander of the #Elbe river that controls the water level of the regular Elbe.
As you can see, with the ongoing #drought, only a pitiful amount of water trickles through the small sluice in the middle. 😞 Photo was taken on Sunday

The image captures an aerial view of a serene landscape. A wide river dominates the scene, reflecting the sky and clouds like a mirror. The water's surface is mostly smooth, with slight ripples. The banks of the river are sandy, with a few people visible walking along the edge. Green grass and trees border the sandy areas, adding a touch of nature's beauty to the scene. The sky is bright blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds, completing the picturesque view.

Today's (Tuesday, 13 May) dust storm development over the southwest US was extensive.

This visible light weather satellite loop shows several things:

- The worst part of the dust storm developed over southern New Mexico, extreme west Texas (El Paso), and extreme northern Chihuahua, Mexico.

- High winds were quite widespread, and as the sun angle gets low just before sunset you can see dust being kicked up over the northeast corner of Arizona, southern California, and northern Baja California, Mexico.

- The Greer fire in east Arizona, close to the New Mexico state line, is very active and grows quickly with an obvious smoke plume. After sunset, the very end of the satellite loop switches to infrared, and a large black dot (heat signature) replaces the smoke plume.

Fascinating how a lot of solutions for fixing complex resource problems caused by the explosive growth of humanity frequently go back to the cradle of life; the ocean. Deep Sea Reverse Osmosis (DSRO) seems like a great solution for our water problems. Just watch the video, but in short it reduces the power consumption by 60% over land-based RO desalination plants, and avoids a lot of its complications. #science #tech #drought #water youtube.com/watch?v=Bu_IcFpEkg
