Must watch: Really excellent piece on the work of @mauri-pelto.bsky.social @jillpelto.bsky.social by Ben Tracy and @climatecentral.org for @cbssundaymorning.bsky.social

On India's #IndependenceDay, I'd like to bring your attention to its #watercrises
- #India has lost about 15,400 Tmcft of freshwater since 2002. Or 700 Tmcft/yr
-Losses from just seven States exceed 800 Tmcft/yr

Congrats to Sasha McLarty on the new study from her WSU team on declining groundwater levels in eastern Washington www.opb.org/article/2025...

'Like a creeping mold that's spreading across the landscape': Separate dry areas around the world are merging into 'mega-drying' regions at an alarming rate, study finds. Thx @saschapare.bsky.social and @livescience.com @hrishikeshac.bsky.social @science.org www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

Yesterday was the hottest August day in 120 years of record keeping in Phoenix🥵🥵🥵. Temps reached 118 degrees F at the Phoenix airport at 3:40 pm local time. BTW, the previous record of 117 was set just 2 years ago. @azcentral.com

Thanks @markgongloff.bsky.social and @opinion.bloomberg.com for this great piece and for your excellent question: why are we not treating this like the emergency that it is? @hrishikeshac.bsky.social @wisegrouporg.bsky.social

Groundwater (!!) is contributing more to sea level rise than melting in Greenland and Antartica

Great story out in @space.com from @terezapultarova.bsky.social on our continental drying paper @hrishikeshac.bsky.social @wisegrouporg.bsky.social www.space.com/science/clim...

From our new @science.org paper on unprecedented continental drying www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @hrishikeshac.bsky.social @wisegrouporg.bsky.social @propublica.org @abrahm.bsky.social

@hrishikeshac.bsky.social I am so fortunate to be able to work with you on some of the most urgent issues in climate change. Let's just hope that people are paying attention as we continue to raise awareness around rapidly changing water availability and continued sea level rise 🤞🤞🤞

Oh yeah, the paper...https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adx0298

Excellent feature story on yesterday's Science Advances article (led by @hrishikeshac.bsky.social and myself) from @propublica.org. Kudos to @abrahm.bsky.social and @lucaswaldron.bsky.social for expert story and graphics. @wisegrouporg.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/wate...

After a long absence from Twitter, I'm now on Bluesky. Looking forward to sharing thoughts, research, and rants about the lack of attention paid to water. Let's kick this off with a new paper alert. Please share widely. Title says it all. Please help me grow followers www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
