"White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said federal workforce reductions will ensure disaster responses are not bogged down by bureaucracy and bloat."
And thanks to #APNews we get a complete explanation of how and why that is complete bullshit, sourced from experts and not an ignorant shill.
AP is a nonprofit and a thin line dividing us from becoming herded cattle. Read the story, then find the donate button and do so if at all possible.
practical #engineering about the over time deminishing capacity of water #resavoirs and risks to #dams https://youtu.be/XiUOBdEUqjY #water #wildfires
The operators of electric grids in #NY & #NewEngland say they are still unsure whether the #tariffs apply to #electricity imports from #Canada, but they have filed plans w/ federal regulators to collect duties if they are ordered to do so. The 2 regions receive large amounts of #power from #hydroelectric #dams in Ontario & Quebec, & any tariffs would likely cause electricity bills to go up for households & businesses.
Czechia's €1m dam built for free by beavers: Here's where else they're doing good work.
A family of beavers made global headlines earlier this year when they built a dam exactly where authorities had been planning one in Czechia, saving taxpayers around €1.2 million.
Beavers are working wonders across Europe. Is the UK finally realising their potential?

The #ColoradoRiver is shrinking due to #ClimateChange, which means the nation's 2 largest #reservoirs, #LakeMead & #LakePowell, created by #dams, have reached record low levels in recent years amid a #megadrought spanning >2 decades. If #water levels fall much lower, they could lose the ability to generate #hydropower within the massive dams that hold them back, or even lose the ability to pass water downstream.
"What $500M dam removal project on Klamath River teaches about ecological restoration"
https://interestingengineering.com/culture/klamath-river-dam-demolition-project
"Every 50 years, owners of hydroelectric dams must reevaluate compliance with these laws, considering measures like fish passages and water quality improvements. If meeting these mandates costs more than a dam’s revenue potential, demolition becomes a viable and sometimes inevitable option."
With #Sierra snow pack at less than half of normal levels, #California Department of Water Resources announced that municipal #water agencies will receive just 20% of requested #H2O supplies, but that total is upped from 15% back on Dec. 23 rd.
Ironically Pouting #Prez #DJT's uninformed but forcefully ordered release by #NationalGuard to open #dams and release millions of gallons of water to supposedly fight the #LAfires
has further damaged state's stored agricultural supplies, and simultaneously harms survival chances of threatened aquatic life.

Acting on #Trump's order, Federal Officials Opened Up Two #California #Dams
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers abruptly increased the amount of water flowing from two California dams.
Local water managers, who were caught off-guard by the decision, said they convinced Army Corps officials to release less water than originally planned.
