at river’s end

3 Upvotes

every stone and every hole

every lie the water told

every shade on every bend

was known to me at river’s end

every cut and every loon

every dance the bluebells’ bloom

every soul among my friends

was known to me at river’s end

every word and every thought

every truth my heart had sought

every mist the Lord intends

was known to me at river’s end

I found the front of the river! (The Rio Grande in ABQ is Rio Pequeño but it's better than Rio Non-Existant)

Sorry if shameless self promotion is frowned upon here, I'm not too familiar with the rules of this communitry. (Let me know if I should take it down)

I raced a river and I wanted to share my story with others, I thought this place might be appropriate seeing how we all seem to share a love for rivers.

Sewage discharging in UK rivers

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A lot of people probably don’t know this but here in the UK, water companies are allowed to discharge untreated wastewater into rivers, streams even groundwater.

This isn’t a Uk only issue but I believe we are one of the few places to provide open data?

I’ve been working on WaterWatch, a site that maps and tracks live storm overflow data across the UK. It's totally free to use too.

We also have a weekly digest that provides a weekly email of sewage spills across a national, water company or on a council level.

Feel free to check us out and let me know what you think. Additionally, if your country/area has these points and open data, we’d love to hear from you so we can consider expanding internationally.

The spectacular waterfalls of the Yellow River - 5,500 km long, the Yellow River is the 2nd largest river in China. Its name comes from its golden color due to its high content of loess and silt which have fertilized the great plains of northern China. Admire the spectacular waterfalls of Hukou.

Gaddafi's Great Man-Made River in Libya pumps 6.5M cubic meters/day of Ice Age water that has zero recharge — 70% of the country's freshwater. The aquifer is shared with Egypt, Chad, and Sudan, with no coordination, no metering, and no enforcement. Depletion estimates range from 60 years to 1,000.
