New Bills Seek to Rein In Oil Companies’ Pollution of Oklahoma Groundwater
---

The legislation comes after The Frontier and ProPublica found over 150 incidents where oilfield wastewater had gushed from the earth, releasing toxic chemicals — including some that cause cancer — near homes and farms and into drinking water sources.

Awesome, Ardingly reservoir looks fully refreshed finally.

Wonder if the drought order will be lifted before June.

Chart showing reservoir levels for the local Ardingly and Arlington reservoirs. A big dip over winter, particularly for Ardingly, seems to have recovered with recent rains, with Ardingly back to 100% last week.

A new study provides more evidence that most of Earth's #water came with the original matter that formed the planet, not with later bombardment by meteorites and comets.

With humans depleting freshwater systems to the point they can’t recover, a new era has begun of "global water bankruptcy,” according to a United Nations report. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/01/23/sustainability/global-water-bankruptcy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #sustainability #water #un #climatechange

Some of my erstwhile academic colleagues have been warning for decades that the major driver of global upheaval would eventually be the issue of access to (clean) water;

and it now seems that their predictions were right; water-related violence is on the rise across the world;

water insecurity is growing & given water's vital role in life, we cannot be surprised that people are fighting to gain/retain access.

At some moments I got lucky. Moments like this are extremely rare in the Netherlands. But when the circumstances are right and you're at the right moment on the spot, you can find these unique sceneries Often the sun will melt the rime within an hour or so. Therefore, I took this image just after sunrise. Cold outside, but warm on the inside with this picture. 😊
