I am a mom and scientist begging everyone to look closer at the muck.

We’ve been conditioned to see wetlands as wastelands. But three decades of research, I see a fiercely defiant wilderness. The boreal mire is a dynamic carbon-trapping vault that in some places has outlasted ice ages. 1/

Science and technology are vital inputs to flood management, and investments in them are much to community benefit. To be genuinely effective they need to be trusted and heeded by individuals in flood-liable communities. #auspol #floodmanagement
Flood management: Science, technology and people’s responses
To reduce the risks posed by floods requires both scientific input and appropriate community reaction. It is not always clear that both are in evidence.

The Lehi levee project is inching closer to construction with over $13 million in funding secured, but a $2 million shortfall still looms—what's next for this vital upgrade?

Carver’s Lehi levee overhaul moves to bid with $13.325M in grants; $2.175M shortfall remains
City staff said the Lehi/ Spring Creek levee project has $13.325 million in external grants toward a $15.5 million cost estimate, with bids structured to allow phased work if a pending $2.0 million federal appropriation does not materialize; the upgrade includes flood walls, stop‑logs for road crossings and long certification timelines.

Like Texas, Colorado and the Appalachians in America, Australia has many environments in which warning times as floods develop are inevitably short, death tolls in these areas are not difficult to foresee. #auspol #floodmanagement
The Texas flood, Australia and the psychology of evacuation
The Texas flood on the weekend of 4 July has produced a shocking toll – probably well over 200 people dead, including many children.

Parish hires Delta Coast for storm assessment; ex-president urges strict pump-permit adherence during lengthy drainage debate
The Public Services committee ratified a contract with Delta Coast Consultants for tropical storm damage assessment and then spent significant time debating drainage permits, pump settings and a proposed $196,000 engineering study. Former parish president Gordy Dove recommended following older Corps permit datum (Opus 2018) and warned changing permits could increase mitigation costs.
