The Colorado River is running dry, but it's not just drought. Over HALF the water we take from it goes to grow hay for livestock. Cities only use 12% while cattle feed gets 50%+ 🐄 #WaterCrisis #ColoradoRiver www.epa.gov/waterdata/ab... 🧵2/11

Want the data on that? Here's 60 years of inflow to Mundaring 'Weir' (actually a 41 m high dam), which used to be Perth's main water supply. Its yield is now so degraded that Perth gets most of its water by desalinating seawater.

The Geoconnex Advantage: Making Water Data Sharing Smarter and Simpler
Water data sharing requires time and specialized knowledge. To make it easier, the IoW is developing Geoconnex, a data commons for the water community.

...And 16.2 m is about a 1:25 flood on this crude BOM automated flood frequency analysis (via www.bom.gov.au/waterdata/). So substantial, but hardly extreme.

Why is none of this ever reported? Too hard for non-specialists, and specialists are not interested, or too scared of being criticised/wrong?

Connecting #WaterData across a fragmented data landscape takes collaboration, problem-solving, and a dedicated team — and ours is growing!

The Explorer is the first public data discovery tool built on this reference system and it’s just the start. We’re entering a new era of connected, place-based #WaterData. We can’t wait to see how it supports new tools, insights, and actions for water resilience.

Congrats to the IoW team!

Good equipment should be built to last.

The Ranger is a piece of water data measurement kit designed to be with you for the long-haul -
and when parts eventually do wear out,
they are easily replaced instead of sending the whole unit to the dump.
