It is published! Pharmaceuticals and household chemicals linger in our water. This poses risks to aquatic life and human health. Meet HydroFATE: a global model that can be used to prioritize monitoring and mitigation efforts. @Global_HydroLAB @GuentherGrill @jimnicell

HydroFATE (v1): a high-resolution contaminant fate model for the global river system

Abstract. Pharmaceuticals and household chemicals are neither fully consumed nor fully metabolized when routinely used by humans, thereby resulting in the emission of residues down household drains...

New first of its kind study reveals over 500 dams planned for development within protected areas, raising red flags for rivers that run through them. Critical need for leadership of government & private sector to prevent new dams in PAs. shorturl.at/jrzIZ

Only a third of world’s great rivers remain free flowing? “It’s worse”, says Carlos Garcia de Leaniz in this ⁦@guardianeco⁩ , “they hardly exist anymore in Europe”. Time for adaptive management of river barriers! #letitflow theguardian.com/environment/…
