Last month delegates from 170+ countries gathered for the first major @UN-convened water conference in 46 years. Sadly, there was minimal attention paid to agriculture & the food system, the largest user & polluter of water.

The disconnect between voters’ understanding of where their water comes from and where it’s going, particularly around ag in the West, feels like a road block building public support for the kinds of major changes the region will have to make.
Amid the worsening Colorado River water crisis, people in the West tend to have a very warped perception of where most of the water goes, per @ColoradoCollege's annual State of the Rockies poll. (80% is used by agriculture.)

This is a really important issue that needs more traction. These wetlands are super key for birds on the Klamath. There needs to be more optimization work around how to bring together fish, people, fowl and farms in this important waterscape. @RyanSabalow

London-based water expert & author @G_Boccaletti opines on the Great Lakes writ large, diverting water from them and the Public Trust Doctrine. On diversions: "What looks sensible on an engineering plan, rarely survives economic and political evaluation." greatlakesnow.org/2023/01/bo…

The #SWOTmission will provide the very first comprehensive view of Earth's freshwater bodies from space.
Hydrologists will use the data to calculate the rate of water gained or lost in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and wetlands. 📉🌎

A 2020 @naturesustainab study found that, "in addition to dominating water consumption, cattle-feed crop irrigation in the West imposes the greatest depletion on rivers during summer low flows and times of drought."
