"Despite the Earth-wobbling impact of our over-extraction, I have hope. The list of tools at our disposal and the will for change is growing. Let’s not let this warning sign go to waste." My thoughts on groundwater solutions in @nytimes: https://t.co/wPAljdfev2

EDF Action commends the tireless efforts of local residents and farmers including the Cochise Groundwater Stewards, whose leadership drove forward historic groundwater protections in the Willcox groundwater basin. EDF Action also applauds @azwater Director Tom Buschatzke &

Important @latimes piece from Ann Hayden on California's potentially transformative journey to groundwater sustainability and the opportunities for repurposed farmland to benefit people and ecosystems alike. https://t.co/dWT59086gK

Tracking evapotranspiration is vital - it affects #water availability, irrigation needs, and supply predictions. OpenET, developed by @NASA, @EnvDefenseFund, and others, is a groundbreaking tool that uses satellite data to measure evapotranspiration.

"To be effective, irrigation efficiency needs to be deployed thoughtfully, in combination with other important tools, in the context of a whole local water balance." My colleague, Ann Hayden, with some clear-eyed reflections on thinking beyond efficiency: https://t.co/cXBZ7SHpwA

Great to hear @EnvDefenseFund's José Rodriguez-Flores speak on multibenefit land repurposing at @WaterEdFdn's Sustainable Groundwater in Ag Conference. Repurposing can boost community health, economic well-being, water supply, flood control & more: https://t.co/Hn9TgEsbjW

For the first time ever, hundreds of OpenET users gathered to share how they are using the new platform. One major takeaway? OpenET is quietly transforming how we manage farms, river basins, & even forests! More from EDF's Rachel O'Connor:

Great to see this look at the wider ramifications of increased water scarcity on irrigated agriculture. This is not a problem limited to Texas. The broader American West, and much of the world, has to come to grips with a future with less fresh water:

New Mexico rivers top @AmericanRivers list of #MostEndangeredRivers of 2024. Gov Lujan deserves support for prioritizing clean water protection. We need to ensure NM has a comprehensive surface water permitting program+stronger groundwater protections. https://t.co/44ocj5nviA

Good things happen when we come together to fund #cowater Proposed ballot measure directs more money to water projects https://t.co/a0qG5Lc4Tt via @DailySentinelGJ #waterwins #copolitics

New handle I'd recommend: @EDFActionAZ They've been providing some great insight into community voices seeking action to ensure community well-being during an era of profound change in Arizona and across the Southwest.

Living with polluted drinking water, Rosa didn't wait for change—she became it. Read an interview with the Water Leadership Institute alum on her journey to securing clean, reliable water for her community. More on Rosa and the Institute here:

"It also points to the potential for aquifers to rebound and continue to provide this important water supply buffer." EDF's Ann Hayden on how the analysis of the global groundwater crisis underlines the impact of locally-responsive groundwater mgmt:

Phenomenal energy at #WaterintheDesert Conference in Alpine, TX! Lawmakers, water experts, & community leaders tackled West TX water challenges & discussed innovations. Congrats to the EDF TX team & more for a successful event! 🌊👏💧

Community-driven groundwater approaches could shift the water crises in both the Colorado and Yellow River basins. EDF's Brian Jackson gives insights from his time in China and how these two titanic rivers can spearhead innovative water mgmt. 🌊🌏

#IRA is a meaningful investment in #ClimateSolutions for our future. Today, we gathered with @SenMarkKelly, @MayorGallego, @AZForward, @kore_power, @4AmericanSolar and @valleymetro to celebrate an historic first year of manufacturing and job creation in #AZ 🧵

Oregon’s legislative session saw some big water wins: $110 M investment plus advancements in securing access to cold, clean water for healthy communities, livelihoods, and ecosystems. Read more here: https://t.co/LJltVoXtc8. #cleanwater #Oregonwater

“We’re in the midst of this hydrologic whiplash with all signs pointed to extended droughts...We need to be doing everything we can to prepare for this.” @EnvDefenseFund's Ann Hayden on the need to make the most of federal $$ to adapt to an era of drought https://t.co/zSmJ5329mM

It is important for the public to be aware and informed about water supply conditions, like those described in a new groundwater analysis in the Phoenix area released by @Katiehobbs @azwater. We dive into what this means for #AZ and where we go from here. https://t.co/qWbBc9SMHm

March was MADNESS and the most profitable month ever for #COWater Sports betting taxes raised $3.1 million in March 🏀🏀🏀 and takes our fiscal year tally to $20.3 million dollars with three more months to go. 💧🥤🫧🛶👩‍🌾🌱⛲️🐟💧 #WaterWins
