Title: The ground is wet!!!
Post by: Bricktop on May 01, 2019, 06:20:16 PM
It rained yesterday for the first time in 7 months.



In some places, much, much longer than that.



This 18 month old toddler had never seen rain in his life.

More is expected, and much more is needed.

It's hard to express how relieved we are when the rain finally comes. 6 months of little to no rain is not unusual, but with record heat and NO rain for 7 months we get a little perturbed.



We still need lots more...but apparently we're getting hosed this evening. I assume Caskur has already received their allocation.

Alice is not a capital city, though.



But yes, it's like living on sandpaper under a heat lamp up there.



Darwin never drops below 30C all year round.

1990's stats were Perth Adelaide and Hobart were the driest Capital cities but it has worsened since then. Canberra is now just as dry apparently.

We had a nice drop in January then virtually nothing until Easter..





Average up to Easter is 93 mm and we'd 13 mm





Easter pushed us up to 52.6....



Now we should have had 200 mm... and we are still sitting at 52.5 so being nearly 150 mm down, you here would be only one who understands the ramifications of that. .

Two main problems in various parts of Asia....





1. they overfished





2. they use the ocean as a dump





3. a newer one, the Japanese Nuclear power station meltdown

Be careful of what?



Do you think this is uncommon? It's not. It's standard.... It's dangerous to wildlife... and fish. The most important thing on land is trees, the most important thing in the ocean are little fish.





They need to clean up their shit. It's atrocious.
Title: Re: The ground is wet!!!
Post by: caskur on May 02, 2019, 02:42:00 PM
India, China...



We don't have these problems... No one should have these problems.



1. Ganges River

The Ganges River, the most sacred river in Hinduism and the third largest river (by discharge) in the world, holds water that can purportedly cleanse people of sin. Many Hindus think the river's water is so healthful they actually drink it as if it were an elixir. Be that as it may, the importance of the river cannot be overestimated, as it affects the lives of 400 million people who live near it. Unfortunately, people dump their waste into the Ganges as they use it for drinking, bathing and cooking, giving rise to many water-borne illnesses. In fact, people who can't afford cremation throw corpses into the river. It's hard to imagine a filthier river than the beloved Ganges.

Nevertheless, attempts are being made to clean up the Ganges River. The Ganga Action Plan, began in 1985 and considered one of the greatest efforts to clean up a polluted river in the world, has been an abject failure because it's vastly underfunded. Still, this is a start, and everyone should hope the Ganges River runs clean again.





2. Yellow River

The condition of the Yellow River, whose water is filled with a yellow sediment known as loess, hence its name, is essential to the well-being of China, though at times the river has flooded, killing millions of people. These days, the river is troublesome in another way: The water in it is so egregiously polluted that it's unfit even for agricultural use. In fact, in any given year, more than four billion tons of sewage is dumped into the river. And, as China continues to industrialize at breakneck speed, the Yellow River has become a toxic waste dump, turning river water colors other than yellow, at the very least.

But there are environment activists in China who would like to clean up the Yellow River. Green Camel Bell, established in 2004, is dedicated to the improvement of declining ecosystems in western China. This group, however, will do little more than educate people. The Chinese government must stop cities and industries from dumping waste into the river, then perhaps the color of the Yellow River will return to its former color.



This is the world outside of Australia...
