The researchers were surprised to find that the loss of #water on the continents has grown so dramatically that it has become one of the largest causes of global #SeaLevel rise.
Moisture lost to evaporation and drought, plus runoff from pumped groundwater, now outpaces the melting of glaciers and the ice sheets of either Antarctica or Greenland as the largest contributor of water to the oceans.

Just an hour away from crowded Kyoto, the only thing bustling about the village of Harie is how many fish are swimming through its pristine streams. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/07/26/travel/harie-village-of-water-kyoto-travel/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #travel #travel #kyoto #water
They do this super fun activity in my town where they gather up as many #canoe and #kayak paddlers as possible into the world's tallest #liftlock. Its a very simple concept, but also a lot of fun to watch; hundreds of people packed like sardines into a #water elevator for boats having a little party together.
I hate posting things that identify exactly where I live but in the era of Rainbolt I suppose that ship has sailed.
