Can ' #WaterBatteries' help farmers tackle #drought?
Kirk England, 21 October 2025
" #Rainwater used to surge through Will Luke's dairy farm whenever there was a downpour.
"He used to watch it flow away but concerns over 'drier and drier' summers led him to build a storage pond allowing him to put that water to use - particularly for livestock.
" 'Once it leaves the farm, it's no good to me. If we capture the water we can get more use out of it. We're much more resilient,' said Mr Luke, whose farm is near Plymouth, Devon.
"The Westcountry Rivers Trust said #ponds and #wetlands were insurance for 'times of need' including droughts, and it was now leading a €8m (£6.95m) project on how the so-called 'water batteries' could be used to create a 'smart water grid' across Europe."

🌍 Climate crisis in Africa exposes real cause of hunger – colonial food systems that leave people more vulnerable
A global food crisis has led some to question why previous solutions have not worked. We also now have an emerging, more decolonial science of agroecology that is increasingly accepted within the United Nations system. It’s backed by a powerful social movement that refused to back down when corporate agricultural interests tried to hijack the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit.

AI uses shittons of energy, bringing back coal and fueling fracking.
Fossil fuels increase earth's surface temperatures.
AI uses shittons of water to cool their data centers, causing droughts and ecocide.
Increased heat means data centers need even more water.
AI is Mars-forming Terra.

The approval of data centers in Australia without requiring measurable plans to cut water use is raising concerns the sector's rapid growth will leave residents competing for the resource. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/16/tech/australia-data-center-water/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #amazon #microsoft #blackstone #airtrunk #australia #water #drought #tech
