🚨 New paper in Nature @CommsEarth! 🔗shorturl.at/AwV8J We show how hybrid continental models (@SMHI E-HYPE + #AI) improve local streamflow predictions across Europe—boosting operational potential for services like @CopernicusEMS & #HydroSOS @WMO.

Attending the #Drought Resilience +10 Conference at #WMO (Geneva) next week? Join us in person or online for our side event: "Towards actionable information to foster #drought resilience - lessons from across scales" 🗓️Mon 30th Sept, 12.55 - 13.55, Press Room

Extreme weather and conflict are increasing the risk of #damfailures worldwide. Recent collapses in Sudan and Nigeria and the 1st anniversary of Derna Dam's collapse in Libya show the dangers dams are in. Read more by @waterpeacesec & IHE Delft experts: un-ihe.org/news/dams-incr…

Aan mijn NL volgers: Heb je een boot? Hebben #droogte of droogtemaatregelen impact op je bootgebruik? Blijf je bij je huidige jachthaven of vertrek je vanwege bruguitzettingen, sluisstremmingen of fonteinkruid? Doe mee aan ons @VU_IVM onderzoek: bit.ly/recreatie-enqu… RT = fijn!

Walking the headwaters of the l'arigéol river, one of the rivers studied in detail by @ihedelft students during multidisciplinary fieldwork in S-France, on this day to celebrate rivers and how important rivers are to us and to our planet #WalkingRivers cirefluvial.com/walkingrivers/

This is where it becomes real. Great day co-identifying climate adaptation strategies and feedbacks with multisectoral stakeholders to increase drought resilience @icisk_eu Living Lab in Los Pedroches, 🇪🇸 Excellent leadership by @geologicasUCM and @CREAF_ecologia. @ihedelft

Best for 2024! Good start? Submit abstract to @EuroGeosciences! Two great sessions - HS4.2 on drought and water scarcity edu.nl/79fud and all new HS4.9 on local knowledge in climate services edu.nl/afvrf Closes 10/1 @ 12 @ihedelft @icisk_eu @EGU_HS @NH_EGU

Excited after intense days in Cairo kicking off project led by LCWE Lebanon with partners from Egypt, Jordan, Nigeria, Ethiopia & Yemen. Will work from plot scale to basin scale on enhancing drought resilience. Traditional knowledge & innovative tools @DUPC_Programme @ihedelft

Water levels slowly rising but normal ferry terminal in Leticia on Col/Bra/Per border still closed. Amazon drought impacting environment & communities. Local entrepreneurs adapt by shuttling passengers in small boats to avoid 500m walk adding ~$2 to trip @icisk_eu @ihedelft

2023 is on track to be the warmest year on record. Globally, we've just had the warmest October on record... following the warmest June, July, August & September on record. The year so far is 1.43°C above pre-industrial levels.😧🌡️ 🔗climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-oct…

We were at Budapest's Fővám Square for #MobilityWeek in collaboration with Színes Erzsébetváros NGO in our Budapest Living Lab! Brainstormed urban designs with locals using Erzsébetváros maps & analyzed heat data from our summer campaign. Grateful for community insights!

Wow! What a day and what a phenomenal opportunity not only to be part of conversations about how we chart our path to meeting the goals set out in #SDG6 (hint - we have to accelerate by 6x! 😖) but to have been given the honour to be the Master of Ceremonies and to be in the room with so many Ministers and the UN President of the General Assembly. I have to confess it felt far away from the desert sands, forests and glaciers that have been my home for the last year, but the lessons learned and stories shared were more than present in the room - they were a critical reminder of the gravity and urgency of our water problem and the need to act. Now. Faster than ever. My key takeaways: 👉 The water situation around the world is worse than ever 😢 👉 We need to work 6x faster if we want to meet the targets set out in SDG6. To put this into context, when I first spoke at the UN about this, the number was 4x 😢😢 👉 This is the halfway mark of our march to 2030 when the SDGs need to be met 👉 We can’t shy away from this challenge on water, failure is not an option. 👉 We need game-changer processes and ideas. We’re not going to cross this chasm with small steps - we are going to need a giant leap. 👉 There is both a recognition of the problem and a willingness across governments, the UN and civil society (no companies there 😖) to act 👉 Water is everyone’s business - everyone needs to be at the table. That includes companies and marginalised communities. Ignoring them is (as one of our youth delegates said) like ‘fighting a forest fire with a bucket’ I’m not going to lie. It’s a daunting process. But so was finishing my hundredth marathon knowing I still had 100 to go. My lesson from then? Big goals need us to do hard things. And…we can do hard things. As Nelson Mandela said ‘it always seems impossible until it’s done’. Now. Let’s get this done. #MandelaDay #HLPF #SDGs

Very inspiring and nice days in Potsdam / Berlin with @VU_IVM colleagues for @IAHS_AISH Panta Rhei symposium and @DitA_network Drought workshop. Now in the train back contemplating the value of personal connections and spending social time together.
