Beautifully clear picture of the east-west / lowland-upland split in Britain's current #waterscarcity

Water abstraction licences suspended to protect the sustainability of local environments as river and groundwater levels become critical in the east of Scotland. Read more about the current situation media.sepa.org.uk/media-releases…

Along with most of eastern Britain, eastern Scotland kept getting drier this week. Much of the Tweed catchment as well as mid & north Fife are now at significant #waterscarcity, with new restrictions on #groundwater & surface water abstraction in Fife. sepa.org.uk/media/594330/2…

New paper from UK Geoenergy Observatories colleagues - characterising baseline geo-environmental conditions at a new #minewater geothermal observatory in Glasgow. Including detailed #hydrogeology and #groundwater chemistry of the mined Carboniferous aquifer.

Timely paper this summer. Investigating #groundwater susceptibility to #drought in Ireland - statistical modelling of #waterlevel #monitoring data & relationship to hydrogeological & other geo-environmental drivers.

Hydrogeologists do all kinds of work all round the world in so many different environments. Here's a day in the GeoLife of Anggita in Indonesia. GirlsIntoGeoscience #hydrogeologist #hydrogeology

Latest Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) monitoring data shows effect of last week's heavy but short & localised rains - but all of east Scotland is still at moderate or significant water scarcity, and #groundwater needs much more rain & time to recover to normal levels. sepa.org.uk/media/594343/2…

We're still hiring! British Geological Survey is looking for hydrogeologists to work with us on #groundwater science projects; based at our Keyworth, Wallingford or Edinburgh offices. Find out more & apply: bgs.ac.uk/download/vacan… #hydrogeologist #jobopportunity

Latest Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) reports show large parts of eastern Scotland are at moderate or significant water scarcity because of the prolonged low rainfall. Most rivers are affected by low flows & most #groundwater levels low to very low & still falling. sepa.org.uk/media/594356/2…

I'd love to see this book be created! Any hydrogeologist knows how hard it is to get great photos to help people see & understand #groundwater - it's usually hidden away! But @waterscipol have so many good entries to their photo competition they're hoping to publish them all.

Hard to believe today in Edinburgh☔️ but many parts of Scotland still in prolonged dry conditions & long-term rainfall deficits mean #groundwater levels at most Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) #monitoring sites are low/very low, often the lowest since records began sepa.org.uk/environment/wa…

We're hiring! British Geological Survey is looking for a #hydrogeologist to join our team of #groundwater science researchers BGSGroundwater. Could you come work with us? Closing date 30 October. bgs.ac.uk/download/vacan…

I just finished reading @nature’s special issue content on racism in science. I found it powerful, depressing, uplifting, fascinating, and inspirational. In the hopes that I can tempt you to check out the wide content, here’s a quick🧵on all the content.nature.com/immersive/d428…

Thanks to everyone who's downloaded a #hydrogeology map from the #Africa #Groundwater Atlas this year! Over 1100 downloads in the last 4 months😊(sadly no all-year stats). Ethiopia & Kenya were most in demand, but almost every country map was requested. www2.bgs.ac.uk/africagroundwa…

The GWYN Scientific committee would like to request your input on regulations and groundwater monitoring in your respective countries to produce a report on global youth perspectives on regulations for groundwater monitoring. Form: lnkd.in/eAMmy8Xe Deadline: 16 Feb. 2023
