The Ashokan Resevoir today. #HudsonValley #DroughtWatch

1 month into monsoon season, most rain has missed the Colorado River Basin. Despite some relief in AZ & CO, the forecast remains dry—bad news for already strained reservoirs. #ColoradoRiver #DroughtWatch #Monsoon2025

New Mexico Nomad Lifestyle : Acequias The oldest acequias in the U.S. are more than 400 years old, built to provide water for farming and ranching in areas occupied by Spain.

First flood irrigation yesterday. Nice to see the acequias running. Speeds up the spring process, with green sprouts overnight. The water absorbed quickly due to lack of ground moisture. Not sure if we will have irrigation beyond spring.
