Join us for a Virtual Capitol Conservation Day to get the information you need to make a difference for cleaner, more plentiful water in Georgia. We will virtually come together on March 3 using Zoom.

Experts from the Georgia Water Coalition will brief you on important legislative issues. Then you will put your new skills and information to work! Following the event, meet with your local legislators virtually to advocate in support of important legislation.

Register early so that GWC can match you with fellow constituents and assist in scheduling a group virtual meeting with your local legislator.

Learn more at https://www.gawater.org/capitol-conservation-day-details

Please consider sponsoring Capitol Conservation Day for $150 or donate any dollar amount to the GWC to support our ongoing efforts to protect Georgia’s essential surface water and groundwater resources.
Sponsors will be recognized during the event.

Happy Meandering Monday! Today’s feature is the

Happy Meandering Monday! Today’s feature is the beautiful Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the Western side of Africa. The Congo River, also known as the Zaire River is the second-longest river in Africa, behind the Nile, of course. It is also the world’s second-largest river by volume, behind the Amazon! It does come first in something though; it is the deepest recorded river in the world with some areas reaching depths of 720 ft (220 m)! We hope everyone has a record-breaking week!

Featured this lovely Meandering Monday is the Fenh

Featured this lovely Meandering Monday is the Fenhe River, called “the Mother River” by locals, in North China's Shanxi province. This river is the second largest tributary to the Yellow River with a length of 445 mi (716 km). Due to the agricultural and industrial nature of the communities surrounding the river, its water quality has greatly deteriorated over the decades. However, over the past year, significant efforts have been put into cleaning the river and limiting pollutants and the quality of the river has greatly increased!

Make sure to enjoy the bountiful rivers and lakes

Make sure to enjoy the bountiful rivers and lakes we have!! There are 17 countries in the world that have no rivers, one of them includes Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is over 3 times the size of Texas and gets the majority of its water from desalination. 📸: Joshua Silver

It’s that time of the week again! #MeanderingMon

It’s that time of the week again! #MeanderingMonday Today’s feature is the Fish River in southern Namibia. This river formed the Fish River Canyon, the 2nd largest canyon in the world behind the Grand Canyon in the state of Arizona. This river has spent approximately 650 million years tearing into the Great Namaqualand plateau after tectonic movement lowered the land for the river to flow. The landscape has changed drastically over time, going through periods of glaciation. Currently, the canyon experiences a hot and humid climate, sometimes so hot, much of the water evaporates limiting the flow throughout the canyon. Pretty cool stuff right here! There is beauty (and science 🔬) everywhere!

Happy Saturday! Trees are absolutely stunning in every shape and size. 😍😍😍 I bet you guys can guess what makes them grow so big and tall! Hint: It’s what we stand for….

For the month of November, we will be giving thanks each thursday in honor of thanksgiving! Feel free to participate using #CRBIthanks and post what you’re grateful for. This week we want to say thank you to the @NationalParkService and the @u.s.forestservice for preserving the natural resources all across the country! We support everything you guys do! Thanks to these agencies, over 150,000 miles of rivers and streams and over 4 million acres of water bodies like lakes, reservoirs, and oceans are protected by national park and national forest boundaries.

“The act of fishing – for fish, dreams or whatever magic is available – is enough. It transports us to a special world, and a state of mind, where we are free.“

We hope everyone had an opportunity to vote today (or in early voting)! Have a great night and stay safe!

Hey there! Welcome back to Meandering Monday! This

Hey there! Welcome back to Meandering Monday! This week’s river is the Smith River in central Montana. The Smith River is a tributary to the Missouri River, which is the longest river in North America! In this picture, you can really see the dynamics of a meandering river. The point bar (area of deposition) can be seen on the opposite side of the river, and the cut bank (area of erosion) is closest to where the photo was taken. Also, since the river flow is low, you can get an idea of the cross-sectional shape of the river bed. The science behind rivers never ceases to amaze us! What is your favorite thing to learn about rivers?
