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!

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?

Happy Halloween! The autumn landscape is something

Happy Halloween! The autumn landscape is something we cannot get over!! If you want to savor this moment, try going old school and do some landscape painting by the river! There are many tutorials on how to capture the moment with a paintbrush, and Bob Ross does just that. Maybe even make it spooky for the season 👻 Check out this painting, Waterfall.

Hello everyone! We have partnered with @stmarysdiamonddash for a virtual 7.5k! CRBI has presented a challenge of paddling from Grizzard Park to Heritage Park between Thursday, October 22 until Thursday, October 29. You are welcome to paddle anyway you like, and in any given time period you like. Grab your kayaks, canoes, anything, and hop on the river! If you don’t have any gear, River Dog Paddle Co. offers stand-up paddleboard rentals and classes to learn how to use them! Register online at smsrome.org.

Good Morning! Did you know you can conserve your water by considering more than just how much water you use? Water is a part of everything! It is used to make gasoline, which is used to transport goods and people everywhere! While this is an amazing advancement, there are drawbacks...It pollutes the tiny amount of fresh water we have and makes it too expensive to reuse. Also, the way you eat can make a large impact on water use! Meat production and certain crops are extremely water-intensive, so cutting back on your intake will make a huge difference! Not to mention consumer goods in general. Water really is in everything, so think about what you need before you buy (this one might also help out your wallet :))!
