Bow River Basin Council

I found this video at the Bow River Basin Council website. It was produced by the Western Irrigation District and is the first of a number of episodes. This is the only video I have viewed so far, but I will watch a few more and report back. I had been reading a few presentations and skimming some papers by the BRBC and was about to post a link to a much more boring presentation when I found this much more exciting video. The video is actually pretty well made and packs a fair amount of info (for example, 80% of the Bow River Flow, not that Bow River Flow, is from snow melt).

There are a few copies of the video on YouTube, the one I was watching has 2 view! I think both are from me! Episode 9 and 10, which have been up for a month have zero. Maybe some time tomorrow I will be first and hopefully not the last. And maybe sometime this summer I will make it out to the head of the Bow, it looked pretty awesome in the video!

Bloggin' is easy

 
So, as I might have suspected, this is fairly easy. Just to test things out, and to link to some rad tunes (I can't post music bars directly, I can post youtube videos but not music only that I have found yet). Linked are a few new Burial tracks with Thom Yorke and Four Tet.

As well, I have a few hydroG things to share. Mostly I deal with water issues in Alberta, and I suspect most of my posts will deal with things going on around me in Alberta. Today, however, I have a very dated story from the  BBC (2004 to be exact), about some of the major water issues the world is dealing with. It might be interesting to see how many more stories would be included in a similar article written today, but I am fairly certain these specific issues have not gone away. Not all of the articles are related to groundwater, but most surface water issues concern groundwater and visa versa. Anyway, an interesting read that will likely end up being one of the links located in the WaterFall on the side.

What is Rock Soup?

Rock Soup will be my introduction to blogging, something I have never done before and right now seems a little confusing still. I hope this blog to be based on Hydrogeology related items and as such have names it Rock Soup. The name Rock Soup comes from the geology T-shirt with the image of a piece of cake looking like a cross section. If geology as a food is best represented by cake, maybe Hydrogeology can be represented by a bowl of soup. This image I have not yet come up with but for now I will leave with the picture of geology cake and a note that I do not yet know what Rock Soup is but hope to find out:
