In the US State of Arizona, it is not unusual to see rivers that have dried up. Some only flow in specific sections or at certain times of the year. They are known as intermittent rivers. At the CNRS iGlobes laboratory, located within the University of Arizona, researchers study these precarious rivers in the city of Tucson, and in the watershed of Las Cienegas.

Every home and business needs to install a rain water collection system and solar panels.
We waste too much water and electricity.
Climate Change is making weather events more extreme. This will impact the worlds food supply.
Floods, droughts, fires, excessive heat, snow storms and low water levels in reservoirs and in ground water storage are becoming more common. We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire.
India, China, Brazil, Japan, US, Europe, Indonesia, Canada, Germany and Australia need to do more to reduce use of fossil fuels. They must stop building and financing more coal fossil fuels power plants.
Time to go all in on wind and solar energy, battery storage and electric vehicles.
Fossil fuels are a bad investment for people and the planet.
Investors are divesting from fossil fuels. wind and solar energy investing is growing.
The cost of dealing with the impact of climate change will be greater than the cost of reducing the impact.
The world population is expected to grow by another billion people. Where will the food come from ?
Great work!
