Lakes Buchanan and Travis are designed to fill during major weather events, and another reason why staying flood-ready is crucial in Flash Flood Alley. Our thoughts remain with those affected by this devastating flood.

Why did I just have to pay a $10 "drought fee" on my water bill?

As dry as some areas in the United States are because lack of rainfall can this not be scooped out via helicopter with water baskets and used somewhere other than downriver flooding.

🚨LOOK. AT. THIS. BIBLICAL FLOODING IN TEXAS - THEY JUST OPENED BUCHANAN DAM AND UNLEASHED HELL Four floodgates. Wide open for the first time in 6 years. Not a flow, a roar. Water swallowing land, homes, yards, streets. Locals say they’ve never seen anything like it. This isn’t rain. This is judgment.

Today, we came across religious people in Puerto Rico praying in front of a dam that has not seen a significant increase in water levels in weeks. The desperation among Puerto Ricans is visible as at least 170,000 households that rely on this dam for their water supply are facing 48-hour water rationing.

This is the moment four men were rescued from boat at it teetered precariously on the edge of a 130ft drop off the side of a dam. National Sea Rescue Institute (NRSI) crews were dispatched to the Grootdraai Dam in Mpumalanga, South Africa, on Monday (29 December) after the boat suffered motor failure and drifted toward the edge of the spillway as millions of gallons of water thundered over the side of the dam wall.

Enjoy a few tranquil moments from a large beaver dam in Spring 2023. One of the highlights is a wolf standing on the dam watching an eagle swoop down trying to catch a duck...pretty neat! The footage, except the opening sequence, is chronological and shows how melting snow and run-off caused this dam to blow and the pond to drain, despite the beavers’ best efforts. By early summer, beavers had clearly abandoned this pond, most of the water had drained, and the pond was a fertile meadow with lush green grass growing in it. And we would have had more footage to include in this compilation but a few black bears had other plans for our camera...

🚨#BREAKING: Emergency officials are on high alert as a Minnesota dam is in imminent danger of critical failure 📌#Rapidan | #Minnesota Currently, emergency officials and dam operators in Rapidan, Minnesota, are on high alert following recent heavy flooding of the Blue Earth River. The Rapidan Dam is at imminent risk of failure due to accumulating debris that has compromised its structure and eroded the surrounding earth. Officials say that everyone deemed to be in danger has already been notified, and many have evacuated. The dam, built between 1908 and 1910 for hydroelectric purposes, has not yet failed, but there are growing concerns that it may collapse at some point today. This situation is still developing.

This is the moment when the civilian convoy from #Kobani was attacked. People were trying to reach Tishreen Dam to demand an end to the Turkish attacks on the dam, as it is the main source of water and electricity for the people of the region. As a result of this drone attack several people were reportedly killed and injured. Video 2 is aftermath showing the deep hole on the road #Manbij #Syria

Chronology of Gujarat floods ! -Madhya Pradesh's Indirasagar Dam released 9.45 lakh cusecs of water into Narmada, days before PM's birthday so that the Narmada Dam reservoir reaches maximum water levels before PM's birthday on September 17. -On the day of PM's birthday, as part of the celebration, all the floodgates of the dam are thrown wide open to release water. -Mindlessly, 18 lakh cusecs of water gets released at one go. -As a result, Bharuch, Vadodara and Narmada districts of Gujarat gets flooded. -As you can see in the video, flood water enters homes and residential societies. -Thousands of people are left helpless, houses destroyed and some forced to take shelter on the roof of the houses as water submerged their homes. -Meanwhile, people from Saurashtra, North Gujarat and Kutch had been demanding water for a month now but it was not being released. It was kept on hold for the PM's birthday. -The water could easily have been released in a phased to these regions few days prior as a red alert was already issued and there was going to be more water in the dam. But does that count for a birthday celebration? No right? -They waited for the PM's birthday to release the water. Hence, this is not a natural flood but a man-made disaster to celebrate the "Messiah". Absolutely shameful and disgusting state of affairs! #organisedfloods #GujaratRains
