Let's stop pretending digging more canals, adding more pumps and blasting out giant holes is about "Everglades restoration." It's all about being able to water the 10 million more people you want to stuff in South Florida aka New New York.

🚜 We’re rockin’ and rollin’ with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. ✒️ The Corps approved the package to build the EAA Reservoir’s Seepage Management Pump Station under the new first-of-a-kind agreement to expedite Everglades restoration in South Florida. 🗓️ By the end of the year, we will be building this new pump station for the EAA Reservoir. 💧 The EAA Reservoir is the “crown jewel” of Everglades restoration and is designed to send more clean water south, restore ecosystems, and significantly reduce harmful discharges to the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries.

As rain continues to fall over South Florida, the Caloosahatchee (C-43) Reservoir is operating. Everglades investments = An improved quality of life in South Florida. We continue to restore the Florida of today for tomorrow.

Demand Raised in Rajya Sabha to Restore Khadakwasla Dam’s Storage Capacity for Pune’s Water Security! The Khadakwasla Dam, which is crucial for the water supply of Pune city and its surrounding areas, has lost more than half of its original storage capacity due to heavy silt accumulation. While the dam originally had a storage capacity of approximately 3.75 TMC, the extensive accumulation of silt has reduced its current storage capacity to nearly 1.75 TMC. Considering Pune’s growing population, rapid urbanisation and increasing water requirements in the future, this decline in storage capacity is a serious concern for the city’s long-term water security. The impact could be particularly significant during periods of low rainfall. Therefore, I raised the demand in the House that the Central Government should issue necessary directions to restore the storage capacity of the Khadakwasla reservoir, by considering measures such as scientific desilting, watershed restoration, effective silt management, and modernisation of the reservoir.

🚨 JUST IN: The Pacific Palisades reservoir was EMPTY AND OFFLINE when the firestorm exploded, per LA Times This is CRIMINAL. The reservoir holds 117 million gallons of water, and would’ve given firefighters ample pressure to effectively fight the blaze. Overpaid Dept. of Water and Power officials have now been forced to admit the reservoir being offline likely contributed to dry fire hydrants and low water pressure. DEI did this.

The Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam has entered the crucial Southwest Monsoon season of 2026 with one of its poorest water positions in recent years, raising concerns over the sluggish progress of rainfall in the Cauvery catchment areas of Kodagu. According to official data from Cauvery Neeravari Nigama Limited (CNNL) on June 28, 2026, the reservoir held 11.233 tmcft (thousand million cubic feet) of water at a level of 81 feet against its full reservoir level of 124.80 feet. The inflow stood at just 530 cusecs. Of the total storage, the live storage is only 2.809 tmcft, while 8.424 tmcft accounts for dead storage and silt. A comparison with data recorded on the same date over the past two decades shows that the present storage is among the lowest for the end of June and is dramatically lower than last year, when the reservoir had almost reached its full capacity. On June 28, 2025, the reservoir stood at 123.25 feet with 47.311 tmcft of water and was receiving a massive inflow of 73,811 cusecs following heavy monsoon rains in Kodagu. Notably, the cumulative inflow in the last 20 years is the lowest in 2026 (from June 1 to June 28) with 1.37 tmcft. At the same time, the cumulative inflow in the last 20 years was the highest in 2025, with 38.4 tmcft. The inflow trend also presents a worrying picture. At 530 cusecs, the present inflow is the lowest recorded among the 20 years listed, even lower than 547 cusecs in 2009 and 655 cusecs in 2019. By comparison, the reservoir received 13,437 cusecs in 2024, 36,510 cusecs in 2015, 23,867 cusecs in 2013, 11,483 cusecs in 2011 and a staggering 73,811 cusecs last year. Apart from weak monsoon rainfall and poor inflows, another major concern for the KRS Dam is the steady increase in silt accumulation, which has significantly reduced the reservoir's effective storage capacity. The estimated silt deposit and dead storage level at the reservoir remained unchanged at 4.401 tmcft between 2016 and 2023. However, it rose sharply to 8.179 tmcft (silt and dead storage level) in 2024, increased further to 8.379 tmcft in 2025 and has now reached 8.424 tmcft (silt and dead storage level) in 2026.

A picture, or in this case, a video speaks a million words. American Flamingos are literally thriving again in the Everglades! Do you know how remarkable that is? Without getting into the chaotic journey of flamingos in Florida, let’s just say it’s as close to a miracle as anything. But it’s also a testament to the combined efforts of the State of Florida and the federal government, spearheaded by Ron DeSantis Yesterday, he spoke about it while visiting the Everglades and said this: “We are now on track to finish this transformative project five years ahead of the original schedule. This is a major victory for America’s Everglades and a testament to the progress our joint federal and state teams have made in just nine months.” — Gov. DeSantis regarding the joint efforts of the State of Florida and the federal government to restore the Everglades. Leadership shows itself in many ways and we see the results in different aspects. Seeing videos captured by Floridians like XANDER GEOGRAPHIC 🏕️ in the Everglades is a testament to what leadership can do for us. It is breathtaking to not only see flamingos living their best life in the Everglades but to see the abundance of other wildlife thriving in other videos is another reminder of how awesome Florida truly is.

Real estate agent Morgan Goldberg lost her home in the Pacific Palisades fires She says she’s tired of the lies being told by Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass She shows “I’m back here at our reservoir, still empty, almost a year and a half after the fire” Karen Bass says this reservoir hasn’t been used for wildfires “in a million years” and now it’s only for drinking water Well, that’s a lie for 2 reasons Bass says the reservoir hasn’t been used in millions of years to fight fires, that’s false. It’s not that old 2nd, the reservoir can absolutely be used for fighting fires “All municipal systems have two kinds of water: potable and non-potable - Potable water is, in addition to drinking water, used in all of our systems; irrigation, fire hydrants, you name it. It simply means that the water's been treated - So non-potable water is sewage water, runoff water, everything that has not been treated or gone through our system So Just by mere fact that this exists in a LADWP man-made reservoir makes it potable, and it also funnels water to our fire hydrants. So yes, this is drinking water and it's fire hydrant water. We use it for everything. Except we don't because it's empty.” She’s referred to The Santa Ynez Reservoir, the 117 million gallon covered reservoir in the Pacific Palisades Highlands The reservoir stores treated drinking water. Its cover prevents contamination, which is why it isn’t used like open reservoirs for direct helicopter dipping. However, in an emergency this could have easily been used to fight fires So Karen Bass is lying again

Sharavathi reservoir at Linganamakki, facing my home, is filling up fast! It’s been raining nonstop for the past few days, with over 2,50,000 cusecs of inflow in the last five days alone. At this rate, another 45 days of heavy rain would take it to its maximum level of 1,819 feet. With a storage capacity of 151 TMC ft, Linganamakki is Karnataka’s largest dam and a 100% hydel power reservoir. (Video - CCTV at home)
