rivers are water pipelines

the modern river is better thought of as a pesticide, heavy metal, and fertilizer dispersal system. Any water it carries is purely incidental

wouldn't it like... really gently caress up the foundations of a lot of buildings if you had a foot of subsidence within a decade? I know it's a general thing across a whole region but surely it's not going to be a uniform drop in every patch of land

yeah it does. buildings that take up a lot more land than a house or whatever are the most obvious victims theres streets in mexico city where very long structures are obviously buckled.

Yeah, for a great preview of what subsidence can do to foundations and infrastructure, look at the stuff in Russia, Alaska and northern Canada that's built on now-melting permafrost:

The Great Recycling and Northern Development Canal or GRAND Canal is a water management proposal designed by Newfoundland engineer Thomas Kierans to alleviate North American freshwater shortage problems. It proposed damming James Bay, using the techniques of the Zuiderzee/IJsselmeer, to prevent its waters mixing with the salt water of Hudson Bay to the north. This would produce an enormous freshwater lake, some of which would be pumped south into Georgian Bay where it would increase the freshwater levels of the lower Great Lakes. The flow would be roughly equivalent to "2.5 Niagara Falls".

The plan was promoted by Kierans from 1959 until his death in 2013 and since by his son, Michael Kierans.

quote:

If the James Bay dike is built, "Virtually all marine organisms would be destroyed."

The inter-basin connections would be ideal vectors for invasive species to invade new waters.

Here in Baltimore, we're "only" about 18 degrees above the average high for this week. Not record-breaking but still abnormal.

What is crazy to me is that the forecast low for tonight is HIGHER than the average high by about 8 degrees.
