Faced with fluctuating water levels and increasing climate uncertainty, Great Lakes communities are grappling with how to best protect infrastructure along their coasts. Hard armoring shorelines with structures like riprap is a common approach, but such structures impact shared public trust resources and neighboring properties. A new Center for Water Policy report by Cora Sutherland and Melissa Scanlan compares shoreline hard armoring statutes and regulations across the eight Great Lakes states, revealing regulatory best practices and areas for improvement when considering coastal resilience.

In #Somalia, there is no functional institutional framework and policy for environmental protection and water resources management. This has contributed to desertification, degradation of grazing zones, and depletion of fertile soil, impacting livelihoods. The overall damage has yet to be assessed, but it is likely to be significant. #DesertificationAndDroughtDay For a deeper dive into the issue, read our previous study 👉 https://bit.ly/3UmQ1ax.

What are the strategies for safe and equitable access to water? Water can be a catalyst for peace and security with a critical role in preventing conflicts and promoting cooperation among communities and nations — but only if managed equitably and sustainably, a study reveals. Experts have devised a blueprint to ensure safe, equitable and sustainable global access to clean water. The seven-point strategy will allow water challenges to be governed effectively so they do not create conflict when access is restricted or usage unfairly shared. Lead author Professor Stefan Krause, from the University of Birmingham, co-chair of the UNESCO UniTwin network on Ecohydrological Interfaces, commented: “Water can be a powerful tool for peace when managed sustainably and equitably, but there is increasing conflict for water as an irreplaceable resource for humans and waterbodies as highly valuable ecosystems with a rich biodiversity. Our study provides a blueprint for using water to foster cooperation and prevent conflicts, ensuring a more just and resilient future for all. Co-creating shared visions for water solutions ensures fairness and acceptance of management decisions.” Rachna Chhachhi RachnaRestores®️ Kindness Practice Foundation Click on the link below to read the seven strategies to help achieve peace and security for access to water. https://lnkd.in/deJqgJHV For more such articles on mental health, well-being and sustainability, don't forget to follow us. #unhurry #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthsupport #sustainability #sustainableliving #sustainablelifestyle #water #earth #planetearth #environment #thereisnoplanetb #planetearth
