Are you working with #watertemperatures in freshwater systems?
Are you doing field work, modelling, large-scale analyses, or catchment studies?
Are you studying natural and anthropogenic processes governing fresh water temperatures, and their implications on ecosystems and water resources?

A strange feeling seeing me and @mixedforests.bsky.social on television🫣 but I'm glad we're reaching a broader public with our research on the impact of forest dieback on drinking water protection areas 🍂💧🍂
@carowinter.bsky.social recently appeared on SWR to talk about her new paper on how forest dieback from drought is threatening groundwater quality in Germany. A must-watch segment on the hidden risks to our drinking water.

Catch her at 14:59 into the video → www.ardmediathek.de/video/swr-ak...

#Waldsterben führt zu einer Verschlechterung der #Trinkwasserqualität, zeigt eine neue Studie der #UniFreiburg. Denn 43 Prozent der deutschen #Wasserschutzgebiete sind bewaldet – dort haben sich die #Nitratwerte im #Grundwasser verdoppelt, wenn viele Bäume abstarben.
