How Switzerland cleaned up its rivers and lakes. This success story is encouraging when we address the next step: improving river morphology and riparian vegetation in a warming world.

From sewage and scum to swimming in ‘blue gold’: how Switzerland transformed its rivers
In the 1960s, the Swiss had some of the dirtiest water in Europe. Now, their cities boast pristine rivers and lakes – and other countries are looking to follow their lead

🌍 Mega-droughts are becoming more frequent and intense globally. Our study in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... shows that multi-year droughts have significantly increased over the last 40 years with severe impacts @wslresearch.bsky.social @wsl-dme.bsky.social @extremeswsl.bsky.social (1/7) 🧵
