Check out our amazing #animations of how natural infrastructure in dryland streams (#NIDS) are nature-based solutions to support water cycles (around the world)! A collaboration with @USGS 🇺🇸 ♥️ @MulloonInst 🇦🇺 (& Spanish translation by @iAlumbra 🇲🇽) Enjoy!! 💦 mullooninstitute.org/2025/05/21/s...
Seeing water differently: new animations! - Mulloon Institute
Understanding how, where and why water moves in the landscape is key to building resilience, wherever we are. Adding to our existing series of animations, we’ve created three new ones to bring this id...
