I am in South Africa conducting water quality field work with funding from #NatGeo in collaboration with #WitsUniv and #CofC. Water levels this year have dropped by 50% from last year due to lack of rain. But we’ve not seen any HABs yet. @ksuearthsci.bsky.social 🧪

Alt text for the image in the OP: a view of a costal home in Vaal Dam in 2024. Water levels have dropped by 50% to conditions more typical of the dry winter season.

Here’s the same house last year viewing from a different angle (looking towards Vaal Dam). Note the position of the water relative to the horizontal beams connecting the stilts.

Umm am I looking at a flood ready house that is now in a drought? Is this the poster child for climate adaptation? As in, how terrible that we must adapt to such a horrendous range of opposite impacts.
