The start of the Ouse Valley Way is signposted, just #walk #rivers #GreatOuse #RiverWalks

Oregon and Washington carry ~23x more water at their December peak than at summer's end. Every thread is a real river rising and falling with its own daily flow. Winter rains fill the network; late summer runs thinnest. Discharge @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social #rivers #pacificnorthwest

Brazil at its wet-season peak pours over 400,000 m³ into the sea every second. At the dry-season low, under a third of that. The Amazon carries the bulk, but every river breathes with the year.

Every river in mainland Spain and Portugal, drawn only by its own water, every day since Jan 2025. The peninsula breathes: about 890 m³/s to the sea at the summer low, 33,600 at the Feb 2026 peak, a 38-fold swing.

We have to plan for future droughts and floods. Ecologists can't, in the medium term, halt the ravages of the #climatecrisis in #Europe, but by freeing #rivers from their straitjackets, they can help mitigate the impacts for nature and humans

The young Grayling & Trout love the fast flowing waters of the River Nar. Even at the end of August, after the drought, though waters lower than usual, they kept up unusual speed for East Anglian #chalkstreams, keeping the sands and flinty gravels flushed clean. #fish #rivers #ukwildlife #browntrout

Also a shoal of Common Roach (Rutilus rutilus) snug beneath more large woody debris, part of the River Nar restoration. Surprisingly Roach are actually the most abundant fish in this reach of the River Nar, along with amazing densities of Brown Trout & Grayling. #KingsLynn #WestNorfolk #fish #rivers

For your enjoyment, more of the beautiful Brown Trout in the River Nar #WestAcre. I was lying centimetres from it, could have reached out and touched it, but it wasn't budging, even while I needed to talk to the BBC film crew on the bank. #Rivers #fish #norfolk #brecks #breckland #Chalkstreams

“Patrick Lynch raises the bar for what a field guide can be. Despite the compact size, Streams is also a beautifully written primer on stream science—a remarkable achievement.”—David Skelly, Director, Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History
