Reservoirs for sustaining life - human, all manner of wildlife, spawning streams for fish populations.

If we ever got rain like the coast, it'd flood more than a few cities, too. We're used to drizzles for a few hours, at most.<br /><br />Another risk I've been a bit worried about is our watersheds. With our glaciers melting at an alarming rate, the lake where I live was down rather noticeably for quite few months over the summer. Happily, unseasonably long and hard rains, like we get on the coasts, restored the water levels to normal in a short period of time.<br /><br />It'd be nice for stability, but I think that's been lost. We won't see stable until everything normalizes. Will we will survive through the coming changes? I hope so, but I can't foretell that.Troynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-49676543505335744542016-10-11T13:05:55.828-07:002016-10-11T13:05:55.828-07:00Anyong: Amazing to see pictures of Newfoundland &...Anyong: Amazing to see pictures of Newfoundland & Labrador flooded out, while people are denying Climate Change is the reason underneath the photos.

The "general revenue" category is a shush fund. Did you see Michael Moore's latest movie? He shows one country that itemizes its income tax form showing where the money will be spent. <br /><br /> Tobynoreply@blogger.com
