This month we explore academic publications on the topics of maintaining upper estuaries during drought through strategically placed and timed focused environmental flows, examining if the COVID-19 quarantine period lead to improved coastal water quality, and determining future impacts of climate change on water resources and drought.

think+water: Fecal Matter in the Edwards Recharge Zone, PFASs in Galveston Bay, and a Review of Reservoirs in Texas
This month we explore academic publications on the topics of developing a numerical surface-water/groundwater model for the lower San Antonio River Basin, using a geophysical technique—a gradient self-potential logging survey—to assess surface water-groundwater interaction on the Rio Grande in the Mesilla Valley, and utilizing a 20-member climate model to learn how a warmer climate could impact future droughts.
think+water: Surface Water–Groundwater Interaction in the San Antonio River, Surface Water–Groundwater Interaction in the Rio Grande in Mesilla Valley, and the Drought of the 1950s if the World Was 3° Celsius Warmer
This month we explore academic publications on the topics of developing a numerical surface-water/groundwater model for the lower San Antonio River Basin, using a geophysical technique—a gradient self-potential logging survey—to assess surface water-groundwater interaction on the Rio Grande in the Mesilla Valley, and utilizing a 20-member climate model to learn how a warmer climate could impact future droughts.
think+water: Climate Change Education in DFW, Mussels and the 2011 Drought, and Sampling Springs in the Edwards Aquifer System
This month we explore academic publications on the topics of barriers and opportunities for climate change education in Texas, understanding the impacts of drought on mussels in the Colorado River Basin, and tracing the origin of water and hydrological processes in the Edwards Aquifer system.
think+water: Teaching Climate Change, Climate-Forced Drought and the Power Grid, and Environmental Impacts of the Pandemic
This month we explore academic publications on the topics of climate change perceptions of secondary science teachers in a Blue state and a Red state, the effects of projected climate change and drought on water storage at 30 major reservoirs in Texas, and observed impacts of the pandemic—both good and bad—on the environment.
