🔎We used sediment fingerprinting to crack the case of #beaverdam vs #beaverdamanalogs sediment sources
Results? Beaver dam sediment originates from different & more diverse sources than BDAs due to🦫action!

Ecologist speaking calmly: if you pump groundwater from a drinking water aquifer for cooling data center shit and it evaporates, becomes a cloud, drifts away, and rains into the sea, you have in effect USED UP WATER. Begging everyone to learn the water cycle taught in 7th grade.
