Russian River dam to be lowered in anticipation of rising water levels

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:56 GMT

(BCN) -- The Sonoma County Water Agency will begin deflating the rubber dam on the Russian River near Forestville on Monday in anticipation of elevated water levels. The National Weather Service said a series of storms will lash the region starting Sunday, with upwards of 1 to 5 inches of rain projected throughout the Bay Area.The dam is just downstream of the Wohler Bridge and is typically inflated in the spring or early summer when water demand increases, according to Sonoma Water officials. It creates a pool of water that raises Sonoma Water's well levels in the area.In order to prevent damage on the rubber dam, it is deflated when the Russian River water flow is expected to rise above 1,600 cubic feet per second.Copyright © 2023 Bay City News, Inc.

South African ex-President Jacob Zuma denounces the ANC. He pledges to vote for a new party

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:56 GMT

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Former President Jacob Zuma on Saturday denounced the governing African National Congress party and announced that he would vote for a newly-formed political formation in South Africa’s general election next year.Zuma, who was president of the ANC from 2007 to 2017, said that he’s backing the newly-formed Umkhonto we Sizwe party that is named after the ANC’s now-defunct military wing, which was disbanded after the liberation struggle.Zuma called on other South Africans to vote for the new formation, saying it would be “a betrayal to vote for the ANC” of President Cyril Ramaphosa.The country’s general election scheduled for 2024 is expected to be highly contested, because the ruling ANC, which has governed the country since Nelson Mandela became South Africa’s first democratically-elected leader in 1994, faces a myriad of challenges.Recent polls have suggested that the ANC could for the first time garner less than 50% of the national vote in next...

Red de lagunas halladas en Argentina dan pistas de la vida en la Tierra hace más de 3.000 millones de años

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:56 GMT

(CNN) — Científicos descubrieron un ecosistema previamente oculto con un extenso sistema de lagunas en las llanuras saladas de la Puna de Atacama, una meseta árida en Argentina, con estromatolitos gigantes, que podrían permitir vislumbrar la vida más temprana en la Tierra y posiblemente incluso en Marte, según nueva investigación.Los estromatolitos son rocas en capas creadas por el crecimiento de algas verdiazules, o cianobacterias, a través de la fotosíntesis. Según la NASA, las estructuras se consideran uno de los ecosistemas más antiguos de la Tierra y representan la evidencia fósil más antigua de vida en nuestro planeta de hace al menos 3.500 millones de años.“Estos son ciertamente similares a algunos de los primeros macrofósiles de nuestro planeta, y en un tipo de ambiente realmente raro en la Tierra moderna”, dijo Brian Hynek, profesor del departamento de ciencias geológicas de la Universidad de Colorado Boulder, quien ayudó a documentar el ecosistema. “Son u...
