It is very interesting, but I wish the article was a bit longer and was more specific about the comparative impacts of the water distribution effects it referred to.
The article basically says “stuff changed, here are a couple of numbers”, but it didn’t elaborate on the actual changes and effects and how they compare to 20 or 50 years ago from either an ecological vantage point or human experience point of view.
