The Berkeley Weather Lab recorded 27.5 inches of rain at its station in the Berkeley Hills, which is 94% of average.

The risk of drought is rising across large parts of England after an unusually dry start to spring pushed river flows, groundwater levels and soil moisture below seasonal norms, according to the latest official hydrological outlook.

If the lake level drops below 3,490 feet - termed the minimum power pool - the turbines that generate electricity have to be shut down. When the water level reaches critically low thresholds, air is sucked down like a whirlpool into the penstocks, forming explosive bubbles which can cause massive failure inside the dam.

As Utah's winter season has been anything but normal, Solitude Mountain is scaling back its parking reservations. On Fridays, you no longer need a reservation, and parking on those days is now free until the end of the season.

There were variations in the chemical composition of the deposits, indicating the replacement of boilers for heating water and a renewal of water pipes in the infrastructure of Pompeii, particularly during the time period when modifications were being made to the Republican baths. The results for the Republican baths' heated pools, for instance, showed clear contamination from human activity, specifically human waste (sweat, sebum, urine, or bathing oil), which suggests the water wasn't changed regularly.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.

Golden mussels like to stick to hard surfaces - like those pipes and pumps - and that has state officials concerned. They're going to grow, they're going to settle out, attach onto the walls, and then begin forming those colonies.
