@portlandwater Our favorite word now is turbid 🤭
“It was given to Mother, Mother Earth as our Creator gave it to us. It is life, it’s survival. No question about it. We need water” – Kahmussa Green in "Changing Currents: Water is Love," a video by Changing Currents youtube.com/watch?v=LwU4KD…
And when we they come together When we are sipping water We are being reminded of who we are...
In honor of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we share a poem by Judy Bluehorse Skelton Water is our first medicine When you have nothing else, water Sipping the water Water will take you where you need to go Emotionally and mentally We carry a memory And water carries a memory ⤵️

@ConnectTheDrops There is a population of these at Steigerwald that our crews had to carefully work around during the reconnection project. Not only are they so pretty(!), they are also federally listed, though populations have rebounded enough that it is proposed to delist them.
When water voles make you 🥺 The water vole can be found wherever the woods meet the water, usually seated in place along the shore with a pile of grass and stems to munch on. Their traveling between river disperses nutrients from the water into the soil.
@USFWSFisheries That is just adorbs ✨
The salmon run is an amazing experience to see during the fall and winter seasons! Make sure to go to your local river 🐟
The salmon watch is on around many rivers and streams! Fall and early winter is peak viewing time for salmon migration as they prepare to spawn. And many of the top places to see chum salmon are in southern Puget Sound where the annual return peaks around Nov. 14.
@USFWSPacific That puts a smile on our face 🙂

Happy #WorldJellyfishDay! Pacific Sea Nettles are one of the most abundant sea jellies found in Oregon waters. Those long tentacles trail behind like a net, ready to deliver a paralyzing toxin to unsuspecting prey. #oregon #oregoncoast #oregoncoastaquarium
Perhaps you’ve come across a striking stalk of bright pink blooms in your journeys across the wetlands of the Willamette Valley and Southwest Washington. They belong to a species called Nelson's checker-mallow! ⤵️
Do you love estuaries and the musty, salty smell of mudflats? Our friends at @oregonshorescc are hosting an estuary-themed trivia and pint night in partnership with the @taphouseatnye. The event is free. Teams limited to 6 people. Register here: bit.ly/Estuary_Trivia
Water is healing for our mental health, too! Studies indicate that being near water can lower cortisol levels. Falling asleep to the sound of rain or waves can improve quality of sleep. Spending time near water has been found to boost creativity and problem-solving abilities.
You're walking through the park in the late evening. Up above, you catch the shadows shifting, the unmistakable flap of leathery wings in the darkness. It's a bat! 🦇🎃 Many bats rely on rivers for habitat and to feed on insects whose life cycles depend on water.
