“Brown water gushed from a waterfall in the Austrian spa town of Bad Gastein after the region was hit with heavy rain. The rainstorms led to rivers rising to critical levels and caused floods across the Austrian Alps on Monday, including from the Gasteiner waterfall”

New York Times:

The salmon were once so plentiful in the river that old-timers talk about having been able to cross on the backs of fish so thick they were like steppingstones. Such was the renown of the Cowichan River, flowing east on Canada’s Vancouver Island, that its fly-fishing conditions were posted in fishing clubs in London. John Wayne and Bing Crosby were regulars in Cowichan Bay.

So when hundreds of young salmon and trout were found dead in the river last month, even as record wildfires burned across Canada, the news made the front page of the local newspaper. The die-off, the biggest in living memory, quickly led to an investigation.

It remains a mystery. Government officials found partially treated wastewater in the river a couple of weeks after the fish were found, but they have yet to draw conclusions about its impact. Local scientists suspect the bigger culprit is climate change, which has contributed to the decline of salmon populations in British Columbia by increasing droughts and heat waves.

New York Times:

Heavy rain and flash floods tore through parts of West Virginia on Monday morning, prompting emergency water rescues and evacuations, as residents were instructed to seek higher ground, the authorities said.

Over five hours, the National Weather Service recorded between three and six inches of rainfall in the Upper Kanawha Valley area near the capital, Charleston, with radar picking up more than eight inches of rain in some areas.
