The river continues southeastward to form the line between Stanly, Union, and Anson counties.
Tick Creek then flows south and curves northeast to meet the Rocky River about 5 miles southeast of Siler City. This stream is the second largest Rocky River tributary in drainage area and average discharge. Meadow Creek, right bank: 5.68 square miles (14.7 km 2) 7.40 cu ft/s (0.210 m 3 /s) 4.70 mi (7.56 km)
Scientists mapped the flow of water through every single river on the planet, every day over the past 35 years, using a combination of satellite data and computer modeling. What they found shocked ...

Crop yields may reduce because of increasing salt levels in irrigation water. Damage to ports disrupts sea trade. [9] [10] The sea level rise projected by 2050 will expose places currently inhabited by tens of millions of people to annual flooding. Without a sharp reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, this may increase to hundreds of millions ...
By 2050, California is expected to lose between 4.6 and 9 million acre-feet of its annual water supply. In other words, by 2050 at the latest, Californians would lose access to a volume of water ...
Most water in Earth's atmosphere and crust comes from saline seawater, while fresh water accounts for nearly 1% of the total. The vast bulk of the water on Earth is saline or salt water, with an average salinity of 35‰ (or 3.5%, roughly equivalent to 34 grams of salts in 1 kg of seawater), though this varies slightly according to the amount of runoff received from surrounding land.
Following Hurricane Helene, the Tennessee River water level is higher near downtown Knoxville on Sept. 29, 2024. One non-power TVA dam narrowly avoided failure during the flooding after Helene: ...
