Leaky pipes and irrigation runoff responsible for up to 90% of Austin creek’s flow
SUMMARY: Austin’s Waller Creek remains lush due to leaky pipes providing a steady water supply, especially beneficial to Bald Cypress Trees. Research led by University of Texas Professor Jay Banner revealed that up to 90% of the creek’s flow consists of leaking drinking water, wastewater, and irrigation runoff. The study compared the growth of Cypress Trees on Waller Creek and Onion Creek, finding those on Waller Creek thrive even during droughts, benefiting from the consistent water flow. Banner points out that while the leaks have advantages for the trees, the broader implications of water waste must be addressed by local authorities.

Senate Republicans introduce legislation to legalize IVF treatment nationally
SUMMARY: Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Katie Britt are introducing federal legislation to protect in vitro fertilization (IVF) access nationwide. This follows an Alabama Supreme Court ruling classifying embryos from IVF as children, causing concern among prospective parents. The bill aims to ensure IVF access by tying it to federal Medicaid funding, addressing misunderstandings and legal uncertainties. Cruz and Britt emphasize that the bill does not force individuals or organizations to provide IVF but ensures it remains accessible. While Alabama has a state law protecting IVF patients, Democrats have also proposed similar legislation, which faced opposition from Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.
