Where the City of Albany gets it's water from -- the Alcove and Basic Reservoirs.
The Alcove Reservoir is not only a larger reservoir and basin, it also has much higher water quality due to land cover. The Basic Reservoir is connected to the Alcove Reservoir via pipeline and Silver Creek but used only occasionally due to lower water quality and quantity.
When I got to Stewart Park, the snow was blowing and wind was whipping around. This time I didn't camp in my truck but actually stayed at a dorm room at Cornell University.

DuckDB is an amazing tool. Even with tens millions of records you can create advanced analysis in seconds or less of without setting up a database server using fairly straightforward SQL commands.
It’s a self contained application (no libraries required!), though you can write apps that use it in a wide variety of languages like C, Rust, Java, Python and R that either use it statically or dynamically linked.
I’ve been mostly using the C interface with it, but for most data manipulation you can just create lists of SQL commands to run an pipe it into the duckdb app – in my testing it’s slightly faster with then the C though granted I played with relatively simple apps and I didn’t optimize my build or exclude debugger symbols and used dynamic linking.
