Exclusive: European Commission planning to rewrite key law to allow water-intensive mines in regions suffering from drought The European Commission plans to rewrite the EU’s flagship water protection law to speed up the development of critical minerals mines, despite many being located in drying and water-stressed regions, analysis has found. Mining is a water-intensive industry, requiring large …

A grab bag from my friends and colleagues working on Colorado River issues.... The good news From friend of Inkstain Karl Flessa (the guy who helped get me started thinking about the Colorado River Delta), a new analysis concluding that despite...

Climate change could increase hydroclimatic whiplash and drive more extreme river conditions under 2 degrees C and 4 degrees C warming, with greater flood risk, longer dry spells, and growing challenges for water management across the UK, new research suggests.

Recent rain doesn’t mean the drought is over. The post Georgia drought guide: How to conserve water and protect your landscape appeared first on UGA Today .

The West is dry, overdue for fire, and running low on water. The institutions meant to help are struggling to keep up. Here's where to start. The post Five Ideas to Survive a Hot, Dry Summer appeared first on PERC .

A historic lack of snow in the Gila River watershed has left Arizona’s San Carlos Reservoir less than 1% full, triggering a massive fish kill and an indefinite closure. Despite the bleak conditions, heavy summer rains could help the reservoir rebound.

Water security is one of the most important challenges facing humanity today. Safe water is essential for drinking, and ecosystem health. However, increasing population growth, urbanization, and unsustainable water use are putting tremendous pressure on freshwater resources worldwide.

We call it Planet Earth. But perhaps we should have called it Planet Water. After all, around 71% of our planet’s surface is covered by water, and the oceans contain around 97% of all water on Earth. They regulate our climate, produce around half of the oxygen we breathe, absorb vast quantities of carbon dioxide, provide food

A new approach turns natural and industrial waters into fresh, drinkable water and reusable minerals.

BackgroundIn Russia, inland surface waters are controlled and monitored at the state level. The active development of industrial, economic, and household activities necessitates continuous and comprehensive oversight of water bodies. Effective implementation of these principles requires public involvement and the creation of a unified, clear, and accessible tool for recording and identifying prob…

Drought and water releases drained the Arizona reservoir to levels that have led to widespread fish deaths. The post Low Water at San Carlos Reservoir appeared first on NASA Science .

Safe water is often secured by infrastructure, but this can fail in remote, rural, or disaster-affected settings. Our self-powered floating capsule uses everyday motion to assess water quality, transmit TDS data, and support microbial disinfection without batteries or chemical additives.

Last week marked the conclusion of our Spring 2026 semester, a diverse group of students and interns who spent the past four months studying environmental challenges, building cross-cultural relationships, and engaging in meaningful dialogue during a particularly challenging time in our region. Throughout the semester, our participants explored topics ranging from water management and renewable e…

A new nature-inspired membrane uses perfectly uniform one-nanometer pores to filter molecules with remarkable precision. The technology could transform industries such as pharmaceuticals and textiles by reducing energy consumption, improving water reuse, and delivering separation performance far beyond current filters.

While La Calera faced severe water rationing, local springs were being drained by the drinks giant’s franchise. So the residents fought back When a severe drought struck La Calera near Bogotá, many of its residents lost their water for drinking, cooking and farming and faced up to 15 days of strict water rationing each month. Yet the area is home to Chingaza reservoir, which supplies about 70% of…

Hard rock terrains, defined here as crystalline igneous-metamorphic aquifers in which groundwater is stored mainly in weathered mantles and fracture networks, are especially prone to borehole-scale fluoride variability that complicates rural drinking-water security. This mini-review synthesizes recent evidence on geogenic fluoride occurrence, exposure pathways, and defluoridation strategies relev…
