El Niño is expected to bring heavy rains to drought-stricken California, but more rain alone won’t solve the West’s water crisis.
Papua New Guinea is now facing a drought and frosts that look set to be worse than 1997, when hundreds of people died. So how can memories of 1997 save lives over the next few months?
The Bureau of Meteorology recently released for the first time comprehensive national data on recycling and desalination.
By embracing science and technology, Australia’s agricultural industry could be more efficient, productive and sustainable.
There will be increasing demands placed on our soil and water in coming years, so we need greater research into how to preserve and maintain these precious resources.
The de-privatisation of water services in Jakarta creates new challenges for the government to ensure universal access to water.
The nine science and research priorities will help focus and coordinate our efforts, and aid government departments in supporting the future of Australian science.
Some atomic ratio detective work on our solar system neighbors tells us a lot about their watery pasts. That Venus and Mars are mostly dry now could be a cautionary tale for us on the Blue Planet.
As California enters another hot dry summer, policymakers from water and electric utilities are looking at ways to preserve these interdependent resources.
By comparing satellite images of Mars with mud flows on Earth, we managed to find signs of recent running water on the red planet.
The Outback covers 70% of Australia, and its water is precious and scarce. Yet there is no joined-up plan to monitor and manage Outback water, despite the wealth of species and communities that depend on it.
Southern African countries do not face water scarcity and do not need to build joint water projects. But they do need talk to each other to avoid misunderstandings.
What if you could grow biofuels on land nobody wants, using just seawater and sunlight, and produce food at the same time?
The EPA is seeking to clarify the reach of the landmark Clean Water Act to cover tributaries, yet people in agriculture and homeowners worry it will lead to onerous permitting.
The majority of water that people use goes to agriculture. In a drier, hungrier future, we’ll need to use what water we have with less waste. Technologies being developed now will help.
With emergency water rationing in place, how are universities – and other major water consumers – going to conserve?
Recent water leaks related to coal seam gas development in New South Wales raise more concerns about the industry’s impact on groundwater.
California is blessed with so much agricultural land that no matter how much the state conserves or produces, there will also be an economic incentive to consume more water.
The US Geological Survey recently confirmed what many people have already felt: that the rapid spread of fracking has led to more earthquakes.
