Auckland’s extreme drought and the rapid retreat of glaciers in the Southern Alps both highlight how important long-term observations are for water management policy and planning.
The water that replenishes groundwater, rivers and lakes is under threat from climate change, pollution and aging infrastructure.
Satellites hundreds of miles overheard are helping scientists to predict drought, track floods and see how climate change is changing access to water resources.
The effects of climate change above ground are well known, but what’s happening to underground aquifers which supply most of the world’s fresh water?
Footprints get people thinking about their own impact, but for water the analogy simply doesn’t work.
