The source of water on Earth, the Moon and planets in our solar system is hotly debated. Some in the planetary science community argued that it came from asteroids and comets. Now they have proof.
Leonardo’s obsession with water flowed through his technical work, his art and his scientific ideas.
Cities need to pay attention to how extreme weather events effect their resources.
The green revolution: small-scale, informal irrigation is expanding in Zimbabwe and small scale farmers are leading the way.
When it comes to weight loss, there’s no such thing as a quick fix. But some foods will keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Since 2008, Landsat data has been free for the world to use, spurring new applications and scientific research. But that door could soon slam shut.
Hydrogen is the first element in the periodic table and essential for life on Earth. It may also be key to shifting away from fossil fuels toward clean sources of energy, but challenges remain.
Satellites hundreds of miles overheard are helping scientists to predict drought, track floods and see how climate change is changing access to water resources.
There are benefits and downsides to damming rivers.
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?
Could hairdressers hold the key to tackling climate change?

While making small volumes of pure water in a lab is possible, it’s not practical. The reaction is expensive, releases lots of energy, and can cause really massive explosions.
Public confidence in the institutions in charge of the Murray Darling Basin has plummeted – with good reason.
Most of us get thirsty when we need to drink more water. But there are other tell-tale signs that not all is well.
Water supply systems weren’t designed to deal with altering weather patterns brought about by climate change. This needs to change.
