Cleaning and reoxygenating the river Thames has helped its biodiversity surge, but there’s still more to be done to make it healthy.
Residents and businesses are considering leaving Lismore for good. The town is now on the brink.
New research investigating the yabby diets found just how crucial these crayfish are to aquatic ecosystems.
While climate change poses new threats to trees, it also creates new opportunities for us to work with trees as allies. We must not work against them.
Tree rings are ‘nature’s weather stations’ and reveal far more of the Daly River’s history than scientific records can.
For over 40 years, a coal mine on the outskirts of the Blue Mountains World Heritage area dumped poorly treated wastewater into the Wollangambe River. Finally, it’s on the road to recovery.
Beavers in our landscapes have great potential to provide small-scale adaptations to climate change – if humans can figure out how to live with them.
Freshwater mussels are one of the most endangered groups of animals on the planet. Their demise will have dramatic consequences for freshwater environments worldwide.
Getting involved in citizen science projects can be a great way to have a positive impact on the world.
A Western scholar proposes allocating water from the Colorado River based on percentages of its actual flow instead of fixed amounts that exceed what’s there – and including tribes this time.
Salmon migrate thousands of miles from inland streams to the ocean and back. The newly enacted infrastructure bill includes funding to help salmon and other wild species on their way.
Humanity’s biggest challenges are not technical, but social, economic, political and behavioural. Effective actions are still possible to stabilise the climate and the planet, but must be taken now.
Diverting water to a hydroelectric dam might seem eco-friendly, but the devastating consequences to local ecosystems cannot be ignored.
Water and sewerage companies should not be responsible for reporting pollution.
Mangroves grow in saltwater along tropical coastlines, but scientists have found them along a river in Mexico’s Yucatan, more than 100 miles from the sea. Climate change explains their shift.
The world hydropower industry has public relations work to do, if its global expansion is to be realised. But stringent oversight is urgently needed.
Rivers are among the most embattled ecosystems on Earth. Researchers are testing a new, inexpensive way to study river health by using eDNA to count the species that rivers harbor.
Wild beaver populations have the potential to significantly alter our landscapes, affecting biodiversity, water quality and pollution.
During the warmer months, the number of days when the river ceases to flow will increase. Climate change is to blame.
