With the promise of more periods of intense rainfall in years to come, what do we need to do to protect ourselves more from flooding in future?
Drought-driven humanitarian emergencies can be prevented if groundwater is reliably made available at strategic locations.
The simple experiment of throwing a rock into water actually reveals some fundamental rules of physics.
Wetlands are an important resource that needs to be taken better care of.
Once water is used in washing, cleaning or even sewerage it can be safely and reliably treated. The treated water is then safe to drink – identical to the original water.
We asked five experts if coconut water is good for you. Four out of five experts said no.
