We know the tides affect the oceans, but it also affects groundwater. If we can understand how, then we can better protect this precious resource.
Mass tourism in Bali is causing the island to face imminent groundwater crisis.
Some water researchers are ignoring the evidence offered by sampling if it doesn’t fit their preconceived notions. But science should always be honest and open.
Coal seam gas may not be responsible for a flaming river in Queensland, but it still raises uncomfortable questions.
There’s enough water under the ground to form a lake 100m deep over the earth.
The digging of wells in Africa has often been thought of as the solution to helping rural women walking to get water, but they may cause more harm than good.
A new technique that uses lasers to determine the composition of groundwater is helping us protect that most precious resource.
A government for the 21st century needs to work out how we can grow our food, manufacture goods and dispose of waste without making such a huge mess.
Geosciences can be a valuable tool in the fight to provide Sub-Saharan Africa with safe drinking water.
The controversial Shenhua Watermark coal mine in New South Wales recently cleared another hurdle along the way to being granted full approval to proceed. But there are major environmental risks which should still call the project into question.
Can California – and its massive agriculture industry – endure the drought without destroying its groundwater resources?
Recent water leaks related to coal seam gas development in New South Wales raise more concerns about the industry’s impact on groundwater.
The Queensland government wants companies to use waste water from coal seam gas extraction for useful purposes such as recharging aquifers. New CSIRO research shows that, with careful monitoring, it can be done.
The Australian Constitution says residents have the right to water from the rivers for irrigation and conservation purposes but governments have brought in laws that are restricting this – One Nation’s…
