Some animals, such as ghost shrimps can even cope with water that is saltier than normal seawater. It’s all down to evolution.
In many municipalities, aging water infrastructure is serving fewer people than it was built to accommodate. Out of sight has meant out of mind – but resulting changes in water quality may affect safety.
Water in Sydney is far cheaper than in Melbourne, and residents take full advantage of it.
Wastewater reuse suffers from a perception problem.
Lead contamination is not just a problem for Flint, Michigan. It is an issue in many regions. One epidemiologist figured out how to measure past lead exposure using treasured biological samples.
Bushfires require three key ingredients to ignite: heat, fuel and oxygen.
New research demonstrates that the solar system is wetter than we thought.
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.
