Developed and developing countries alike struggle with water quality problems. For World Water Day, a look at the challenges – and some potential solutions – to better treating wastewater.
South Africa did a brilliant job of increasing access to safe water for millions of people after the first democratic elections in 1994. But it hasn’t kept up the good work.
Stormwater harvesting offers an alternative water supply source. It’s almost entirely untapped in South Africa and could ensure improved water security across the country.
An expert in water science explains the mysterious chemistry behind water treatment.
Evidence is mounting that water came from within the Earth not from asteroids or comets.
There are plenty of mammals that have adapted to life in water, some more than others. That meant they also had to adapt the way they feed.
As the planet warms, the amount of moisture in the atmosphere is increasing. This will cause a lot more heavy rainfall, even in areas that are becoming drier.
The Museum of Water invites people to bring samples of water significant to them.
Understanding the connections between basic food demands and accessibility to water and energy is important when it comes to climate change and its impact on agriculture and livelihoods.
Liquid water develops different properties above around 50°C.
In light of climate change and a growing population, water authorities around the world are looking to recycled water.
We’re working on a project to map all of Europe’s waterways and dams.
Doctors blithely advice patients with UTIs and other mild infections to ‘drink plenty of fluids’ but this advice is not based on good evidence and may even be deadly.
The market for water entitlements is worth tens of billions, encouraging investors to raise funds and get involved. But the data shows they aren’t having a big impact on prices.
Massive state capture activity is taking place in the South African water sector under the guise of radical economic transformation, threatening financial sustainability and water supply.
Community participation is vital to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. But at the moment it often comes too little, too late.
Extracting coal seam gas produces billions of litres of water. A new CSIRO report suggests that, when treated, this water can be pumped back underground.
The current climate talks in Morocco are a golden opportunity for making strides on the adaptation of African agriculture. African countries need the tools necessary to do so.
Droughts are much bigger and slower than other natural disasters that hit Australia - meaning that despite their huge impacts, we still haven’t figured out how best to protect ourselves.
