Climate change is putting an enormous strain on global water resources, and according to researchers, the Tibetan Plateau is suffering from a water imbalance so extreme that it could lead to an increase in international conflicts.
The country struggles to face the firm issue of PFAS contamination. Battelle has been all set to help tackle this problem with a proven solution that has the potential to remove the source of contaminated drinking water.
As far as bladder cancer is concerned, a possible culprit is the high concentration of disinfection byproducts present in tap water.
Flood frequency analysis is a method used to evaluate flood risk, thereby offering statistics like the “100-year flood” or “500-year flood” that are crucial to dam safety analysis, infrastructure design, and flood mapping in flood-prone regions.
In the MXene layers, the nanoconfined water present in-between them offers a significant approach for protons to shift to and from the redox surface, so the properties of nanoconfined water will have a big impact on proton transport.
A research team headed by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), has developed organic semiconductor-based photocatalysts that could make it easier to generate hydrogen from water using sunlight.
In today’s scenario, the drought affecting the upper Colorado River Basin is especially critical. A new study was performed by the federal government and university scientists under the guidance of the Bureau of Reclamation.
At the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, samples collected from the tropical Indian Ocean were examined by scientists by making use of a new technique for the extraction and identification of microplastic particles gathered from water samples.
The reason behind how the water masses and ocean currents tend to shift and affect climate change has been determined with the help of the features of the ocean floor. Also, biodiversity has been impacted by seafloor landforms.
As planning for carbon-free energy production gains momentum across the Intermountain West, water has come to the forefront as a key enabling resource.
