Water treatment has seen many changes over its history. Water treatment standards have evolved through time since they were first introduced in ancient Greece when water was filtered and exposed to sunlight to enhance its aesthetic qualities.
Scientists have discovered a method to separate pure magnesium salt, a raw material for magnesium metal, from the ocean.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has provided hydropower operators with new data to better prepare for extreme weather events and shifts in seasonal energy demands caused by climate change.
In 2022, a quick internet search for Lake Mead or Lake Powell returns startling images of drying lake beds and parched land.
A research group has isolated the individual impacts of water supply and temperature on production, which are usually confused since dryness and heat are strongly associated.
As wildfire occurrences have increased, as do the pollutants from burned watersheds in the water. This was noted by researchers in a review paper that indicates the requirement for more research in this field.
High-performing water filtration systems, which are essential for reducing water shortages, can also lower costs and energy usage, according to a recent study from Northwestern University.
A research team from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) showed how water quality could be impacted by the climate-related loss of forests in the catchment area for Germany’s largest drinking water reservoir, the Rappbode reservoir in the Harz region.
U.S. Marines have to acquire and store sufficient drinking water to sustain them on missions since they have no access to clean water.
In recent years, hydrogen has gained a lot of attention as a potential clean energy source since it combusts without generating climate-damaging emissions.
