Compare and contrast: Recycling sewage is a sensible way to improve water security – but would you swallow it?
The Conversation – Europe In his book Purified: How Recycled Sewage is Transforming our Water, Peter Annin, director of the Burke Center for Freshwater Innovation in Wisconsin, US, explores the […]
Compare and contrast: Scientists urged to pull the plug on ‘bathtub modeling’ of flood risk
Science Daily Recent decades have seen a rapid surge in damages and disruptions caused by flooding. Experts call on scientists to more accurately model these risks and caution against overly […]
Compare and contrast: Can Recycled Oilfield Water Quench the Thirst of Drought-Stricken West Texas?
Inside Climate News Oilfield wastewater injected underground is causing earthquakes and blowouts. Now, pilot projects are exploring whether this water could be treated and used to grow crops. Click […]
Compare and contrast: Two-way water transfers can ensure reliability, save money for urban and agricultural users during drought in Western U.S.
Science Daily A study offers a solution to water scarcity during droughts amid the tug of economic development, population growth and climate uncertainty for water users in Western U.S. states […]
Compare and contrast: To design better water filters, engineers look to manta rays
Science Daily Studying the filter-feeding mechanism of mobula rays, engineers developed a new design for industrial cross-flow water filters. Research shows the filter-feeders strike a natural balance between permeability and […]
Compare and contrast: In Wales, we’re one more flood away from another disaster like Aberfan
The Guardian It is only a matter of time before a mountainside is brought down. We need climate adaptation help – and we need it now. It’s “raining old ladies […]
Compare and contrast: Impact of climate change on water resources will increase price tag to decarbonize the grid
EurekAlert! A new study warns that current plans to achieve zero emissions on the grid by 2050 vastly underestimate the required investments in generation and transmission infrastructure. The reason: these […]
Compare and contrast: New model sheds light on groundwater declines by linking irrigation decisions and groundwater use
Phys.org Sustainable rates of groundwater withdrawal in Oregon’s Harney Basin were surpassed 20 years prior to the time declining groundwater levels were generally recognized, a new analysis found. That lag […]
Compare and contrast: Water Management: New Bias Correction Tool Improves Modelling for Water Resources
AZoCleantech A novel bias correction tool that improves the accuracy of climate modelling will help us adapt our water management to climate change. The software, developed by UNSW hydrologists, provides […]
