Compare and contrast: Scientists find most microplastics in drinking water smaller than EU detection limits
EuroNews Green Scientists say that most microplastics found in drinking water are very fine and thus more likely to pass from the human intestine into the blood and organs. Most […]
Compare and contrast: Compounding drought and climate effects disrupt soil water dynamics in grasslands
EurekAlert! A novel field experiment in Austria reveals that compounding climate conditions – namely drought, warming, and elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2 ) – could fundamentally reshape how water moves […]
Compare and contrast: Calls to curb invasive species spread via untreated water transfer
Science Daily Development of cities and the demands of agriculture mean that huge volumes of untreated water from lakes, reservoirs and rivers are now routinely moved large distances, across countries, […]
Compare and contrast: New NOAA dataset to help improve flood mitigation tools, flood-risk assessment
Phys.org The first modeled, historical water level and wave dataset for the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf coasts was released today by NOAA’s National Ocean Service (NOS). This comprehensive dataset known […]
Compare and contrast: Hiroshima flooding: A case study of well usage and adaptive governance
Science Daily Society is often vulnerable to disasters, but how humans manage during and after can turn devastation into opportunities for improved resilience. For instance, private wells are attracting attention […]
Compare and contrast: Chemicals in sewage sludge fertilizer pose cancer risk, EPA says
The Associated Press Harmful chemicals in sewage sludge spread on pasture as fertilizer pose a risk to people who regularly consume milk, beef and other products from those farms, in […]
Compare and contrast: Researchers use lab data to rewrite equation for deformation, flow of watery glacier ice
Science Daily Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear […]
Compare and contrast: Floods, droughts, then fires: Hydroclimate whiplash is speeding up globally
EurekAlert! The “expanding atmospheric sponge,” or the atmosphere’s ability to evaporate, absorb and release 7% more water for every degree Celsius the planet warms, is a key driver of the […]
Compare and contrast: Rice researchers find dialysis ‘astonishingly effective’ for treating wastewater
EurekAlert! Researchers at Rice University, in collaboration with Guangdong University of Technology, have uncovered an innovative approach to treating high-salinity organic wastewaters streams containing both elevated salt and organic concentrations […]
Compare and contrast: Rapid return of water from ground to atmosphere through plants
Science Daily A new study provides the first comprehensive global estimates of the amount of water stored in Earth’s plants and the amount of time it takes for that water […]
