Compare and contrast: Gap between water supply and demand will increase as climate shifts, analysis finds
Phys.org Robust water-management strategies will be necessary to overcome discrepancies between water supply and demand in a warming world, according to a new analysis by Carnegie Science’s Lorenzo Rosa and […]
Water Security Agency releases preliminary runoff report
Water Canada While much of Saskatchewan experienced below-normal precipitation, leading to dry conditions at freeze-up last fall, overall conditions improved compared to last year. Most major reservoirs in southern Saskatchewan […]
Compare and contrast: Alkalinity on demand: innovative tech for instant water quality analysis
EurekAlert! Scientists have developed a technique for water alkalinity analysis that requires no specialized equipment, using only artificial intelligence and smartphone technology. This method allows for the rapid and accurate […]
Compare and contrast: Glacier Experts Uncover Critical Flaw in Sea-Level Rise Predictions
SciTechDaily New research shows temperate glacier ice flows more steadily than previously thought, leading to lower projections of sea-level rise. That temperate ice is like an ice cube left on […]
Compare and contrast: Groundwater in the Arctic is delivering more carbon into the ocean than was previously known
Phys.org Researchers have learned that although the groundwater only makes up a fraction of the water discharged to the sea, it’s liberating an estimated 230 tons of organic carbon per […]
Compare and contrast: Rising groundwater table due to restoration projects amplifies earthquake induced liquefaction risk in Beijing
Nature Groundwater restoration is increasingly common to mitigate groundwater overexploitation, which proves effective in resolving urban water scarcity and regional unsustainable development. China’s South-to-North Water Diversion Project is one of […]
Compare and contrast: Evaluating flood dynamics and effects in Nagpur city using remote sensing and Shannon’s entropy analysis
Nature Flood is among the most disastrous natural disasters since they are responsible for massive damage to infrastructure, severe fatalities and injuries, innumerable economic losses, and social disruptions worldwide. These […]
Compare and contrast: Social disparities in neighborhood flood exposure in 44,698 urban neighborhoods in Latin America
Nature Climate change is expected to greatly increase exposure to flooding, particularly among urban populations in low- and middle-income countries. Here we used daily flood data (2000-2018) to describe socioeconomic […]
Compare and contrast: Excessive Tibetan Plateau spring warming found to cause catastrophic June 2024 heavy rainfall in China
Science Direct In June 2024, southern China experienced record-breaking rainfall events. According to the National Climate Center’s June 2024 Climate Impact Assessment, since the start of the Meiyu season on […]
Compare and contrast: Optimizing nature-based solutions for urban flood risk mitigation: A multi-objective genetic algorithm approach in Gdansk, Poland
