A novel approach to make seawater evaporate faster than freshwater has been hailed as a significant breakthrough in desalination technology .

Combining solar power production with agriculture can significantly boost crop yields, conserve water and generate low-carbon electricity for areas particularly vulnerable to climate change, a new study has shown.

Nature Sustainability - This analysis looks at the impacts and outcomes from installing solar arrays on agricultural land, finding that these ‘agrisolar’ projects can displace food...

A UC Riverside-led study has found that a smartphone app that tracks household water use and alerts users to leaks or excessive consumption offers a promising tool for helping California water agencies meet state-mandated conservation goals. The study found…

Nature Food - Most studies on the potential of meat alternatives to mitigate environmental pollution look at greenhouse gas emissions, but groundwater quality remains understudied. Using a...

We dammed so much water it moved Earth's poles









Over the past two centuries, humans have locked up enough water in dams to shift Earth’s poles slightly away from the planet’s axis of rotati

New research out of the western U.S. suggests dams and ponds built by beavers can slow floods, store water and even create green firebreaks in wildfire-prone landscapes.

The Turkana people consume an animal-based diet in one of the hottest, driest places on Earth. Scientists uncovered the genetic variation behind this desert adaptation, and how it leads to problems as the Turkana transition to city life.

Wastewater can replace clean water as a source for hydrogen, eliminating a major drawback to hydrogen fuel and reducing water treatment costs of hydrogen

Company-wide metrics from the environmental disclosure of data center operators suggest
that AI systems may have a carbon footprint equivalent to that of New York City in
2025, while their water footprint could be in the range of the global annual consumption…

Each percent increase in the proportion of the aging population on a global scale causes a 2.17 percent decline in water use

A set of instrumental variables is employed to strengthen the identifi...
