Deep Groundwater Might Be a Sustainable Solution to the Water Crisis
Scientists are finding fresh groundwater buried deep underground, but questions remain about the scale of these resources, how they’re resupplied, and whether they can be used sustainably.
Reactive Barriers Could Keep Nitrate out of the Atlantic
Microbes in mulch scrub nitrate from groundwater before it flows to the sea.
Groundwater Levels Are Dropping Around the World
Well data from around the world show declines driven by water use and climate change.
La extracción de agua subterránea está causando el hundimiento de la CDMX
