Ancient Water Underlies Arid Egypt
A hidden trove of groundwater is left over from the last ice age.
Modeling the Subsurface Hydrology of the Greenland Ice Sheet
Firn aquifers—pockets of meltwater beneath the surface of an ice sheet—could have far-reaching impacts on subglacial hydrology, a new study finds.
Pumping Offshore Groundwater Resources Has Consequences on Land
While vast volumes of fresh groundwater are located offshore, pumping these reserves can also deplete on-shore aquifers and cause land subsidence.
A Closer Look at the Sustainability of Our Groundwater Aquifers
Researchers use a new approach to assessing the world’s largest aquifers in hopes of improving groundwater management during drought periods.
Why Are Arctic Rivers Rising in Winter?
Increased glacial melt is boosting winter streamflows by filling aquifers, a new study on an Alaskan river suggests.
New Ground-Penetrating Radar Method Shows Promise in Aquifer
Recent advances in ground-penetrating radar data analysis could help reveal aquifer structure in unprecedented detail.
What Happens to Methane That Leaks from Abandoned Wells?
Three-dimensional simulations suggest that some aquifers may be more vulnerable to contamination from leaky oil wells than others.
