PFAS contamination remains one of the biggest challenges in groundwater management, with the prediction of nearly 80,000 drinking water sites in the US likely to have contamination exceeding EPA safety limits, putting millions at risk of serious health risks including cancer. The cleanup costs could exceed hundreds of billions of dollars as these “forever chemicals” resist traditional ...
Overview As part of the MEDSAL project, Mersin University in Turkey installed continuous monitoring equipment to gather data on parameters critical to groundwater salinization research. Challenge In 2019, PRIMA (Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area) and the European Commission founded the MEDSAL project, bringing ...
1. What is the Australasian Land & Groundwater Association (ALGA) New Zealand Land and Groundwater Conference 2024?The ALGA New Zealand Land and Groundwater Conference 2024 is an annual event that brings together industry professionals, scientists, and engineers to discuss the latest land and groundwater management developments. This year’s “Emerging Frontiers: Navigating Risk, Innovation and ...
30 years of data show salinity of groundwater increasing even far from coasts After 30 years of monitoring wells, the latest U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research shows groundwater across the nation is becoming saltier. It has long been known that seawater can intrude when coastal aquifers become depleted and sea levels rise, but the most ...
” In the past, when agencies like the EPA examined phytoremediation as an encouraging potential solution, they found that trees could not survive and take root in highly contaminated soils and groundwater. However, new research shows an advancement in microbiology that holds favorable results which boost a tree's resilience to toxic soils and ...
Findings may be used to guide water management decisions, such as adoption of water reuse When water is pumped from aquifers, it can be replaced either naturally or artificially through groundwater recharge. Natural recharge comes from the slow infiltration or percolation of precipitation or surface water, and artificial recharge increases the rate through human-controlled ...
Vista Clara, the global leader in magnetic resonance for groundwater investigation, has done extensive research on the differences between ERT and NMR. ...
It can be caused by a variety of natural forces and human activities, but currently it’s primarily caused by groundwater depletion. Now, a UNESCO-funded research team based in Spain has developed a global land subsidence model that shows worsening groundwater depletion will expose nearly a fifth of the global population to land subsidence ...
I had the opportunity to participate in summer research focused on groundwater contaminant modeling funded by the National Science Foundation. ...
Scientific testing and exploration is at the core of bioremediation. And as science continues to evolve, so do bioremediation’s capabilities, making it hard to keep up.While it is not necessary to understand every detail of bioremediation to benefit from it, a lack of awareness of the possibilities can mean missing out on the opportunities bioremediation offers.In this month’s blog, I discuss ...
Good surface and groundwater quality means sustainable development of plants, animals, and reliable drinking water. To guarantee this quality, a policy has been formulated in the Water Framework Directive which must be observed by all EU Member States. Due to the integration of various European water quality directives, the European countries are on the same page in terms of water-related issues, ...
Project Groundwater level measurement network, Municipality of Zutphen Client Municipality of Zutphen Implemented by Eijkelkamp Soil & Water and Inter Act Country The Netherlands Background to installing groundwater level measurement network ‘Sound knowledge of groundwater levels, flows and fluctuations within the urban area ...
Some estimates place the number of casualties as high as 400,000. In Borneo, researchers have found a correlation between forest fires and groundwater dynamics. During lengthy dry periods, the researchers have found that groundwater levels become so depleted that underground capillary action is effectively halted, creating a ...

In a recent study, researchers used satellite data to establish a link between excessive pumping from California aquifers and dangerous arsenic concentration spikes in the groundwater of the Tulare Basin. ...
The IDR Taste Test Challenge Beyond competitions for the best beer from reused wastewater, most research has focused on scientific measurements by hydrologists. The UC Riverside study, however, was a blind taste test by a psychologist, and the results are in: Water from indirect potable reuse was favored over natural groundwater, with favorability ratings ...
Water is a natural resource and everyone has equal access to it, but with the increase in population, many places are in drought. We need to consume lesser groundwater. When I was researching about animals, I found that a particular type of beetle in Africa holds air and when the air touches the body, it condenses to form water. ...

In their assessment, researchers compared two hydrological models for simulating groundwater recharge over large regions. ...
The ever-increasing global trade in food is accelerating groundwater depletion in many areas of the world, emptying aquifers faster than they can be naturally recharged, according to newly released research. Although groundwater depletion is a well-known and frequently studied issue, the new research focuses on how ...
Forests worldwide are at increased risk of death from drought, which is occurring more frequently and are more severe, according to researchers at the University of Stirling in Scotland. Sarah Greenwood, a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Stirling’s Faculty of Natural Sciences, said: We can see that the death of trees caused by drought is ...
