40 Million Americans Depend On The Colorado River. That Could Be A Problem.
The Colorado River now carries about 20% less water than it did a century ago. The Colorado originates in the Rocky Mountains, where it is fed by melting snow. Due to the changes in weather patterns attributable to a heating planet, not as much snow falls in those mountains today as in prior years. Less snow means the land in the upper elevations is warmed by the sun where previously the snow cover would reflect sunlight back into space, making the area hotter, which means that whatever snow falls melts sooner.
The State Of The World’s Water — 7 Graphics
Every person on Earth should have access to reliable water supplies. Water is essential for sanitation, hygiene, and daily survival, but in some places, conflict over water is becoming more commonplace.To recognize the importance of water for everything we do, we compiled seven graphics that explain the state of the world’s vital water resources.
Water From The Air — The Perfect Solution?
Big problems need big solutions. But big and effective solutions might not be that complicated. I had heard about devices that extract water from thin airm but I wondered if any industrial scale solutions were out there.
Fossil Water Depletion, Groundwater Contamination, Saltwater Intrusion, & Permanent Subsidence — The Great Freshwater Depletion…
As these fossil water reserves are depleted, there is often nothing to replace them (the one notable exception being the possibility of desalination in some regions), with the eventuality often being large populations, industrial infrastructure, and farmland that is untenable in the regions in question, to be followed by mass migrations out of such regions.
Madagascar Is The Face Of Things To Come
While the Christmas season is now over, an article published recently by CleanTechnica author Steve Hanley referencing the Charles Dickens’ novella “A Christmas Carol In Prose, Being A Ghost Story Of Christmas” got me thinking.
Israel Agriculture Minister’s Response To Water Shortage: Pray For Rain
Much of the Middle East is now slated to essentially turn to desert over the coming decades and centuries owing to climate change, and exacerbated by poor human judgment and short-sighted activities.
Middle Eastern Governments Well Aware Of Impending Climate Change + Land, Water, Food, & Energy…
Governments across the Middle East are privately well aware of the threats that climate change, water scarcity, soil erosion, and food and energy scarcity pose to their continued existence, officials documents obtained by INSURGE INTELLIGENCE have revealed.
