Can Saltwater Quench Our Growing Thirst?
2015-04-19 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: It seems simple enough: Take the salt out of water so it's drinkable. But it's far more complex than it appears at first glance. It's also increasingly crucial in a world where freshwater resources are progressively strained by population growth, development, droughts, climate change and more. That's why researchers and companies from the U.S. to Australia are fine-tuning a centuries-old concept that might be the future of quenching the world's thirst. "When it comes to increasing water supplies,...

Barriers Set Up, Water Being Testing at North Dakota Site of 3M Gallon Saltwater Spill
2015-01-23 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Earthen barriers have been set up across a creek and water was being tested Thursday around the site of a nearly 3 million-gallon leak of saltwater generated by oil drilling, the largest spill of its kind during North Dakota's current oil rush. The berms were built at Blacktail Creek to prevent potentially contaminated water from flowing out of the creek and into a bigger body of water that eventually leads into the Missouri River. "So when the ice starts to melt if there's any oil or contaminated...

News Press: As sea levels rise in Southwest Florida, water isn't just going to flood in from the Gulf; it'll come from above and below as well. Storm water and saltwater intrusion are two aspects of sea level rise that will cause headaches across the region. Southwest Florida's flat topography and porous geology mean water flows poorly on the surface, but relatively free underground. It's the exact opposite of what you'd want. Southwest Florida sits on primarily limestone rock, which is filled with...
