A Third Of Californias Deep Groundwater Aquifers Are Being Used For Oil And Gas
2016-06-29 11:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: California has a lot more usable groundwater than previously thought - but that water might already be in danger from oil and gas extraction in the state. A study released this week by Stanford scientists shows that there is nearly three times more groundwater in California`s Central Valley than earlier surveys had indicated. Its not often that you find a water windfall, but we just did, study co-author Robert Jackson, the Michelle and Kevin Douglas Provostial Professor at Stanford, said...
Potential Of Hydraulic Fracturing Fluids Escaping To Aquifers Subject Of New Paper In Groundwater

Warming climate is bad news for western US aquifers
2016-02-24 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: By 2050 climate change will increase the groundwater deficit even more for four economically important aquifers in the western U.S., reports a University of Arizona-led team of scientists. The new report is the first to integrate scientists' knowledge about groundwater in the U.S. West with scientific models that show how climate change will affect the region. "We wanted to know, 'What are the expectations for increases and decreases in groundwater as we go forward in this century?'" said lead...
NASA Says Sea-Level Rise Temporarily Slowed By Aquifers & Lakes
2016-02-15 23:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: For the first time, scientists can see how water storage on land affects how much and how fast sea levels have risen. An orbiting NASA satellite calculated the amount of water stored on Earth's continents, and the measurements revealed that terrestrial bodies are soaking up an extra 3.2 trillion tons of water, which is briefly mitigating the rise in sea level by approximately 20 percent. This land water is being stored in lakes, underground aquifers and the soil. Researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion...
