New Scientist: Earth holds enough water underground to flood the surface of the continents to a depth of 180 metres - or raise sea levels by 52 metres if it were spread over the entire globe. But only a small percentage of this is renewable on a human timescale. The size of this smaller renewable reservoir - never known until now - may help governments manage water resources in the face of growing demand. Society is increasingly relying on groundwater from wells and springs for drinking and, especially, for...

Climate News Network: A massive Greenland glacier that holds enough water to raise sea levels by half a meter [nearly 20 inches] is melting at speed, according to a new study. The Zachariae Isstrom in northeast Greenland has entered a phase of accelerated retreat, and is losing mass at the rate of 5 billion metric tons a year, according to U.S. scientists. They report in the journal Science that a succession of aerial surveys combined with multiple satellite observations has established that the base of the glacier...

Climate Home: When the ice on the mountains melt, the sea level rises and causes flooding, says Firoz all of twelve years. For this young inhabitant of Ghoramara Island, located in the Bay of Bengal, climate change is not just a lesson in geography but an everyday reality. One night my mother woke me up hurriedly saying that our house was crumbling, he recollects with a toothy grin, his innocence evidently untouched by misery.
