Mystery of arsenic release into groundwater solved
2015-12-04 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Groundwater in South and Southeast Asia commonly contains concentrations of arsenic 20 to 100 times greater than the World Health Organization's recommended limit, resulting in more than 100 million people being poisoned by drinking arsenic-laced water in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Myanmar, Vietnam and China. Stanford scientists have solved an important mystery about where the microbes responsible for releasing dangerous arsenic into groundwater in Southeast Asia…

Earth has enough groundwater to raise sea levels by 52 metres
2015-11-16 17:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
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...
New research shows La Nia is not helping Hawai'i's rainfall, groundwater
2015-11-15 20:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Historically when El Nio events occur, Hawai'i has experienced nearly six months of drought, from November to April. Conversely, during La Nia events rainfall has been greater than normal -- building up Hawai'i's groundwater supply. New research published this month in the Journal of Climate by scientists at the University of Hawai'i -- Manoa, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, and NOAA's Honolulu National Weather Service (NWS) Office, determined that the relationship between...
