Ocean salinities show an intensified water cycle
The stronger water cycle means arid regions have become drier and high rainfall regions wetter as atmospheric temperature increases. The study, co-authored by CSIRO scientists Paul Durack and Dr Susan Wijffels, shows the surface ocean beneath rainfall-dominated regions has freshened, whereas ocean regions dominated by evaporation are saltier. The paper also confirms that surface warming of the world’s oceans over the past 50 years has penetrated into the oceans’ interior changing deep-ocean salinity patterns. `This is further confirmation from the global ocean that the Earth’s water cycle ... |

New technology for water quality incident response
INTELLITECT Water has launched a unique, highly innovative drinking water monitoring technology, the Intellisonde SA™, which provides remote, continuous access to tap water quality data. Historically, the normal response to any issues relating to tap water quality would be for a Water Company to dispatch a team of water samplers equipped with sample bottles and/or DPD test kits. There are four main problems with this approach. Firstly, such tests are by definition a ‘spot test’ and therefore only give an indication of water quality at one moment in time. So, any problems that occur before ... |
