How to Improve Water Availability in India
Water plays a critical role in sustaining societies, economies, and ecosystems—but it’s becoming increasingly scarce despite the growing demand. Experts predict that by 2030, global freshwater demand will outpace supply by 40% to 50%. For countries like India—now the world’s most populous nation—these stats are not encouraging. So, how do we improve water ...

As the demand for water rises, we need to re-think global water storage
As Europe swelters in unprecedented summer heat, water stress is a major and growing concern. The same is true for many places across the globe. The need for more water storage is obvious but simply building more dams is not the solution. Growing populations and economic development are driving the need for more water storage globally. Climate change – modified rainfall patterns, increased ...

What Is Managed Aquifer Recharge?
Water supply resilience in the face of drought and climate change is a key concern for the UK, as it is indeed for the rest of the world. It can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the UK won’t face water stress and scarcity issues, thanks to its famously damp climate, but experts have predicted that changes in weather patterns, rising temperatures, greater variability in ...

Stable Isotope Analysis Techniques: Powerful Analytical Tools for Various Fields
What Are Stable Isotope Techniques? A class of atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus is called isotopes, which can be divided into stable isotopes and radioactive isotopes. The nucleus of a radioactive isotope is unstable, and it decays into another isotope by spontaneously emitting particles. Isotopes that are not radioactive are called stable ...

Seven ambitious missions to transform the future of water security
Currently, 1.42 billion people live in high or extremely high water-vulnerable areas. Water security is deeply intertwined with climate change, and without immediate and bold action, water availability will worsen. With a growing population, global water demand is projected to increase by 20–30% per year by 2050, which could leave even more people water insecure. Populations at the highest ...
