It’s a green beer for a good cause.

A rare and natural phenomenon has turned a tree in Montenegro into a gushing spring.

Seawater is a complex cocktail of useful minerals, but it’s hard to separate the ones we need. Now a team of scientists from Australia and the US has developed a new water desalination technique that can not only make seawater fresh enough to drink, but recover lithium ions for use in batteries.

Third-grade reading proficiency has plunged in the lead-poisoned city, setting off a debate about the possible causes. By Emily Atkin.

A naked man covered in mud lies on a beach, nearby a dreadlocked recluse reads from the Book of Exodus and a woman strikes a low soothing note from a Tibetan singing bowl.

This makes me feel uneasy

More than 5 billion people could suffer water shortages by 2050 due to climate change, increased demand and polluted supplies, according to a UN report on the state of the world’s water. The comprehensive annual study warns of conflict and civilisational threats unless actions are taken to reduce the stress on rivers, lakes, aquifers, wetlands and reservoirs.

"Two years of LCR data show that Flint's water is testing the same as or better than similar cities across the state," the DEQ announcement Wednesday says. "Third-party independent experts have also confirmed that Flint's water currently tests below actionable levels for lead and copper.

The Aral Sea is bringing new wealth to fishing villages in Kazakhstan, but their neighbours on the opposite shore in Uzbekistan are suffering a very different fate.

In a warming world, the fight for water can push nations apart—or bring them together.

Every 4th grade student knows that more than 70 percent of the earth is covered in water, but how many of us know that a significant portion of our planet’s water is already undrinkable?

Brace yourself for one of the biggest wealth booms ever as early investors ride this healthy beverage explosion that’s capturing billions from
the $74.3 billion dollar soda industry.

A busy university professor didn't have time to work closely with his high school student intern. So he sent her off to figure out her own project...

The unhealthy smog that settled over Beijing earlier this year, capturing international media attention, is not the only visible sign of China's rapid economic growth and the resulting environmental hazards. Countless rivers and lakes have also been contaminated by nearby factories, and sometimes, dumping by local residents.

We’re in an age when scientists can detect the infinitesimally tiny particles that endow atoms with mass and are probing some of the deepest mysteries of biology, such as how experiences and memories can be passed down through an organism’s genes. Thus, it may come as a surprise that we still don’t understand the mechanics of a relatively simple natural phenomenon: snow.

Massive reserves of “freshwater” are buried beneath the seabed on continental shelves around the world, including off Australia, China, North America and South Africa. This is the conclusion of a new study by a team of Australian scientists that appears in this week’s issue of the journal, Nature.

Video explores what happens when a stream of water is exposed to an audio speaker producing a loud 24hz sine wave.

Researchers say they have discovered a large reservoir of melt water that sits under the Greenland ice sheet all year round. The scientists say the water is stored in the air space between particles of ice, similar to the way that fruit juice stays liquid in a slush drink. The aquifer, which covers an area the size of Ireland, could yield important clues to sea level rise.

Greenland can either slow the effects of climate change or could drastically raise sea levels. Researchers at the University of Utah said that lake, known as "perennial firn aquifer," remains liquid year-round despite the otherwise frozen landscape around it, according to English.chosun.com.

Who knew that our ocean currents were constantly painting Van Gogh's Starry Night across the planet? This visualization, created by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio, captures the surface currents that danced and twisted across Earth's oceans from June 2005 through Decmeber 2007 while transporting heat and carbon through the waters.

Nearly 200,000 people in West Virginia awoke Friday to warnings about their tap water: Don't drink it. Don't cook with it. Don't even brush your teeth.

Professional photographer Tim Tadder gathered a bunch of awesome bald men and hurled water balloons at their heads to capture the explosion of water at various intervals. He named this project "Water Wigs."

How long can 300,000 people go without potable water? A chemical spill by a coal facility has left a big swath of West Virginia in an unthinkable state—with no end in sight.

The site of a West Virginia chemical spill that contaminated the water supply for 300,000 people operated largely outside government oversight, highlighting gaps in regulations and prompting questions on whether local communities have a firm grasp on potential threats to drinking water.

How regulators allowed chemicals to literally slip through the cracks and threaten the water supply.

Kevin asks: What would happen if you froze water, but the container was so strong the water couldn’t expand into ice? Some readers may recall a science class in which an excitable teacher walked to the front of the class to show off a small, cracked steel container, seemingly damaged by an incredibly powerful...

The punishing drought that has swept California is now threatening the state’s drinking water supply. With no sign of rain, 17 rural communities providing water to 40,000 people are in danger of running out within 60 to 120 days.

Printer cartridges are both ridiculously expensive and harmful to the environment, making them terrible on many different levels; but still, not everyone likes to read on a screen. To solve this dilemma, Chinese scientists have developed a new type of ink for your printer – ink that isn’t actually ink at all. It’s water.

Some 82,000 tons of coal ash mixed with 27 million gallons of contaminated water — enough to fill more than 40 Olympic swimming pools.

TEPCO has revised the readings on the radioactivity levels at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant well to 5 million becquerels of strontium per liter – both a record, and nearly five times higher than the original reading of 900,000 becquerels per liter. Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope of strontium produced by nuclear fission with a half-life of 28.8 years. The legal standard for strontium emissions is 30 becquerels per liter.

In 1928 the Thames flooded much of central London, with fatal consequences. It was the last time the heart of the UK's capital has been under water. How did the city cope and what has changed?

The operator of Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant said on Thursday that 100 metric tons of highly contaminated water had leaked out of a tank, the worst incident since last August.

The operator of Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant said on Thursday that 100 metric tons of highly contaminated water had leaked out of a tank, the worst incident since last August, when a series of radioactive water leaks sparked international alarm.

The likely scale of the radioactive plume of water from Fukushima due to hit the west coast of North America should be known in the next two months.
