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.

Drinking 'raw water' could cause raw diarrhea

In Cape Town, South Africa, they're calling it "Day Zero" -- the day when the taps run dry. City officials had recently said that day would come on April 22. This week, they moved up the date to April 12. Cape Town is South Africa's second-largest city and a top international tourist draw. Now, residents play a new and delicate game of water math each day.

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.

Climate change is expected to contribute to strain on water supplies across B.C. and Alberta — even in rainy Vancouver. B.C.'s biggest city needs to take action to avoid water shortages, and it won't be cheap.

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.

There's another reason you might feel guilty about your Easter egg binge — more water is used to produce chocolate than any other food product, a university expert is warning.

Undervalued and ignored, wetlands are disappearing and drying up in Nepal – leaving the communities and wildlife that depend on them exposed in a changing climate. By Ramesh Bhushal.

It's a very human trait to assume that, no matter how far we advance technology, machines will never be able to replace our skills.

Farmers across the country are waiting for the ants to come. By Han Nguyen.

For the past 12 years, a Calgary-based company has been planning to pump water from the river to an underground site 12 kilometres away, where it will be used to flush out salt deposits, creating huge caverns that will eventually store natural gas. By Michael MacDonald.

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.
