Heat Under Your Feet Identifies Groundwater Flow
In many cases, standard approaches for analysing temperature-depth profiles to trace groundwater flow are now invalid because climate change has warmed the land surface and created an inversion in the geothermal gradient.
Improving Management of Water Distribution Systems by Understanding Microbial Ecology
Operators are now increasingly being held accountable to ensure delivered water is safe for human consumption, yet little is understood on how to best to manage these living engineered systems.
Who Gives A Dam About Beavers?
Working with beavers could help us to design holistic urban and suburban green spaces in the future.
Tracing the Sources of the Nile Water
From the West African rain forest to the Ethiopian highlands, implications of changes in the West African rainforest with respect to the rain and available water resources of the Nile basin.
Water and Indigenous Rights: Recognition, Representation and Redistribution
The literature on Indigenous water rights, examining the ways in which Indigenous people are framing their claims for water and how they are being addressed in national frameworks of water governance.
Hydrological Data Uncertainty and its Implications
How are hydrologic data used in understanding environmental processes and creating forecasting models and guiding water management?
Interpreting Historical, Botanical, and Geological Evidence to Aid Preparations for Floods
Records of flooding in the past have, and continue, to improve flood hazard assessment.
Water and Film: Fluidity of Time and Space and Its Somatic Perception
A recent WIREs Water review analyses the close relationship between water and moving images.
Measuring the Human Right to Water
The right to water requires that governments ensure water is available, accessible, safe, affordable and acceptable for human consumption. At this point in time, however, there is little consensus on how to measure and verify a country’s compliance with that right.
