Deadly Arsenic More Common in Wells Near Fractured Bedrock

Wells located near ancient folds and fractures in the bedrock beneath southeastern Wisconsin are more likely to contain arsenic, a dangerous contaminant in drinking water, according to research published by the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. The findings come from an ongoing survey of the extent and causes of arsenic contamination in groundwater in eastern ...

Seismic Noise Tracks Water Levels in Underground Aquifers

Seismic noise — the low-level vibrations caused by everything from subway trains to waves crashing on the beach — is most often something seismologists work to avoid. They factor it out of models and create algorithms aimed at eliminating it so they can identify the signals of earthquakes. But Tim Clements thinks it might be ...

Widespread Uranium Contamination Found in India’s Groundwater

A new Duke University-led study has found widespread uranium contamination in groundwater from aquifers in 16 Indian states. The main source of the uranium contamination is natural, but human factors, such as groundwater-table decline and nitrate pollution, may be exacerbating the problem. Several studies have linked exposure to uranium in drinking water to chronic kidney ...

A Study Has Found Major Shifts in Global Freshwater

A new global, satellite-based study of Earth’s freshwater distribution found that wet areas are getting wetter and dry areas drier. The data suggest that this pattern is due to a variety of human and natural factors, including people’s use and management of water,  human-caused climate change, and natural climate cycles. A NASA-led research team that ...
