Every flush sends traces of our medicines into rivers. When antibiotics mix with common drugs like painkillers or hormones, bacteria can evolve to resist treatment.
Florida’s springs are a window into the state’s groundwater system. Revitalizing them will require multiple solutions tailored to each spring.
River heat waves are rising faster than the pace of air heat waves. That’s a problem for fish, drinking water quality, and food and energy production.
The fatal jet ski accident in Sydney this week reminds us how dangerous these personal watercraft can be.
Community-based research led by the Tsleil-Waututh Nation offers insight into how colonization has impacted the waters around Vancouver.

If federal streamgages were bolstered by networks of cheaper monitors run by communities, the results could save lives.
After wildfires in California and Colorado cities, levels of harmful metals in the water jumped. Nature sent up a red flag.
Portable paddleboards can transport unwelcome passengers – here’s how to minimise the risk of spreading invasive and non-native species between waterways.
