Scientists can now receive near-real-time alerts about the world’s lands as their surfaces change, thanks to a new satellite-based monitoring system described today in Nature Communications.

Each year, U.S. wastewater treatment plants clean trillions of gallons of water, from what we flush down the toilet to drain down the sink.

A new study found historic droughts could become common for gatún lake, the main source of water for the Panama canal locks.
