The Colorado River basin has lost a Lake Mead’s worth of water in the last 20 years — and scientists say we’re passing a "critical point" where pumping groundwater will become too expensive.

The research helps complete scientists' understanding of the water cycle on early Mars ... More information: Mohammad Afzal Shadab et al, Infiltration Dynamics on Early Mars: Geomorphic, Climatic ...

Forest fires not only destroy biodiversity, but also threaten the water cycle. Without vegetation cover, rainfall becomes less frequent, the soil loses its infiltration capacity, and rivers dry up ...

ABSTRACT: Under freeze-thaw cycle conditions, salt-affected soil will undergo water and salt migration, which can cause damage to the soil itself and affect the quality of engineering. The present ...

Urban occupation has caused changes in the components of the hydrological cycle, mainly favouring surface runoff to the detriment of water infiltration into the soil and aquifer recharge. Compensatory ...

The infiltration rate in MAR systems remains largely unaffected ... we did not find any studies describing the dependence of Ir on water level in short cycle basins. This is not surprising, as ...

The water cycle is driven by solar energy and gravitational ... in the form of rain, snow, sleet Infiltration: The process by which water penetrates the soil and becomes groundwater Runoff ...

The water cycle is the vital Earth process that moves freshwater and moisture around the planet, and for the first time in human history, that system is breaking down. A new report from the Global ...

Water moves around the world in "atmospheric rivers" as part of the global water cycle, explained the report from the Global Commission on the Economics of Water. Water evaporates from ground ...

The world’s water cycle is out of balance ”for the first time in human history,” according to a new report. The Global Commission on the Economics of Water, which is made up of global ...

Humanity has thrown the global water cycle off balance “for the first time in human history,” fueling a growing water disaster that will wreak havoc on economies, food production and lives ...
