Future proofing Indian cities is an innovative approach that engages multiple stakeholders in strengthening the blue-green infrastructure of cities in the context of urbanisation and climate change. Blue-green infrastructure includes both natural and

The impacts of climate change on glaciers are evident across the mountain regions of the world and are contributing to various hazards and vulnerabilities, including increased risk of glacial outburst flood and reduced water resources. Capacity building

Unlike previous studies that relied only on remote sensing data to track changes in aquifer groundwater storage, a new study combines this data with sustainability indicators to analyze the world’s largest aquifers. Combining drought data with the indicators provides a new method of quantifying and monitoring aquifer sustainability through time and continued use.

As some fire-scarred watersheds in Canada turn black from wild fire soot, the prospects of more fires burning bigger and more often is bound to further degrade water flowing in and out of Canadian forests. To prevent further water loss and decreases in quality, policymakers must develop a strategy or contend with poor preparations for future fires.

The Maharashtra government has identified 201 villages in 32 districts that are facing water scarcity owing to deficient rainfall in the southwest monsoon season. This is an increase from the 14,679 villages that were drought-stricken last year, triggering a decline in crop yields and intensifying concerns over an already limited water supply.

A project to create 22 emergency water "islands" across Wellington has just been completed so that no one has to walk more than one kilometre to get clean water after a quake. Funded by local and central governments, the new project seeks to protect the city's lifelines from disaster damage.

After climate-induced sea level rises began harming the mangroves in Djibouti's once vibrant desert, the government, UN Environment, and partners collaborated to help the community restore forest areas, unblock canals, and improve the drinking water supply. Thanks to this successful project, new mangroves now dot the desert and offset saltwater intrusion.

A new method for observing water within ice has revealed stored meltwater that may explain the complex flow behaviour of some Greenland glaciers.
