Desalination plants, a major and growing source of freshwater in dry regions, could produce less harmful waste using electricity and new membranes made at the University of Michigan.

New findings revealed that at any given flow rate, higher-pressure showers were associated with lower water consumption. While low-flow showers delivered less water than high-flow-rate showers, high-pressure showers used less water overall because they were turned off sooner.

By releasing cuttlefish ink—or a synthetic version—into the water, it may be possible to create a safe zone that deters sharks. This approach could provide a protective barrier, allowing divers to observe marine life without posing a threat to themselves or the sharks.

In a jaw-dropping annoucement, US President Trump announced that the US will take over the radicalization of the Gaza Strip and that the current population will need to be displaced as they rebuild and clear out the rubble.

All four medicinal plants used in the study demonstrated a notable transformation in turning contaminated water into drinkable water. More than any other plant, neem has proven to be effective at cleaning contaminated wate, the researchers note. Along with a value closer to that of neem, tulsi also possesses the ability to filter contaminated water.

Our Finnish friends did it before anyone we know and when we were in university we enjoyed a hot tub and then a jump in the snow. But cold water plunges, as our writer Brian does every year in the New Year is a growing trend that has emerged out of the Wim Hoth method. 

Washington State made history, becoming the first—and only—place in the world to successfully remove and permanently ban commercial net pen aquaculture.

The destruction of Gaza's two main aquaculture farms, along with the hatchery facility, has also left the sector unable to produce alternative aquatic foods through aquaculture.

As more time passes since the Egyptian dive yacht sunk on November 25, survivors are asking questions of how so many things could have gone wrong. From lack of batteries in the life vests, to leaking life rafts, to an unresponsive army. Why did it take more than 36 hours for those that couldn't escape the wreck to be rescued.
