Research to secure a safe water supply
World Water Day on Sunday, 22 March aims to raise public awareness of the increasing scarcity of clean drinking water on our planet. In a densely populated world, droughts and floods are causing more damage than ever before. view more (2009-03-20)
Getting into hot water
An analysis of the engineering and economics for a solar water-heating system shows it to have a payback period of just two years, according to researchers in India. They report, in the International Journal of Global Energy Issues, on the success of the 1000-liter system operating at a university hostel. view more (2009-03-09)
Water is 'designer fluid' that helps proteins change shape, scientists say
Ubiquitous on Earth, water also has been found in comets, on Mars and in molecular clouds in interstellar space. Now, scientists say this common fluid is not as well understood as we thought. view more (2008-08-07)
Identifying the 'signatures' of protons in water
Free protons from acids associate with 1, 2 or 3 molecules of water and the structures can be identified by unique infrared laser spectrum signatures, according to a report in Science by Yale professor of chemistry Mark A. Johnson and his collaborators at Yale, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Georgia. view more (2005-07-14)

Affibody and Astra Tech today announce the initiation of a license and research agreement. The scope is development of devices for safe blood management. view more (2004-09-16)
Hotter is better for removing allergens in laundry
A new study finds that the heat setting you choose when doing laundry makes all the difference when it comes to killing dust mites. view more (2007-05-21)
CRANFIELD PUMPS WATER TO UGANDA
A new drilling rig developed by Cranfield University at Silsoe as part of the research project, "Private Sector Participation in Low Cost Water Well Drilling in Africa" received it's first public demonstration this week. The project aims to place new water supply technology in the hands of small private sector contractors in African... view more... (2000-09-26)
Climate models help scientists understand global shifts in water availability
USGS scientists have a clearer picture of global shifts in water availability after examining a century of streamflow measurements from 165 locations around the world. view more (2005-11-17)
Contact lens wearers in southern England at nine times the risk of serious eye infection
Contact lens wearers living in southern England are at nine times the risk of developing serious eye infection, finds research in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. Hard water could be to blame, suggest the authors. The research team examined feedback from the British Ophthalmic Surveillance Unit on new cases of acanthamoeba keratitis reported... view more...

Fuzzy logic water quality
A fuzzy logic approach to analyzing water quality could help reduce the number of people in the developing world forced to drink polluted and diseased water for survival. view more (2008-04-18)
Dartmouth study finds that arsenic inhibits DNA repair
Dartmouth researchers, working with scientists at the University of Arizona and at the Department of Natural Resources in Sonora, Mexico, have published a study on the impact of arsenic exposure on DNA damage. view more (2006-05-30)
Equations against hypothermia
Sharks are, by tradition, the eternal threat facing divers. Yet, a diver is quite a lot more unlikely to meet such a creature under the water than, at some time or another, to come up against an even greater danger - hypothermia, or exposure. To enable divers to prevent this syndrome from creeping silently up on them, two researchers from the Area... view more... (2004-09-01)
Sugar coupled to protein causes kidneys to save water
Several new mechanisms that are important for the production and transport of water channels to the cell surface of kidneys have been identified by a Dutch researcher. The water channels ensure that water in the body is reused. If these fail to work properly, you urinate too much and dehydrate. The research was a collaborative project between the... view more...

Century of data shows intensification of water cycle but no increase in storms or floods
A review of the findings from more than 100 peer-reviewed studies shows that although many aspects of the global water cycle have intensified, including precipitation and evaporation, this trend has not consistently resulted in an increase in the frequency or intensity of tropical storms or floods over the past century. view more (2006-03-16)
Sandia, task force to study ways ocean and wastewater can be desalinized in California
Researchers from the National Nuclear Security Administration's Sandia National Laboratories, together with fellow members of the Joint Water Reuse & Desalination Task Force, in coming months will be studying the best ways to desalinize-and make potable-ocean water, subsurface brines, and wastewater. view more (2005-09-07)
Water at Martian south pole
Thanks to ESA's Mars Express, we now know that Mars has vast fields of perennial water ice, stretching out from the south pole of the Red Planet. Astronomers have known for years that Mars possessed polar ice caps, but early attempts at chemical analysis suggested only that the northern cap could be composed of water ice, and the southern cap... view more...

Is tap water safe for expectant mothers?
Drinking water disinfected by chlorine while pregnant may increase the risk of having children with heart problems, cleft palate or major brain defects, according to a study published today in BioMed Central's open access journal Environmental Health. view more (2008-06-03)
Pesticides Persist in Ground Water
Numerous studies over the past four decades have established that pesticides, which are typically applied at the land surface, can move downward through the unsaturated zone to reach the water table at detectable concentrations. view more (2008-07-02)
