An international team of scientists using observations from NASA-German satellites found evidence that Earth’s total amount of freshwater dropped abruptly starting in May 2014 and has remained low ever since.

Researchers at the University of Stirling have been awarded a £670,000 grant to develop a new system for monitoring freshwater quality in the UK.

A new report by the British Standards Institution (BSI) is warning that low levels of trust in the UK’s water infrastructure, brought about by persistently high levels of sewage in the country’s waterways, is endangering public cooperation in reducing water use.

NASA has started the countdown for the 15 December SpaceX launch of the international Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission to survey nearly all water on Earth’s surface for the first time.

A new report is warning that that waterbodies and freshwater habitats across England, Wales and Northern Ireland are being devastated by poor water quality caused by agricultural waste, raw sewage, and pollution from abandoned mines.  

A new report published today by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) examining the critical threats to the world’s freshwater supplies as a result of global transboundary cooperation finds that the Transboundary river basins – which supply the world with half of its freshwater flows – are run by ineffective water management bodies.
