The world’s oceans were the hottest ever recorded in 2022, demonstrating the profound and pervasive changes that human-caused emissions have made to the planet’s climate.

Wildfires pose significant risks to water supplies, often compromising the ability of water utilities to provide safe drinking water to the public. 

Science thrives on new ideas and a new study published last month, in the journal 'Nature', has floated an ambitious proposal for supplying much needed drinking water to arid regions near the ocean.

Science thrives on new ideas, and a new study published in the journal Nature last month has floated an ambitious proposal for supplying much-needed drinking water to arid regions near the ocean. It involves inventing a new technology to capture moisture-rich air rising off the surface of the ocean, and condensing it into fresh water.

IS YOUR ADDRESS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS?
If you reside within a city, chances are your water comes from the local water department. If you live in a rural area, your water may come from a well.

Brace yourself for some cold facts: the water on Earth is finite. What we have is what we get! Plus, according to the World Atlas, there are approximately 360,000 births every day, so our water supply requires more care than ever.

Fact: Most homes see the majority of their water footprint come from their indoor water use. Small adjustments to our daily routine can go a long way towards our water conservation efforts.

Coffee is 98.3% water and a little over 1% soluble plant matter. That’s a healthy helping of H2O! Water is both the main ingredient in your coffee and the solvent that extracts the oils from your coffee beans or grounds, so it’s pulling double duty.

Water makes up 75% of the Earth’s surface, so why is everyone concerned about finding enough adequate drinking water? The truth is, less than 1% of the Earth’s water is fresh water that we can drink. This 1% can become contaminated in a number of ways.

It's important to be proactive in creating prevention plans as well as formulating appropriate responses if preventable actions fail and your house...
