Groundwater flow modelling is a critical tool in the management and protection of water resources, especially in the context of both confined and unconfined aquifers. Confined aquifers, bounded by ...

Water security is essential for the sustainability of healthy human populations, economic growth, and the stability of communities and nations. Approximately 30% of all freshwater on Earth exists as ...

Researchers from Princeton University and the University of Arizona have created a simulation that maps underground water on a continental scale. The result of three years' work studying groundwater ...

New research shows that persistently pumping groundwater has shifted Earth's axis. The reason is that we're moving all that water mass from under the continents to the oceans. Most groundwater ends up ...

Mars was once a wet world. The geological record of the Red Planet shows evidence for water flowing on the surface -- from river deltas to valleys carved by massive flash floods. But a new study shows ...

Even though groundwater only makes up an estimated 0.61% of the water on Earth, it accounts for 98% of the available freshwater (Fetter, 1999). In many parts of the world (including southwestern North ...

California might step in to regulate groundwater use in part of the crop-rich San Joaquin Valley, which would be a first-of-its-kind move that comes a decade after lawmakers tasked local communities ...

The water beneath our feet is vanishing, putting people, plants and animals at risk in the Nevada desert. An August study published in the academic journal Hydrological Processes uses publicly ...
