Earth's Water Cycle Is Changing Dramatically, And Much Faster Than We Predicted

"Freshwater cycles from ocean to air to clouds to rivers and back to the oceans. This constant shuttling can give us the illusion of certainty. Freshwater will always come from the tap. Won't it?

Unfortunately, that's not guaranteed. Climate change is shifting where the water cycle deposits water on land, with drier areas becoming drier still, and wet areas becoming even wetter."

Software could help to save up to 80 per cent of water used on UAE farms

"The UAE's farmers can now use new software that helps to plan crop planting and also calculate how much water their land will need over a year.

A study carried out over many years to trace the flow of sap in date palm trees showed that farmers are using nearly three times as much water as they need to irrigate their plants.

It found that farmers typically irrigate each tree with about 300 litres of water a day.

However, by measuring the amount of sap flowing in the trunk of a date palm, researchers found they could cut that to 180 litres a day during the summer, and to as little as 60 to 80 litres in winter. This would save up to 80 per cent of the water used on the country's farms."

One Woman’s Mission to Fight Water Scarcity in Africa | Earth.Org - Past | Present | Future

"Dr. Sónia Santos Assunção, an experienced geophysicist with extensive experience in soil assessment, first successfully carried out Geophysical exploration to detect underground water in Ghana in 2016 with the support of Geo Analysis that provided the equipment, and given the straight-forward applicability and efficiency of the technologies she used, she decided to extend her scientific project beyond one country. The geophysicist will soon embark on a one-year journey across the African continent, travelling 24,000km to cross a total of 21 countries – from Cairo to Cape Town and from Cape Town to Tunisia – to evaluate the presence of underground sources of water and to teach locals how to acquire geophysical data (available satellite images and information will be provided by AQUAFUTURE Groundwater consultancy)."

Do You Know the Year when the concept of fluid mechanics was introduced ?

Fluid mechanics, an ancient Greek concept, was first introduced by Archimedes around 250 BC. The first law of fluid mechanics, the conservation of mass, states that mass is conserved within a control volume for constant-density fluids. Isaac Newton, an ancient Greek, first described fluid viscosity in his 1687 Principia. The origin of fluid dynamics can be traced back to Leonardo da Vinci, who was educated at Plato's Academy. The Reynolds theory of fluid mechanics explains the relationship between mass and viscosity.

Five Most Innovative Rain Water Harvesting Projects

Rainwater harvesting is known to be one of the most prominent solutions to the impending vulnerability of many watersheds all over the world due to climate change impacts. The rejuvenation of the watersheds with the help of innovative rainwater harvesting can prevent further deterioration of the basins. Below are the five most intelligent water harvesting methods adopted by the stakeholders to restore their watersheds which ensured their sustainability. Mega muddy rainwater harvesting System/project "Harvested water is used for fish farming, banana plantation, Sericulture, Floriculture and for other purposes." Story of Dhun "the first step for his dream project was to bring water to this dry land and using traditional water harvesting practices the land today has more than 8 waterbodies in it..." Rain Water Harvesting in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda "There is hardly a place in the world where it never rains. Rainwater belongs to everyone. And the methods to coll
