  1. HB2758 would allow a New York investment fund to drain 26 billion gallons of groundwater from La Paz County aquifers, eliminating the only state law protecting groundwater for rural communities. La Paz County supervisors are asking for more regulation, not less. The bill passed the House and awaits a Senate floor vote.

  2. Thanks to the team at Wombeyan Caves for another successful groundwater research fieldtrip.

    Cave drip loggers were downloaded for the last 7 months. Drip water and groundwater samples wwre collected for tracer analysis. The drip logger sites from the 2000s and the research of Janece McDonald were inspected. A Syp water sampler was installed, maybe it will work. And impromptu sci-comm occurred with cave tours groups.

    The loggers recorded only one recharge event here since our last visit in September with @michcampbell. It was pretty dry.

  7. Where in Europe is tap water the most and least safe?

    Water purity varies across Europe, with Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Czech Republic having some of the most polluted groundwater on the continent.

  29. A More Troubling Picture of Sea Level Rise Is Coming into View

    Scientists have uncovered a “blind spot” in the research on rising seas, revealing that tens of millions of people thought safe from coastal flooding are at risk of inundation. Across much of the world, sea levels are higher than previously assumed and land is sinking faster.

    By Fred Pearce • April 9, 2026

    Excerpt: "The other new study focused on the world’s #RiverDeltas. It has long been known that many #deltas are sinking under the influence of #Groundwater pumping. But as Robert Nicholls, climate adaptation researcher at the University of East Anglia, notes, 'There have been lots of different estimates.' Data were inconsistent and based on crude, delta-wide estimates. 'Now at last we have a consistent data set, with high spatial resolution.'

    "That data comes from Leonard Ohenhen, an earth system scientist at the University of California, Irvine, who used satellite-mounted radar to produce 3D maps of subsidence on 40 of the world’s biggest and most populous river deltas. He has found that subsidence afflicts more than half those deltas. Most startlingly, in 18 cases subsidence rates exceed those of #RisingTides — hence, more than doubling the effective yearly rise in local sea levels, and in some cases multiplying it tenfold.

    "This again puts tens of millions of people once thought safe from rising tides this century in imminent harm’s way, including those living on the deltas of the #Nile in #Egypt, the #Mekong in #Vietnam, the #Mahanadi in #India, and the #YellowRiver in #China. If the current rate of subsidence persists, these areas will be flooded much sooner than thought.

    "Researchers say many deltas and other low-lying coastal areas not included in the two studies are at greater risk than believed and urgently require detailed investigation of both actual sea levels and the rate of land subsidence."

  34. 🌳 🌲 🍃

    That's interesting.

    More groundwater is formed under beech forests than under pine forests. This has been shown by scientists at the Thünen Institute for Forest Ecosystems. This finding is important for drinking water supply and forest conversion in Germany.

    Perhaps it's relevant for your country too.

  37. Low Snow Reserves – again.

    Switzerland heads into spring with 30–60 % of normal snowpack. Less melt = less groundwater recharge. Rain gauges won't show you what's underground. Direct measurement will.
