Researchers partially funded by the NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP) designed a scaled-up electrochemical system that combines electricity with the mineral pyrite, a mineral commonly found in the environment, to continuously remove organic and heavy metal contaminants from groundwater for a year. The study was led by Akram Alshawabkeh, Ph.D., from the Northeastern University SRP Center, and Kitae Baek, Ph.D., from Jeonbuk National University in Korea.
Last week, news broke that the depletion of groundwater across the Colorado River Basin has been quietly, rapidly outpacing the more visible decline of the river itself. Even as the seven basin states negotiate reduced consumption of river water—inevitably driving dependence toward local aquifers instead—this newly published research shows that the majority ofmost of the water lost throughout the basin in recent years has been underground. In the Lower Colorado River Basin alone, groundwater has accounted for 71% of total water supply loss. Jay Famiglietti, a longtime contributor to Ten Across, specializes in the use of satellite data to monitor the world's groundwater mass. His team's new findings focus on the U.S. Southwest—a region at the forefront of the nation's water supply challenges and the complex balances between resource limitations and economic growth. As states and cities in the Colorado River Basin and elsewhere develop water management strategies to sustain themselves through future constraints, a growing understanding of groundwater supply is key to effective proactive policy. It is increasingly clear that time is of the essence for this uniquely finite resource. Listen in as Ten Across founder Duke Reiter and Jay Famiglietti discuss the concrete findings in this report, the immediate and long-term implications for agriculture in the Southwest, and Jay's motivations for raising awareness of groundwater usage in the Ten Across region and beyond.

This webinar will discuss groundwater and surface water interactions in two presentations: Part I: Introduction (Judy Canova) Typical interactions between groundwater and surface water may vary in different regions depending on the types of climate that occur. This introduction focuses on principles and rudimentary cost-effective techniques that can be used to evaluate groundwater-surface water interactions with the expectation that groundwater discharge to surface water is typically not homogeneous and diffuse but rather heterogeneous and focused on preferential pathways of discharge. Case studies illustrating the evaluation of groundwater and surface water will be presented to demonstrate principles of characterization as well as the concepts of heterogeneity. Part II: Bonita Peak Case Study and CSM (Ian Bowen) This presentation will cover a geophysics characterization approach used to understand ground water/surface water interactions at the Bonita Peak Mining District Superfund Site, and the impact the findings had on the Conceptual Site Model.

About the Guest: Mason Voehl is the Executive Director of the Amargosa Conservancy, which works to protect and celebrate the valuable ecosystems within the Amargosa Basin. Voehl's work includes a special focus on groundwater management near Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Episode Summary: In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke discusses the recent conservation victory concerning lithium drilling near Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge with Mason Voehl, Executive Director of the Amargosa Conservancy. As the episode unfolds, listeners are taken through the journey that led to a significant win for preserving this crucial desert oasis. The discussion focuses on how public support and science-based advocacy led to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's recent decision to temporarily halt mining exploration that potentially threatens the sensitive groundwater systems crucial for the area's biodiversity. The conversation covers the unique ecological importance of Ash Meadows, home to numerous endemic species, and the continuous threats posed by Rover Critical Minerals' lithium exploration plans. Mason Voehl explains the strategic use of an administrative mineral withdrawal process to secure a 20-year pause on new claims that could disrupt the ecosystem. Furthermore, the dialogue explores the broader implications of mining, water conservation, and policy engagement, presenting a case study of community resilience and collaborative conservation efforts. This episode serves as a testament to achieving impactful environmental protection through grassroots activism, scientific grounding, and governmental engagement. Key Takeaways: Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is a crucial biodiversity hotspot with rare and unique desert water sources. Public and community-driven advocacy is vital in attaining conservation victories against large-scale industrial developments. Temporary segregation of affected lands by the BLM can pave the way for potential long-term environmental protections. The Devil's Hole pupfish, an endangered species, plays a significant role in shaping water management strategies. Active community involvement and strategic litigation can leverage bureaucratic processes to secure ecological safeguards. Notable Quotes: "Ash Meadows is the largest remaining oasis in the Mojave Desert and it is a biodiversity hotspot of international importance." – Mason Voehl "For a long time we have hated and resented the Devil's Hole pupfish. And now it's the pupfish's turn to save us." – Mason Voehl "We only got to this point because the local communities really believed in what we were doing." – Mason Voehl Resources: Amargosa Conservancy: amargosaconservancy.org Sign up for the AC's newsletter: amargosaconservancy.org/newsletters/ 90 Miles from Needles Patreon (sign up for free to join our new community of desert defenders): 90milesfromneedles.com/patreon Follow Amargosa Conservancy on social media for updates: Facebook: Facebook.com/AmargosaConserv Instagram: Instagram.com/amargosaconserv/ Listen to this episode to gain deeper insights into desert conservation strategies and the power of community-driven environmental action.

Theater artists Annalisa Dias and Tara Moses are the co-directors of Groundwater Arts, an organization they founded in 2018 — along with Anna Lathrop and Ronee Penoi — to braid together goals that at first might seem disparate: decolonizing the arts-and-culture field and striving for a climate-just future.Guided and inspired all along by an advisory council as well as a youth council, Groundwater Arts has created countless opportunities — whether through creative projects, consulting or virtual and in-person gatherings — for cultural institutions to learn how they can start dismantling structural inequities that for generations have exacerbated the climate crisis and have primarily harmed communities of color. Groundwater Arts adheres to the principles listed in “Green New Theater,” a document the co-founders wrote to guide American theaters in responding to the climate crisis.In this interview, Annalisa and Dias describe the diligence and integrity with which they created and continue to run Groundwater Arts, offering a blueprint for artists and institutions looking to align their practices with justice, sustainability and true collaboration.https://www.groundwaterarts.com/https://www.groundwaterarts.com/green-new-theatre.html
Dr. Kanjana Thepboriruk sits down with Dr. Melissa Lenczewski to discuss groundwater quality and testing in Southeast Asia and the United States. Together they bring to light how Arsenic and Microplastics have a strong presence in the water quality of countries that have poor infrastructure for testing and regulation, and the issue of water quality could lead to permanent structural damage if not properly monitored. Dr. Melissa Lenczewski is a professor of Hydrogeology in the Department of Earth, Atmosphere, and Environment at Northern Illinois University, a specialist in groundwater testing, and a Fullbright Research scholar of Cambodia and Thailand.
Las Vegas owes its very existence to groundwater. Native peoples relied on natural springs that bubbled to the surface; early settlers farmed using water from the springs and groundwater aquifer; and Las Vegas became a townsite because the railroad needed a stop where it could refill its steam locomotive water tanks. The Las Vegas Springs stopped flowing in 1962, but Southern Nevada still relies on the groundwater aquifer for 10 percent of its water supply. Learn more about groundwater and how the Southern Nevada Water Authority helps protect the aquifer on the Water Smarts Podcast, “WHAT LIES BENEATH: Southern Nevada groundwater is a hidden resource for the community.”Hosts: Bronson Mack and Crystal Zuelkehttps://www.snwa.com/https://www.snwa.com/
In late August, Russian Riverkeeper and the California Coastkeeper Alliance got what looks like a very significant ruling in their challenge to Sonoma County's well permitting ordinance. The groups say that by allowing excessive and unmonitored groundwater extraction, the County is failing to protect surface flows in creeks and rivers that fish, wildlife, and recreation need. The court agreed, holding that under the Public Trust doctrine, Sonoma County has an affirmative duty to take the public trust into account in the planning and allocation of water resources, and to protect public trust uses whenever feasible,” but that the County failed to do so, overlooking impacts on the public trust, including cumulative effects.In this episode of the EcoNews Report, Friends of the Eel River Conservation Director Scott Greacen and EPIC Executive Director Tom Wheeler talk to three people deeply involved in these questions.• Rue Furch, former Sonoma County planning commissioner and veteran Russian River advocate.• Don McEnhill, the Executive Director of Russian Riverkeeper.• Drev Hunt, Legal Director for California Coastkeeper, and one of the attorneyson the case, with Jaime Neary of Russian Riverkeeper, Daniel Cooper of SycamoreLaw, and Amy Minteer and Michelle Black of Carstens, Black and Minteer LLP.Further reading:• A Landmark Victory for California Waters - California Coastkeeper Alliance • Why You Should Care About the Public Trust Doctrine - Russian Riverkeeper Support the show

We are joined by an all-star team from the Utah Geological Survey – Hugh Hurlow, Program Manager of the Groundwater and Wetlands Program, Paul Inkenbrandt, Senior Geologist, and Emily Jainarain, Hydrogeologist, to discuss the new UGS Utah Groundwater Data Hub. The new Hub combines UGS's existing groundwater data and is built to grow and include other datasets as the site develops. This is an extremely informative resource to find science backed information about ground water level trends, watershed information, and how groundwater informs critical issues like the Great Salt Lake.
A study released by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory explored groundwater extraction and how growing demand will affect remaining resources. Scientists focused on when and where groundwater levels could peak, meaning the water becomes so inaccessible that deeper wells or costly equipment are needed to meet demand. As it becomes more difficult to access groundwater, international agriculture could be affected and the cost of food could rise.

Bob Crane starred as Colonel Robert E. Hogan, the lead of Hogan's Heroes, an American television sitcom airing from 1965 to 1971. It was set in a prisoner of war camp in Nazi Germany during World War II. He was murdered on June 29th, 1978 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The crime remains unsolved to this day. Today on the Murder Diaries, we're speaking with Bob Crane's official biographers, Carol Ford, and Linda Groundwater. Together, we discussed Bob's life, career, and unsolved murder, and how he went from a middle-class kid born in Waterbury, Connecticut, to a Hollywood star and the lead of Hogan's Heroes.
