Public health officials have long known that sewage-ladened coastal waters threaten the health of swimmers and surfers. However, new research shows that this common form of water pollution might also pose health risks to those who stay ashore. Bacteria and pollutants found in sewage-tainted water can be ejected into the atmosphere via sea spray aerosols—tiny droplets that form […]

The project involves building a 4.5-mile pipeline that will carry recycled water to vineyards and parks on the east side of the city. “I think it’ll save water and it goes back into the ground,” said Doris Vermi, who […]
If passed, a bill in the Nevada Legislature would urge the United States Bureau of Reclamation to consider more measures to protect and manage the Colorado River.

Following three consecutive years of drought in California, the Sierra Nevada snowpack is one of the most bountiful in more than 40 years. While the record snowpack and snow water equivalent is great news for water supply, there are concerns the record snowpack could create flooding issues.
California and Colorado are both receiving impressive amounts of snow. That’s good for us because snow in the Rocky Mountains ultimately ends up in the Colorado River, which leads to Lake Mead. That snow is hitting places like the Copper Mountain Ski Resort, which sits 9,700 feet up in Frisco, Colorado. That’s about an hour […]
California’s unusually stormy winter is promising good news for the state’s struggling hydropower industry. After three years of extreme drought, winter weather has driven up the most populous U.S. state’s snow levels to 235% of normal, according to the latest figures from the California Department of Water Resources. That’s likely to fill up hydro reservoirs […]
