They act as a source of carbon and energy for stygofauna—the animals that inhabit groundwater systems—by deriving energy through the oxidation of inorganic molecules.

As the Colorado River’s reservoirs have declined, even larger amounts of groundwater have been drained from aquifers. Using satellite data, scientists have estimated the vast water losses.

New research shows that persistent groundwater extraction over more than a decade has shifted the axis on which our planet rotates.

A new study found that land use (agricultural or forested) and the season (wet or dry) significantly impact groundwater quality, but in different ways.

Across the world there’s a rapid depletion in the underground reserves of water that billions of people rely on for drinking, irrigation and other uses, new research has found.

Groundwater depletion is worsening in many of the world’s farming regions. But a global study also found that some efforts are helping to boost aquifers.

Groundwater is the largest source of unfrozen freshwater on the planet. Even though it’s underground, climate change is heating this reservoir up.

The Natural Resources Board launched the process to set standards for several PFAS in groundwater, launching the process for third time.

Mercury, PFAS and other harmful pollutants are moving in a chemical plant site's groundwater into the Detroit River — at up to 60 gallons per minute.
