(Natural News) Toxic “forever chemicals” from landfills, water treatment plans and other sources threaten the safety of potable water sources in the U.S., scientists claim. These polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) used in many household products do not break down and threaten to contaminate drinking water. They can cause many health problems when they accumulate in the body. Researchers […]

(Natural News) The state of California, alongside much of the western U.S., is again facing severe drought. The drought hitting the Golden State has notably threatened its agriculture. With about four-fifths of California’s developed water allocated to growing crops, the drought itself is enough to raise alarm bells. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor at […]

(Natural News) California dealt with an intense wildfire season that scorched about 10 million acres in 2020. This year, it looks like the state is in for another crisis in the form of extreme drought conditions. In fact, the Golden State’s drought conditions went from bad to worse in just a month.

But this perception may soon change with a new drought looming on the horizon, even as the valley is still reeling from earlier droughts. Reductions to water allotments at the state and federal levels, alongside California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s inaction, only worsen the problem. California […]

(Natural News) The bacteria responsible for Legionnaire’s disease live in water. But researchers warned that tiny water droplets containing the disease-causing Legionella microbe are floating in the air. Their study indicated that people might get infected if they inhaled the airborne droplets of contaminated water. Supported by Arizona State University (ASU) and Drexel University, the researchers investigated […]

(Natural News) The watering holes scattered throughout the Andes mountain range of Peru also serve as communication spots for Andean bears. A new study discovered that the bears left messages for each other on the plants near a source of water. Bears are known for their tree-rubbing behavior. They bite, claw, and rub parts of their bodies on […]

It’s particularly dangerous in places where toxic chemicals such as arsenic can be found as contaminants, thereby, putting the lives of people living in the area at great risk of arsenic poisoning. Now, a team of researchers has discovered a new […]

(Natural News) The good news for Fayetteville, North Carolina is that there is no GenX in their public drinking water supply despite the nearby presence of the Chemours chemical plant. The bad news is that their tap water showed high levels of another cancer-causing chemical called 1,4-dioxane, an article in The Fayetteville Observer stated. The […]

(Natural News) As traditional sources of water dry out or grow contaminated with pollution, we’ll need to find new ways to get the water we need. One method is fog harvesting, where you collect moisture from ground-level clouds. A Virginia-based research team has come up with a “fog harp” that collects thrice as much water as earlier […]
