The Utah Water Quality Board, in a 9-2 vote this week, agreed with the August 2012 recommendations of an administrative law judge (ALJ) upholding a permit-by-rule issued by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for the proposed PR Spring an oil sands mine on state land in eastern Utah. Overlay of the proposed plant site on the terrain.
AB 1328 gives California water agencies access to information on potentially hazardous chemicals used in oil and gas operations. OSPR has documented through numerous drills that some Spill Management Teams fail to adequately perform, endangering response employees and surrounding environment and communities.
A new satellite study finds more than 75% of the water loss in the drought-stricken Colorado River Basin since late 2004 came from underground resources. The extent of groundwater loss may pose a greater threat to the water supply of the western United States than previously thought. This is a lot of water to lose. Credit: U.S.

The environmental associations sued the Brandenburg Environment Agency after it approved increased water abstraction in Eggersdorf in 2020 without testing. The Strausberg-Erkner water association pumps most of its water from the Eggersdorf waterworks, located 13 km (8 miles) from Gigafactory Berlin. .
It reveals a greater range of natural hydroclimatic variability in the Colorado River than previously recognized, highlighting a need for water managers to adjust expectations and prepare for even more intense drought. Water managers may use this new extended dataset to understand past droughts better and plan for future droughts.
By using a water-lean post-combustion capture solvent, (N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-amine) (2-EEMPA), they achieved a greater than 90% conversion of captured CO 2 to hydrocarbons—mostly methane—in the presence of a heterogenous Ru catalyst under relatively mild reaction conditions (170 °C and 2 pressure).

Source: ARL. kWh of energy.
The US Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) announced up to $30 million in funding for a new program for technologies that use renewable energy to convert air and water into cost-competitive liquid fuels. ( Assumptions listed in the DE-FOA-0001562 document. DE-FOA-0001562 ). hydrogen or electricity).
Starfire Energy’s Rapid Ramp NH 3 ammonia synthesis technology produces zero carbon ammonia using only renewable energy, air, and water as inputs. This allows for the synthesis of documentably 100% green ammonia. The process can scale back to a zero capacity factor and rapidly scale right back to 100% or anywhere in between.
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) has completed its submittal of the design certification document for the Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor ( ESBWR ) to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)—a key milestone in deploying the new advanced nuclear reactor design. Earlier post.).
However, this story on water consumption seems to be more than just natural clever shaping, it seems seriously wrong. Water Supply, Researcher Says By Jennifer Bogo Popular Mechanics March 7, 2008 "A 30-mile commute in a gasoline-powered car would require the withdrawal of 18.9 Here is the story and the claims. gallons.

Our data document significant losses of soil carbon with permafrost thaw that, over decadal timescales, overwhelms increased plant carbon uptake at rates that could make permafrost a large biospheric carbon source in a warmer world. Permafrost. This increase offsets the release of old carbon from thawing.
The initial focus will be on three climate change science drivers and corresponding questions to be answered during the project’s initial phase: Water Cycle: How do the hydrological cycle and water resources interact with the climate system on local to global scales? The core of the ACME project is model development.

Four-hundred metres long, 59 meters wide and 73 meters high, the Triple-E is the largest vessel of any type on the water today, according to Mærsk. Two ‘ultra-long stroke’ engines turn two propellers, and specially optimized hull and bow forms guide the vessel through the water at the speeds typical in the industry today.
Hydraulic fracturing involves the high-pressure injection of water, sand and chemicals into a shale seam, which causes the rock to shatter, releasing natural gas. Researchers also would identify and document activities unrelated to shale gas development that have resulted in water contamination. —Charles Groat.

In a finding that has global implications for climate research, scientists have discovered that when icebergs cool and dilute the seas through which they pass for days, they also raise chlorophyll levels in the water that may in turn increase carbon dioxide absorption in the Southern Ocean. Helly, Ronald S. Kaufmann, Gordon R. Stephenson Jr.
On 9 December, EPA released a draft analysis of data from its Pavillion, Wyoming ground water investigation, indicating that ground water in the aquifer contains compounds likely associated with gas production practices, including hydraulic fracturing. Therefore, this area does not have a large continuous aquifer.
