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.
A common practice to suppress hydrogen evolution in aqueous electrochemistry is to adjust the alkalinity, so that the water reduction potential shifts downward to allow the use of anode materials otherwise prohibited under neutral or acidic conditions. What’s most important about our work is the breakthrough made at the fundamental level.

The atmosphere needs compensation for the escaped energy, which it gets from heat created as water vapor condenses into rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This in turn reduces the amount of water that evaporates. Essentially, precipitation acts as a heat source, making sure the atmosphere maintains a balance of energy.
The greatest potential hazard from a leaking underground storage tank is that the petroleum or other hazardous substances seep into the soil and contaminate groundwater, the source of drinking water for nearly one-third of all Americans. 3,712,000 to Maryland.
