NASA | Aquarius Water Cycle

Scientists need a breadth of information to understand the ocean's processes. That's where Aquarius comes in: the sensor will use advanced technologies to give NASA its first space-based measurements of sea surface salinity, helping scientists to improve predictions of future climate trends and events.

Water on the Table (Bullfrog Films clip)

A film by Liz Marshall

LANCE GRANDE, PH.D.



Dr. Lance Grande's research covers many aspects of fossil and living fishes, including the early development of North American freshwater fish fauna. Over the last 25 years, Lance has led more than 20 field trips to collect fossils from Fossil Lake, a 52-million-year-old lake bed in Wyoming. Thanks to his efforts, The Field Museum currently boasts the world's largest and most extensive fossil collection from the Green River Formation.
Learn more about Lance’s fossil fishing in the 52-million-year-old Fossil Butte Member of the Green River Formation by watching the video below.

Waterlife

Directed by Kevin McMahon
Produced by Kristina Mclaughlin, Michael McMahon, Gerry Flahive (NFB)

Waterlife tells the epic story of the Great Lakes by following the cascade of its water from northern Lake Superior to the Atlantic Ocean, through the lives of some of the 35 million people who rely on the lakes for survival.

San Francisco water meters get smart

In the future, San Francisco residents will be able to monitor and track their water usage via Web software on the hour instead of monthly, which is the case now. The new automated water meters will be connected to a little gray box that houses a low radio frequency signal and collects data. SmartPlanet visits the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to see how it works.

Helping Haitians access safe drinking water

LifeGivingForce CEO Jim Chu demonstrates one of the solar-powered water purification systems the foundation is sending to Haiti to combat cholera and provide safe, clean and accessible water to people there.

MIT using sunrays to make clean water

MIT researchers Steve Dubowsky, Amy Bilton and Leah Kelly have created a solar-powered portable desalination system that could make clean drinking water available in countries that need it most. Using a process called reverse osmosis, the solar panel powers different pumps in the system that then force the seawater through a permeable membrane that filtrates the salt from the water. SmartPlanet shows you a time-lapse video sequence of the process.

In this video interview, CEO Tom Albanese discusses the economics of water, the role of climate change, and how Rio Tinto is adapting its operations and seeking to make water management a source of advantage. Bill Javetski, an editor with the McKinsey Publishing group, conducted the interview with Tom Albanese in Durham, North Carolina.

Michael Pritchard turns filthy water drinkable

Too much of the world lacks access to clean drinking water. Engineer Michael Pritchard did something about it -- inventing the portable Lifesaver filter, which can make the most revolting water drinkable in seconds. An amazing demo from TEDGlobal 2009.
