A recent study by the National Academy of Sciences in Mexico has revealed that bottled water, far from being a completely safe option, may contain up to 240,000 pieces of plastic per liter, including nanoplastics, tiny particles associated with...
Tartar, that persistent calcium buildup that forms in faucets, pipes, appliances, and various surfaces in the home, is much more than just a simple aesthetic nuisance. Its insidious presence can trigger a series of significant and costly problems, affecting...
The low flow of the Iguazú River is noticeable in the Iguazú Falls in recent weeks. The normal flow of this wonder of the world is 1500 m3/s and, just a few years ago, in April 2020, it reached...
Microplastics represent a growing concern for human health, but a recent study suggests that boiling water could be a simple and effective method to reduce their concentration in tap water.
A team of researchers from China conducted tests with waters...
A recent study published in the journal Science has revealed a concerning decrease in terrestrial water reserves (TWS, for its acronym in English), which includes soil moisture, groundwater, and surface water bodies.
The findings indicate that this decline, likely irreversible...
The work on the transference of water from the RÃo Grande to the Atuel River, which promised years ago to help alleviate the water crisis in Mendoza, is still pending.
The Province has the right to use 34 m3/s that...
