Groundwater sustains life, from farming to wild animals. But we don’t fully know how quickly it recharges.

South-west Australia relies on groundwater for three-quarters of its water use. But a new study of the region’s caves has found a drying climate is having a dramatic impact on this precious resource.
When groundwater comes to the surface, sunlight and air convert organic molecules to greenhouse gases. That’s going to be a problem as we will need this water more as the world warms.
There’s enough water under the ground to form a lake 100m deep over the earth.
A new study looking at mineral deposits in caves is revealing insights into climate from the distant past.
A new technique that uses lasers to determine the composition of groundwater is helping us protect that most precious resource.
Stalagmites in Scottish preserve 3,000 years of climate history, suggesting human migration is linked to wet and dry periods.
