Gambian farmers had to abandon a field five years ago because of salt intrusion from the sea. The problem is a result of climate change and human activities that push ocean waters further inland. Coastal farmland is particularly hard hit. A 2025 study estimates that more than 3 percent of the world’s cropland could be affected by saltwater intrusion.
Brandon Ertis works for a water resources consulting firm called Davids Engineering in Chico, California. He and his colleagues studied the effects of the Park Fire in 2024 on Big Chico Creek, Deer Creek, and Mill Creek watersheds. They found that the biggest impact was on Mill Creek, followed by the Mill Creek and Big Chica Creek. The Battle Creek watershed was least impacted.

The high temperatures and lack of protection from direct sunlight dry out the lawn in summer. The amount of water a lawn needs depends on a number of factors, such as the air temperature, shade and the amount of precipitation. A flow meter or rain gauge can be used to measure exactly how much water the lawn needs.
Experts say Africa's biggest clean energy challenge is building institutions, markets and regulatory systems needed to deliver them at scale. Renewables generated 34% of the world's electricity in 2025, overtaking coal's 33%. They are expected to provide half of global electricity by 2030. Bloomberg Philanthropies initiative to strengthen clean energy industries in emerging and developing economies.
The southwest monsoon is expected to remain subdued over large parts of the country for at least another week. The prolonged dry spell comes after the monsoon made rapid progress across the country. The lull in monsoon activity could impact kharif sowing in regions dependent on consistent rainfall. July is a crucial month for crops such as paddy, soybean, cotton and pulses.
A woman was found dead in Missouri on Saturday after heavy rainfall battered parts of the state the previous day. The Army National Guard evacuated more than 200 children from Camp Taum Sauk. Faith Gregory went missing in Crawford County after her home was swept away from its foundation. The weather service issued flash flood warnings for the area.
Trinidad and Tobago declared a state of emergency in response to serious threats to public safety. The implications of emergency measures extend beyond the immediate security response. They influence how institutions operate, how communities function and how people navigate their daily lives during periods of uncertainty. Governments must respond to immediate threats while addressing the broader conditions that allow insecurity to persist.
