Is a River Alive? is Robert Macfarlane's new book on water. Martin Goodman Profile tells the story of the Bishnoi people in India who would give their lives to save a tree. Jessica Riskin's upcoming book will upend your world.
Super Typhoon Rai devastated Batasan Island in Bohol, Philippines in December 2021. Trixy Elle's house was destroyed and her family was left homeless. 67 survivors of the typhoon sued Shell at the Royal Courts of Justice in December 2025, seeking compensation for the damages caused by climate change.
Sweetwater Authority's governing board approved a $65.6 million budget for fiscal year 2026-27 with no increase in water rates. The authority has the lowest water rates in San Diego County and provides reliable service to more than 200,000 residents in Chula Vista, National City and Bonita.
Delegates from more than 100 countries are in Geneva for the 19th annual gathering of the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, or EMRIP. They are discussing issues related to militarization, climate change, exploitation by extractive industries, biodiversity decline, shrinking civic space, and digital transformation.
The American Meteorological Society publishes research on climate, weather, and water in its 12 journals. Many of these articles are available via early online access. Some articles may require a subscription for full access. The study uses a climate model and a novel classification method to examine how atmospheric conditions favoring severe thunderstorms may change in a warmer climate.
Jamese Sims is an atmospheric scientist, meteorologist, educator, and assistant professor of meteorology at Jackson State University. She has written a book, Protect the House: Weather Doesn't Discriminate, But Impact Does, which explains why the same weather event can have dramatically different consequences from one community to another. The book is written for the general public as well as for Black and Brown communities.
For at least a decade, Corpus Christi sold water to a handful of large industrial plants at a steeply discounted rate. Residents and businesses paid more than $100 million to subsidize water for some of the world’s richest energy companies. Three years ago, the city doubled the companies’ water rates in an effort to correct the imbalance. The companies, including Valero, Citgo and LyondellBassell, protested to state regulators, sparking a legal battle that will come to a head today at a hearing in front of an independent state agency in Austin.
Jonathan Collazo's two restaurants in San Juan were without water for more than 50 days. The water shortages extend beyond San Juan, with sectors in municipalities including Loíza, Guaynabo, Bayamón and others experiencing interrupted service. The governor activated the national guard to distribute drinking water across the US territory.
The Yampa River is one of the last free-flowing rivers in the American west. It supplies water to more than 40 million people across seven states, dozens of tribes and parts of Mexico. The basin irrigates more than 5.5 acres (2.2 hectares) of farmland, fuels an estimated $1.4tn in economic activity, and provides critical habitat for more than 150 threatened or endangered species. The Colorado River is dangerously overdrawn and enormous cuts are needed to bring the basin back from the brink.
