Scientists just found a new way to make hydrogen from water
A new light-activated material can efficiently produce hydrogen from water without requiring an additional expensive metal catalyst. Researchers say its unusual sulfur-based chemistry could point toward cheaper and more practical ways to turn sunlight into clean fuel.

AI & water,
"Experts stress that, overall, data center water consumption pales in comparison to the usage by industries like agriculture and some kinds of manufacturing. Researchers have estimated that data center cooling systems consumed 66 billion liters of water in 2023, less than 1 percent of the nation’s total consumption."

Throwback to a month ago for #WaterfallWednesday... Three hours earlier we were ~800 meters higher up, just below the summit of that peak in the background and the near the beginning of this ravine...
With the next heatwave moving in this week, the great melting of these glaciers will accelerate again... 😢

After Decades of Drought, Water Is Rising in the African Sahel
Warming has brought extreme rain to the parched Sahel, which is seeing aquifers refill as monsoons grow stronger. But heavier downpours alone cannot explain the groundwater revival, say hydrologists, who believe efforts to harvest rainfall may also be paying dividends.

Ondertussen al 4 weken geen druppel regen hier in de noord Franse Ardennen. Riviertje achter ons huis stroomt nog, maar we kunnen de bodem zien.
We hebben triage gedaan en planten, struiken en bomen geselecteerd die we water geven.
De voorspellingen zien er warm en droog uit.

One of America’s largest reservoirs just hit a record low
Lake Powell has fallen to its lowest level on record after an exceptionally dry and warm winter left the Colorado River Basin with little mountain snow to melt. Lake Mead also reached record lows, raising concerns for a river system that supplies water and power to more than 40 million people. Federal officials have taken emergency steps to stabilize Lake Powell, including sending in water from another reservoir and reducing releases downstream.

My contribution to the #Fotovorschlag 'Fließendes Wasser' / 'flowing water' is one of my best photos.
I was just super lucky that the stairs were so flooded, that I took the tripod with me (despite not knowing whether I'd need it) and my wife having the patience to wait patiently for the whole photo-session.
Enjoy :-)
