(Natural News) An energy expert has called the power emergency in Texas a “system-wide failure” at nearly every level that could have been prevented for a steep price. Jesse Jenkins, assistant professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University, pointed out that homes in Texas are not designed to deal with very cold weather, which caused customers […]

(Natural News) Experts say an ancient river system complete with streams, valleys and tributaries once flowed on Mars following new images from the Mars Express spacecraft. Spanning nearly 435 miles across the planet’s surface and located south of the planet’s equator, the river system – named Nirgal Vallis by scientists from the European Space Agency (ESA) – was said to have been […]

(Natural News) Water is essential for survival. People know that truism well enough to keep their storage tanks full. Yet when SHTF, most of these tanks won’t be big enough to last a year’s worth of drinking water. As this prized commodity slowly runs out, the need for a new water source, such as a nearby well or rainwater, will become increasingly clear. Here […]

(Natural News) Researchers from Italy have discovered strong evidence of hypersaline lakes beneath the south pole of Mars, raising the possibility that Martian life may be swimming in briny waters. In their study, published in Nature Astronomy, the researchers detected a few anomalous areas beneath the Martian south pole using the radar instrument aboard the European Space Agency‘s Mars Express orbiter. Analysis of […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in the journal Science Advances suggests that water may have emerged naturally on rocky planets instead of originating from asteroids or comets. Researchers from France, Denmark and Japan studied a meteorite from Mars nearly as old as the solar system. Based on the rock fragments that constitute the meteorite, the researchers found […]

(Natural News) Since 1945, local governments have added fluoride to public drinking water supplies to reduce the rates of tooth decay. Now, over 207 million people in the U.S. received fluoridated drinking water — nearly three-quarters of the population served by community water systems. Hailed as a major public health accomplishment of the 21st century, community water […]

(Natural News) The dual-flush toilet wastes more water than it conserves, warned the U.K.’s largest water firm. In a recent report, conservation group Waterwise also estimated that between five to eight percent of U.K. toilets are leaking, with most of them being dual-flush. While designed to save water, the dual-flush toilet’s unique mechanism and its […]

(Natural News) Mars may have multiple lakes hidden beneath ice, suggests a recent study published in the journal Nature Astronomy. The discovery comes as a 2018 study previously found evidence of a large saltwater lake beneath the Martian south pole, a finding met with both excitement and skepticism. Since this assertion, an international team of researchers is supporting the […]

(Natural News) The Japanese utility company in charge of the nuclear power plant devastated by the tsunami in Fukushima has warned that it will run out of storage space for significant amounts of contaminated water within the next two years, pressuring the government and the public to decide how to proceed. At the Dai-ichi plant, […]

(Natural News) If you assume your tap water must be safe to drink because you haven’t heard otherwise, you could be gambling with your health. Seven years ago, the American Society for Civil Engineers issued a warning that most of the country’s drinking water infrastructure was “nearing the end of its useful life.” Not much […]
