Scientists have proven that drones with radar can map buried ice on Mars, showing exactly where future missions should drill for water. This breakthrough could transform how we find resources to support human exploration of the Red Planet.
NASA's Curiosity rover just sent back stunning images of web-like rock formations on Mars that reveal water existed on the Red Planet far longer than scientists thought. The discovery could reshape our understanding of when Mars could have supported life.
For two decades, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been quietly revolutionizing our understanding of the Red Planet's watery past. The spacecraft just hit a major milestone while continuing to scout landing sites for future astronauts.
NASA's Curiosity rover just captured stunning new images of spiderweb-like formations on Mars that suggest liquid water existed on the Red Planet far longer than scientists believed. The discovery brings fresh hope in the search for ancient Martian life.
NASA's Curiosity rover has discovered high concentrations of hematite on Mars, a mineral that only forms in water-rich environments. The find on Vera Rubin Ridge offers the strongest evidence yet that the Red Planet once had conditions favorable for life.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered that warm, potentially life-friendly water existed deep beneath Mars' surface for up to 4.7 million years, long after the planet's climate turned cold. Tiny iron crystals in Martian rock revealed this hidden story of ancient habitable conditions.
Scientists discovered that Martian soil naturally slows down microscopic animals called tardigrades, but a simple water wash changes everything. This tiny breakthrough could help protect Mars from Earth germs while making the red planet safer for future astronauts.
A new University of South Carolina study found bottled water contains dramatically fewer disinfection byproducts than tap water. The research offers reassuring news for the billions of people worldwide who choose bottled water every day.
Ghana Water Limited just took a major step toward turning its quality water into a thriving business everyone can access. The company launched a new leadership board to transform its G-Water brand into one of Ghana's most trusted bottled water options.
A new modular water filter system from Swiss gear maker Katadyn can transform even stagnant pond water into safe drinking water anywhere on Earth. The three-stage Explorer system is already being used by disaster relief teams and expedition professionals worldwide.
While illegal mining threatens water quality across Ghana, one organization is providing clean drinking water to over two million people in rural communities. Safe Water Network uses underground sources and pristine lake water to keep families safe.
A massive 1,300-kilometer valley on Mars is offering scientists fresh evidence that the Red Planet once hosted an ocean during a warmer, wetter era. New images from the Mars Express spacecraft show dramatic flood channels, collapsed terrain, and volcanic features that paint a picture of ancient water reshaping an entire world.
Rand Water has finished the first phase of a massive maintenance project, restoring full capacity to major pumping stations serving millions across four provinces. The successful upgrades mark a milestone in strengthening South Africa's long-term water security.
NASA's Perseverance rover just discovered a buried ancient river delta on Mars dating back 3.7 billion years, the oldest proof yet that water once flowed on the Red Planet. The find strengthens hope that Mars could have once supported life.
Three new boreholes are transforming daily life for over 40,000 residents in Ogun State, Nigeria, ending long walks for water and reducing disease risk. The Rachael Abeje Salako Memorial Foundation marked World Water Day by showcasing how simple infrastructure can change entire communities.
Scientists created a solar-powered desalination system that turns seawater into fresh water without chemicals or harmful waste. The breakthrough could help 2.2 billion people without clean water while extracting valuable minerals like lithium.
More than 50,000 people in Ghana's Eastern and Ahafo regions are waking up to clean water flowing close to home, ending dangerous daily treks to distant, unsafe sources. A partnership between World Vision Ghana and Polytank Ghana Limited is transforming lives one water tank at a time.
New images from a spacecraft orbiting Mars show volcanic ash spreading across an ancient sea bed over just 50 years, proving the Red Planet is far more alive than scientists once thought. The discovery turns Mars from a frozen museum into a world that's actively reshaping itself.
Scientists created solar panels that desalinate ocean water without creating toxic waste while extracting valuable lithium for batteries. The technology mimics coffee stains to keep itself clean and could revolutionize water access worldwide.
German scientists built a Mars rover with curved wheels that mimics how desert lizards swim through sand. The bio-inspired design could unlock exploration of Mars' massive canyon system where water and possible life might hide.
