Microbes play an important role in climate because they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when they eat.

Researchers created a light-activated fish robot that “swims” around quickly, picking up and removing microplastics from the environment.

The current volume of wastewater - the result of water forced underground to fracture rock - is estimated at 250 million barrels per day.

The AquaBOT measures a range of water quality indicators, providing data for studies focused on clean water and sustainable energy.

Researchers developed a technology that, for the first time, allows them to harvest water 24 hours around the clock, with no energy input.

Okra serves as a master thickener of stews and soups. The goo from that fruit and other plants, such as aloe can also clean wastewater.

Using a unique hydrogel, scientists created a solar-driven system that successfully grows spinach by using water drawn from the air.

Study shows that the salt enhances the moisture uptake of the gel, making it suitable for water harvesting in dry regions.

No matter where you are, this water bottle will deliver 99.9996% of purified water with each sip.

Scientists have developed a new membrane, whose structure was inspired by a protein from algae, for electrodialysis used for fresh water.

Researchers discovered that 10% of the oil floating on the Gulf after the Deepwater Horizon disaster was dissolved into seawater by sunlight

Devices that uses solar power to pull water from the air could potentially serve a billion people across the world.

Professor Claudio Avignone Rossa identified a way to process the waste differently by feeding it to a community of electrogenic microbes.

Tap water produces a natural protective shield against harmful microplastics, which can help prevent household products from releasing them.

Non-profit that wants to remove 90% of the floating ocean plastic by 2040 recently introduced a new large-scale cleanup system called Jenny.

Fresh water is scarce in many parts of the world and must be obtained at great expense. Communities near the ocean can desalinate sea water.

Converting seawater into safe drinking water takes an enormous amount of energy, which makes it a costly and polluting process.

Robots are cleaning our oceans, harbours and rivers. No matter how much they clean, it’s only politicians who can make a real change.

As much as a third of the world's population does not have access to clean drinking water, according to some estimates.

New membrane could also be used to remove salt from wastewater to provide a new source of fresh water.
