Humanity is rapidly depleting water and much of the world is getting drier Research shows vast portions of the world are losing fresh water and getting drier. Groundwater depletion accounts for two-thirds of the continents' water losses, contributing to rising oceans.

Satellites have been tracking the water held in glaciers, lakes and the world’s vast underground reserves β€” aquifers. A extensive analysis of that data reveals water is rapidly disappearing beneath much of humanity’s feet, and large swaths of the Earth are drying out. www.latimes.com/environment/...

New preserve on Purgatoire River in Southeastern Colorado established to restore prairie habitat Nearly a mile of riverfront in Bent County is now a preserve for prairie wildlife and plants. Nonetheless, there’s much work to do at the new Purgatoire River Preserve.
