To reach the groundwater, wells are drilled and water is pumped to the surface. These wells may supply farms, industries, and cities, or are used for monitoring the level of the aquifers.

The water drops are suspended on these ultra-microscopic wax needles, and that keeps it from wetting the surface. Next, we looked at the underside of this leaf with the microscope.

Trillions of pounds of water may be strewn across the moon, trapped in tiny glass beads that could have formed when asteroids struck the lunar surface, according to a new study.

Researchers create the most water-repellent surface ever Date: October 23, 2023 Source: Aalto University Summary: A revised method to create hydrophobic surfaces has implications for any ...

If the surface is at least 400° Fahrenheit (204°C) (well above the boiling point of water), cushions of water vapor, or steam, form underneath the droplets, keeping them levitated.

Scientists have used satellite images to study how the water on the Earth's surface has changed over 30 years. They found that 115,000 sq km (44,000 sq miles) of land is now covered in water and ...
