Stricter rules to protect European waters: EU Parliament sets stricter standards to curb pollution in rivers, lakes and groundwater The European Union (EU) Parliament on March 26, 2026, approved updated EU water pollution standards. This would help in tackling harmful substances in Europe's rivers, lakes and groundwater. The legislation updates the lists of pollutants that need to be monitored and controlled, by adding Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) also known as “forever chemicals, pharmaceuticals such as painkillers, industrial substances and pesticides. Several pollutants already included would now be subject to tighter environmental quality standards. The new measures would also focus on substances of emerging concern, such as microplastics and antimicrobial resistance indicators. Following this, on March 30, 2026 the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union (EU) passed a directive, amending three previous directives. The three directives were - 2000/60/EC establishing a framework for community action in the field of water policy; Directive 2006/118/EC on the protection of groundwater against pollution and deterioration and Directive 2008/105/EC on environmental quality standards in the field of water policy. EU countries will have time until December 21, 2027, to make their national rules comply with the provisions of this directive. Javi Lopez, from the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, said the new measures “give us...

Swiss alpine landscape in early spring with green pastures, minimal snow at lower elevations, and snow-capped mountains in the background. Below: overview of Decentlab soil moisture sensors (DL-SMTP, DL-SDD) and groundwater level sensors (DL-PR26, DL-PR36, DL-PR36CTD).

Low Snow Reserves – again.

Switzerland heads into spring with 30–60 % of normal snowpack. Rain gauges won't show you what's underground. Direct measurement will.

Groundwater in Antarctica is connected to the ocean: new scientific discovery A revolutionary discovery in the white continent reveals the presence of subterranean water in Antarctica that is connected to the ocean. This finding challenges previous beliefs about water systems in polar regions. The lakes located in volcanic craters, once thought to be isolated, are now shown to be interconnected and in sync with ocean tides. Led by the CSIC, the study conducted between 2024 and 2025 provides a fresh perspective on the dynamics of water beneath the Antarctic ice, suggesting that subterranean changes may be faster than those observable on the surface. Using advanced technologies such as ice-penetrating radar and electromagnetic measurements, the researchers discovered that these bodies of water, far from being isolated, have connections with the ocean that allow an exchange of heat and salinity, affecting the behavior of the ice above them. In a surprising twist, the freshwater lakes on Deception Island, located in volcanic craters, are not closed systems. The underground water connects with the ocean, and responds to the tides, a rare phenomenon in polar regions. Directed by Jorge Jódar (IGME-CSIC), this is the first comprehensive description of a groundwater system in Antarctica. Previously, this system was a mystery. Subterranean Water in Antarctica The study...

We need to talk about groundwater drought (and rehydrating the planet) Hiding beneath our feet, the world’s subterranean H2O stores are rapidly running dry. The result is supply shortages, mass subsidence and a rising threat to livelihood and lives. Groundwater over-extraction is one of the least visible crises facing the global water system today. Aquifers that took thousands of years to form are being drained in decades. Water is underpriced, undervalued and the most finite, in demand resource – and as we enter the era of global water bankruptcy, action on water this year needs to be urgent and meaningful. Unlike floods, fires, or droughts, groundwater collapse can be largely invisible until the damage is irreversible. Wells suddenly run dry. Land subsides. Fresh water rivers are salinated. Ecosystems fail. Food systems destabilise. By the time the crisis becomes visible, the opportunity to prevent it has passed. Unchecked groundwater extraction now threatens agricultural productivity, urban water security, economic growth and community stability across the world. According to research from Deltares, land subsidence caused by groundwater depletion is already damaging infrastructure, increasing flood risk and locking regions into long-term environmental and economic decline. The process is slow, cumulative and, once triggered, largely irreversible. Yet much of the global response remains reactive. Deeper drilling,...

A bit of good news: It's possible to turn around a groundwater crisis Generally, when you hear “water use” and “sustainability,” you expect those words to be followed by some bad news. Humanity’s enduring ability to ignore the math of declining water supplies is almost impressive. But there are cases where actions have successfully reversed our loss of water resources. A new paper in Science by Scott Jasechko of the University of California, Santa Barbara, examines documented cases of groundwater recovery around the world to identify which strategies have worked. Groundwater is invaluable for many reasons. For one, it’s (usually) cleaner than surface water. It’s also right under your feet and often close enough to the surface that it doesn’t take much energy to pump it up. And there’s loads of it down there, no matter the season. Because of this, humans use a lot of it for drinking water, agriculture, and every other use you can think of. Unfortunately, in many places, the rate of groundwater use has grown to exceed the rate at which precipitation soaks into the ground to replenish it. In shallow aquifers, this causes the water table to fall over time. It falls the most near pumping wells—because groundwater moves slowly through rock and sediment, the water table...
