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.

Penn State Extension Pennsylvania Groundwater Symposium Set For May 5 In Harrisburg The Symposium is a forum where researchers, students, professionals and educators working in the groundwater field exchange information and promote protection of groundwater resources throughout the state. An optional field trip will be held before the Symposium to several aggregate mines, active and repurposed, in the lower Susquehanna River Watershed. Who is this for? This event is for people who work or volunteer in fields where an understanding of groundwater management, current research, and education is needed, including hydrogeologists, geologists, engineers, soil scientists, oil and gas professionals, water operators, sanitarians, well and septic contractors, educators, students, and Penn State Master Well Owner Network volunteers. What will you learn? Participants will hear from a wide variety of groundwater scientists, regulators, industry professionals, and educators. Topics include an update on Susquehanna River Basin Commission water management programs by Executive Director Andrew Dehoff; a GIS-based method for estimating groundwater recharge rates in Pennsylvania using multicriteria decision analysis and USGS baseflow data by Pierre MaCoy, SRBC Hydrogeologist; breakout presentations focused on a variety of topics such as hydrogeological investigations, Carbon Capture, PFAS transport, the Pennsylvania Groundwater Information System, seasonal trends in groundwater quality, and more. The event will also provide an update on efforts...

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,...
