Vietnam arrests 74 over falsified environmental, waste water data Authorities in Vietnam have arrested more than 70 people, including government officials, accused of falsifying data from air and waste water monitors at power plants and other major emitters, state media said Sunday. The state-run People’s Police newspaper said police had identified “nearly 160 environmental monitoring stations that had been tampered with, altered and had their data falsified” – accounting for more than half of the total number of stations nationwide. Police arrested 74 people, including officials at state environmental agencies and others at dozens of businesses that discharge waste water and install monitoring equipment, on charges related to environmental monitoring violations, the newspaper said. “Even though the monitoring equipment is sealed and has its own surveillance camera system, it was still being remotely adjusted via software,” the state-run outlet said. “The perpetrators interfered to reduce the output indicators thereby ensuring that the data sent to the management agency always remained within permissible levels.” Authorities said data sent to local environment departments from large-scale emitters of air pollution and waste water, including the Quang Ninh Thermal Power Plant, Hai Phong Thermal Power Plant and Thai Binh 2 Thermal Power Plant, as well as aluminium and steel companies, were “being manipulated...

This hidden state of water could explain why life exists Water is everywhere and essential for life, yet it does not act like most other liquids. Properties such as density, heat capacity, viscosity, and compressibility respond to temperature and pressure in ways that are opposite to what scientists see in typical substances. In most materials, cooling causes them to contract and become denser. Based on this pattern, water should reach its highest density when it freezes. Instead, ice floats, and liquid water is actually most dense at 4 degrees C. That is why colder water remains below warmer water in lakes and oceans. When water is cooled below 4 degrees, it begins expanding again. If pure water is cooled below 0 degrees (where crystallization happens slowly), this expansion continues and even accelerates as the temperature drops further. Other properties, including compressibility and heat capacity, also behave in increasingly unusual ways as the temperature decreases. Capturing Water's Hidden State With X-Ray Lasers To investigate these strange behaviors, scientists used extremely fast x-ray pulses generated by powerful lasers in South Korea. These pulses allowed them to observe water in a supercooled state just before it turned into ice. "What was special was that we were able to X-ray unimaginably fast before the...

Climate change is reshaping Arctic rivers in different ways Water in the Arctic may seem quiet, but it affects the whole planet. Rivers carry melted snow into the ocean, shaping ice, currents, and global temperatures. Something has started to change. Scientists tracking these waters now see patterns that do not follow a simple trend. Some regions are getting wetter, while others are drying out. The old idea that a warming Arctic would simply mean more water everywhere is starting to fall apart. Watching Arctic rivers from space For years, researchers depended on measuring stations planted along riverbanks. These gauges recorded how much water flowed through major rivers. But the Arctic is vast and difficult to reach. Keeping those stations running costs time and money, and many have been shut down. So scientists looked up. Satellites now circle Earth, quietly collecting data about water, snow, soil, and rainfall. By combining these streams of information, researchers have built a new way to track how water moves across the Arctic without setting foot on the ground. This effort comes from a team working through the European Space Agency’s STREAM-NEXT project. The group, led by researchers from Italy’s National Research Council and the University of Perugia, created a model that uses only satellite...

A flooded footpath. It will dry out through the year to be flooded again next winter.

Waterlogged path. As the year moves on it will dry out, you can pass with wellies now, but it's still close to the top in places.
