Nuclear techniques help measure climate change

Nuclear and isotopic techniques can help study terrestrial and aquatic systems and monitor emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4), with the aim of assessing the effects of climate change on the environment.Read more

Seawater desalination by nuclear energy

In short, nuclear technology offers an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution to increase, optimise and improve water resources across the globe, both for drinking and agriculture.Read more

Interactive Sheet: Water Desalination with Nuclear Techniques

According to the UN, access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene are fundamental to humanity. High water stress can have devastating consequences.Read more

Argentina applies nuclear technology to water

In Argentina, as in many parts of the world, water is endangered by overexploitation and pollution. In order to protect it, scientists are studying even the smallest details with the help of nuclear technology.Read more

Using nuclear techniques to assess and manage groundwater in critical situations

Due to poor water management and disasters, natural or anthropogenic, there is often a decrease in the quantity and quality of surface water, in this context, groundwater becomes a water resource.Read more

Groundwater: How scientists study its pollution and sustainability

Groundwater constitutes 30% of the world's freshwater. It is an important resource to cope with population growth, large-scale agriculture and intensive use of water resources.Read more

Nuclear technique reveals how much water you should drink daily

The study reveals that the current recommendations may be too high for most people in most situations. A more realistic daily figure would contribute to the preservation of this resource.Read more

A new nuclear application to predict the future of glaciers

Melting glaciers can have major consequences such as floods, droughts, threatened water supplies, threatening human survival, and weakened economies.Read more

IAEA Water Availability Enhancement Project (IWAVE)

The IAEA's Water Availability Enhancement project, established in 2010, is an initiative to help Member States increase long-term access to freshwater.Read more

Using isotopic techniques to map and snalyse groundwater resources in the Sahel

Despite the droughts and the constant lack of rainfall that have affected the Sahel in recent decades, the region is home to large bodies of groundwater that are being studied for exploitation using nuclear techniques.Read more

Nuclear techniques to protect wetlands and preserve the ecosystem

Wetlands are critical to the environment because they improve water quality, prevent erosion, store carbon and preserve stream channels.Read more
