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
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
According to the UN, access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene are fundamental to humanity. High water stress can have devastating consequences.Read more
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
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 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
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
Melting glaciers can have major consequences such as floods, droughts, threatened water supplies, threatening human survival, and weakened economies.Read more
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
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
