A Water War Is Brewing In Texas
Authored by Kurt Cobb via OilPrice.com,
A hedge-fund-backed plan to pump 15 billion gallons a year from an East Texas aquifer has sparked intense local opposition and legal challenges.
Growing Texas cities are increasingly tapping distant rural water supplies, accelerating depletion of shared aquifers like the Carrizo-Wilcox.
Without major conservation efforts, rural communities risk losing water essential for farming and ranching as urban demand continues to climb.
One of the ways you can claim rights to water sources is to own land next to them or over them. It seems intuitive that you should be able to dip into a river running along your property to get a drink for yourself and possibly your livestock, or water for your plants and possibly your farm fields. That works so long as you don't hog too much of the river flow and your downstream neighbors can do the same as you are doing. In practice, there are so many humans today demanding so much wa...

These Are The Largest Bodies Of Water In Our Solar System
From the icy crusts of distant moons to the oceans beneath their surfaces, the solar system is teeming with hidden water.
This visualization from Made Visual Daily, via Visual Capitalist, compares all known and estimated bodies of water in our solar system, including those beneath the surface, on a volumetric scale.
The data comes from sources including USGS, NASA's Ocean Worlds program, and a variety of planetary science missions, like Cassini and MESSENGER.
Comparing Water Volumes in the Solar System
Below is the full breakdown of water volumes by celestial body or source:
Earth's ocean holds 1.3 billion km³ of water, but that's dwarfed by subsurface oceans on other moons. Ganymede, for instance, is believed to host 11.4 billion km³ in liquid water beneath its ice shell—nearly nine times the volume of Earth's oceans.
The Surprising Abundance of Extraterrestrial Water
When thinking of water in space, Mars or icy comets may c...
