Small mountain glaciers play a big role in recharging vital aquifers and in keeping rivers flowing during the winter, according to a new study. The study also suggests that the accelerated melting ...

In this episode of the Explore Oregon Podcast, host Zach Urness talks with two Oregon researchers who published a study about a massive underground aquifer below the Central Cascade Mountains east ...

Even though the aquifer's size seems promising, scientists aren't ready to celebrate just yet. "Its longevity and resilience to change is set by the availability of recharging waters," Karlstrom said.

Are mountain range aquifers of this scale common? Karlstrom: No, in some sense, this is not a new finding from the hydrogeologic perspective. We know that volcanic terrains globally, ...

Mountain snowpack benefits: No valley flooding, aquifer gets boost Experts are not expecting the near-record snowpack on Mount Charleston to pose any major flood problems as it melts.

The American West is hungry for water, and scientists just found a previously unmapped aquifer three times the size of Lake Mead. The discovery came when researchers, studying drill holes left ...

Massive Aquifer Beneath Oregon’s Cascades Could Be the Largest in the World The hidden water reservoir is shockingly larger than previously thought—holding more than half the volume of Lake Tahoe.

The Idaho Water Resource Board (Board) voted to approve $1.7 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to develop a new aquifer-recharge site near Idaho Falls as part of efforts to ...
