We all know that water is good for us, but often the reasons are a little fuzzy. And even if we know why we should drink water, it's not a habit that many people form. picked by maxriter 2 years ago

Tap’dNY is honest-to-goodness New York City tap water. It doesn’t come from French springs, Arctic glaciers, tropical islands, or Alpine peaks. It’s NYC tap water, just like Mom used to serve. picked by suckersklub 1 year ago

Water has been found conclusively for the first time inside ancient moon samples brought back by Apollo astronauts. The discovery may force scientists to rethink the lunar past and future, although uncertainty remains about how much water exists and whether future explorers could extract it. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

We have all been bombarded with orders to drink more water every day or we could become dehydrated and if we don’t, oh no please help us, something terrible is going to happen, like we’re going to shrivel up and die. picked by catalyst 3 years ago

Water is present on Mars today, but it is entirely bound up in ice because the surface is too cold for liquid water.

But evidence has been mounting that shows water once flowed across the Martian surface, potentially supporting life. While water does not mean there was life, it's a key prerequisite. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

Ashleigh, from Melbourne, Australia, is allergic to water of any temperature, a condition she's lived with since she was 14. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

According to Jay Dillon, the director of Subgroup: "It tends to stand out on the shelves, by not standing out. Whilst all the other brands are fighting on the shelf with the same old cascasding water falls and water droplets etc. Our clear invisible bottle makes a focus of the water inside. Because after all it's just another bloody water, right!" picked by AutumnLotus 12 months ago

Martin Mustapha found a dead fly in a water dispenser bottle in 2001 and brought a $300,000 suit against the suppliers. At appeal, Mustapha, who never drank any of the water, didn't get the result he was after. Not by a long chalk. picked by pocksucket 1 year ago

Scientists have long marveled over counter-intuitive properties that set water apart from other solids and liquids commonly found in nature. That is why Pablo Debenedetti and collaborators were surprised to find a highly simplified model molecule that behaves in much the same way as water, a discovery that upends long-held beliefs about what makes water so special. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Water is familiar to everyone—it shapes our bodies and our planet. But despite this abundance, the molecular structure of water has remained a mystery, with the substance exhibiting many strange properties that are still poorly understood. Recent work, however, is shedding new light on water’s molecular idiosyncrasies, offering insight into its strange bulk properties. picked by AutumnLotus 3 months ago

Water, good ol' H2O, seems like a pretty simple substance to you and me. But in reality, water - the foundation of life and most common of liquid - is really weird and scientists actually don't completely understand how water works. picked by Bornbad 1 year ago

Subtitled 'Water shortages are a growing problem, but not for the reasons most people think', this article in The Economist of 11th April 2009, was an eye-opener. Not telling us how we have less water, but rather how we use (and abuse?) it. Very interesting statistics about water usage! picked by rambler 7 months ago
