Massive boulders crashed onto houses on Wednesday in Mathare, a Nairobi slum, killing at least eight people after a night of heavy rains, police and the Kenyan Red Cross said. “Eight people have died
To examine the effects of C and water additions on soil microbial properties and plant growth, we conducted an experiment lasting two years in a temperate steppe of northeastern China. We found that soil
The BWSSB is all set to disconnect water supply to houses, whose owners have failed to install rainwater harvesting (RWH) structures. T Venkataraju, engineer-in-chief, BWSSB, said he has already instructed his executive engineers in various divisions to carry out inspections. “I have asked the engineers to visit the houses that come under the category of compulsory rule of RWH and inspect the structures.

Peat deposits unearthed from coastal wetlands in South Kerala are emerging as a powerful tool for scientists to track climate history and geological evolution back over thousands of years. Scientific analysis of the fossil woods found in the sub surface deposits has traced their existence to the Holocene period, 6,000 to 10,000 years back in time.
Human activity kept global temperatures close to a record high in 2011 despite the cooling influence of a powerful La Nina weather pattern, the World Meteorological Organization said on Friday. On average,
