# Die Stad Kaapstad sê met laer damvlakke en ʼn lang, droë somer wat verwag word, is dit belangrik om elke liter drinkwater te spaar. Die metro se ontspanningsgeriewe en parke spaar daagliks sewe-miljoen liter water deur gesuiwerde afvloeiwater vir besproeiing en ander doeleindes te gebruik. Die burgemeesterskomiteelid vir Water en Sanitasie, Zahid Badroodien, sê […]
# The City of Cape Town says that with dam levels lower and a longer, drier summer ahead, saving every possible litre of drinking water is becoming increasingly important.

# ‘n Nuwe internasionale navorsingsprojek gebruik onbemande vaartuie om koolstofdioksied in die Suidelike Oseaan te bestudeer. Die COCO2-projek bring navorsers van Suid-Afrika, Australië en die Verenigde State bymekaar. Vier windaangedrewe vaartuie, so groot soos ‘n kajak, sal elk meer as 22-duisend-kilometer aflê en data rondom Antarktika insamel. Navorsers sê die Suidelike Oseaan absorbeer ongeveer 40-persent […]
# Die Weskus spog weer met sewe luiperds na ‘n afwesigheid van 170 jaar, met die eerste bevestigde waarneming wat verlede jaar op kamera in die Weskus Nasionale Park vasgevang is.

# A new international research project is using uncrewed vessels to study carbon dioxide in the Southern Ocean.

# Die Stad Tshwane se Nooddienste-departement bly op hoë gereedheidsgrondslag terwyl swaar reën, skadelike wind en hewige donderstorms tot verdere oorstromings kan lei.

Researchers are urging better […]
