It's not the melting ice that's raising the seas; it's Earth's drying continents, study warns
Earth's continents are drying, causing sea levels to rise faster than melting ice. Satellite data shows dry areas expanding rapidly. Groundwater depletion, mainly for agriculture, is a major cause. Regions like Canada and Russia face significant water loss. This threatens freshwater resources and accelerates coastal flooding. Protecting groundwater is now a global priority. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Satellite data tracks a drying planet Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Where the water is going The reason: Human pressure on groundwater Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The warning Everyday sources of life, the rivers we get our water from, the lakes we fish in, and the groundwater that sustains farms, are quietly disappearing. But the consequences stretch far beyond parched fields and empty reservoirs. A new study shows that this drying of Earth's continents, rather than the melting of polar ice sheets, has now become the dominant driver of global sea level rise The findings, published in Science Advances by researchers led by Hrishikesh Chandanpurkar of FLAME University, India, show that vast amounts of terrestrial water are draining into the oceans, tilting the global water balance in unprecedented two decades of satellite measurements from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and its follow-on mission, the team reconstructed how Earth's terrestrial water storage has shifted since results are stark: continental areas experiencing drying are expanding by an area nearly twice the size of California every year. In contrast, wet areas are not growing fast enough to compensate.'Dry areas are drying faster than wet areas are wetting,' the researchers write, warning that the shift is both accelerating and analysis found that much of the missing water has ended up in the oceans, where it is now adding more to sea level rise than the planet's ice were especially pronounced in high-latitude regions like Canada and Russia, where melting permafrost and ice are releasing stored non-glacial regions, up to 68 percent of the decline is tied directly to human groundwater depletion Across many continents, agriculture remains the biggest driver of groundwater loss. California's Central Valley, which supplies 70 percent of the world's almonds, and cotton-growing regions around the former Aral Sea in Central Asia are among the worst rainfall patterns becoming increasingly erratic due to fossil fuel-driven climate change, communities are drawing heavily on aquifers. But these deep water reserves are not replenishing nearly as quickly as they are drained.'At present, overpumping groundwater is the largest contributor to terrestrial water storage decline,' the study notes, amplifying the risks from heatwaves, droughts, and net result is a 'double jeopardy': continents are losing the freshwater resources that billions depend on, while oceans rise faster and swallow coastlines. Three out of every four people already live in countries where freshwater loss is England, for instance, 2025 was declared the driest spring in 132 years, with water reservoirs running so low that centuries-old structures, like an ancient packhorse bridge, authors stress that safeguarding groundwater must become a global priority. Even if slowing climate change remains politically fraught, policies to conserve and sustainably manage groundwater can be enacted now.'Protecting the world's groundwater supply is paramount in a warming world and on continents that we now know are drying,' they conclude.

Study reveals how partial flood defences in Surat shifted risk toward vulnerable communities
Do partial flood defences actually protect cities, or do they simply redistribute the hazard? With this question in focus, a recent study by the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) and University of Burdwan, West Bengal, has revealed how partial flood defences shift risk toward vulnerable communities, raising critical questions about urban planning and equity. The findings of the research, published in the journal Nature Cities, offer a blueprint for cities to rethink flood adaptation strategies and build a more just, resilient, and climate-ready infrastructure. 'Most flood adaptation strategies are judged by whether they reduce total damage. By that measure, Surat's partial embankment system, which was built after the catastrophic 2006 floods, was successful in protecting its dense city centre,' explained Dr Udit Bhatia, Associate Professor at IITGN's Department of Civil Engineering and the principal investigator of the study. To understand these flood adaptation strategies further, Dr Bhatia and his co-authors used advanced hydrodynamic simulations, socio-economic data, and demographic-focused analysis to model a 100-year flood event in Surat. Employing simulations to create partial embankment systems or levees systems that counter the hypothetical catastrophic event, they assessed the impact of partial embankments as a primary systemic response to flooding, and analysed how human life, infrastructure, and the economy are affected. The team noted that levees reduced flood damage in core wards of Surat by Rs 31.24 billion (US$380 million) and in suburban areas by Rs 10.34 billion (US$125 million). But those numbers did not provide the whole story. 'By simulating floods under both 'no levee' and 'partial levee' conditions using a fully coupled 1D – 2D hydrodynamic model, we observed a sharp redistribution of risk,' stated Ashish S Kumar, the lead author of the study and a Ph D scholar in IITGN's Department of Civil Engineering. When the team analysed flood impacts across Surat's 284 neighbourhoods, they found that 134 areas experienced reduced flooding, while 119 saw deeper water. The maximum flood depth reduction reached an impressive 10.13 meters in protected areas, but some unprotected neighbourhoods faced increases of up to 2.38 meters. 'While core areas remained dry longer, downstream and peripheral wards, which are often less affluent and less protected, flooded earlier and more severely,' added Kumar, who is also the recipient of the central government's prestigious Prime Minister Research Fellowship. 'We observed that flooding was delayed by up to 12 hours in protected wards near the river, a valuable lead time for evacuation or emergency response,' said Dr Bhatia in a statement issued by IITGN. In contrast, the team noted that in some downstream regions, the onset of flooding happened up to seven hours earlier than in the baseline scenario. 'This temporal resolution in flood modelling is vital for preparedness planning. Delaying a flood by even a few hours can make the difference between controlled evacuation and disaster,' he added. To better understand the social impact, the IITGN team collaborated with Prof Rajarshi Majumder, a development economist from the University of Burdwan, and Prof Vivek Kapadia, a water policy expert who served as Secretary to the Government of Gujarat and Director of the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited between 2020 and 2023. Relying on Prof Majumdar's economics expertise, the researchers analysed how flood damage and exposure were distributed across neighbourhoods. They used the Gini index, a standard measure of inequality, where 0 means perfect equality and 1 indicates extreme disparity. The results were striking. The Gini index for flood damage rose from 0.55 to 0.66, and for population exposure, it rose from 0.31 to 0.39. More starkly, 91% of post-levee flood damage was concentrated in just 50% of the city's neighbourhoods, many of them poorer, with a higher proportion of marginal workers, a proxy for economic vulnerability. 'The data suggest that the residual flood risk disproportionately shifted toward communities that were already disadvantaged,' observed co-author Majumder. In Surat, as in many cities of the Global South, peripheral areas house informal settlements, agricultural workers, and artisanal communities with limited access to infrastructure or disaster support. 'It is not that levees should not be built,' noted Dr Bhatia. 'But policymakers need better tools to understand the knock-on effects, especially in cities where development is uneven and capacity is constrained.' While Surat's levees reduced overall flood losses, a common justification for such investments, the study underscored that cost-benefit analysis alone is insufficient. 'If a flood plan protects downtown but worsens conditions for outlying villages, it transcends from being just a technical issue to becoming a moral one,' said Dr Bhatia. Towards this, the study offers a much-needed model for integrated flood planning that balances structural engineering with social equity. Shedding light on the holistic approaches to urban flood adaptation that cities could undertake, Kapadia, a co-author of the study and a Professor of Practice at IITGN, suggested the deployment of multi-scalar governance, where benefits in protected zones are not assumed to justify harm in others. 'We propose redirecting tax revenue from safer zones to fund adaptation in high-risk peripheries and investing in nature-based infrastructure like wetlands or buffer zones that distribute water pressure more evenly,' Kapadia said. In the face of rising floodwaters and increasingly erratic weather, cities worldwide have turned to a seemingly straightforward solution: Build a wall. From Spain to Surat, partial embankment systems or levees have become the go-to defence against riverine and coastal flooding. The team of researchers said that often built along rivers and low-lying urban corridors, these structures are designed to hold back water during high discharge events, shielding the most economically important urban cores. But, historically, it has been observed that this protection is uneven and temporary. Floodwaters rerouted by these barriers found new paths, it was found. In safeguarding these high-value zones, flood defences often push rising waters to the edges of the city, into informal, less developed settlements that are ill-equipped to absorb the blow, the study noted. With climate change making extreme weather events more common, cities must move beyond patchwork defences, according to the study. Protecting one side of a river while flooding the other may save a few billion rupees today, but it risks compounding inequality and social unrest tomorrow, the study noted, positioning itself as a potential toolkit for city planners, policy makers, and governments.

Lokesh to meet Union Ministers to push for clearance for Andhra projects
Andhra Pradesh's Minister for Information Technology and Human Resources Development, Nara Lokesh, will meet Union Ministers in Delhi on Monday to discuss key pending projects of the state with the Central government. Lokesh will leave for the national capital on Sunday. He is scheduled to have a series of meetings with Union Ministers to push for faster clearances for pending projects and to discuss some new initiatives for Andhra Pradesh. Lokesh, who is the son of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, will hold meetings with Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Ports, Shipping and Waterways Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. The state government is expected to present a set of proposals to each of these ministries during the discussions, according to a statement from the minister's office. Since the formation of the coalition government in the state, Minister Lokesh has already met Union Ministers on multiple occasions and has been actively pursuing the state's interests. His efforts have helped bring new projects to Andhra Pradesh and ensure quicker approvals from the Centre, it said. The HRD Minister is said to be making a concerted push to place Andhra Pradesh on par with the most developed states in the country. During his visit, Lokesh is also expected to meet Union Railway, IT and Electronics Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and thank him personally for sanctioning a Semiconductor Manufacturing Unit to the state. The Union Cabinet on August 12 approved a semiconductor facility in Andhra Pradesh. Advanced System in Package Technologies (ASIP) will be tying up with APACT Co. Ltd, South Korea, for an annual capacity of 96 million units. These will be used in mobile phones, set-top boxes, automobiles and other new-age electronics applications, and will greatly contribute to an Atmanirbhar Bharat, Lokesh had said while thanking the Prime Minister for sanctioning the facility. The Union Cabinet decided to set up new semiconductor manufacturing units under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). These units will come up in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Punjab. The cumulative investment will be around Rs 4,600 crore.
