Because they are preserved in the Gale crater still today, it implies that the water there had relatively little acidity -- that is, it was fresh water, like the water you'd find in most ponds or lakes on Earth today.
The Youth Delegates will also have the opportunity to exchange ideas with Young Professionals of the UNESCO Science Sector specializing in the fields of water, biodiversity, ecology, earth sciences, science education, disaster risk reduction, and science policy.

The earth and the water flowing through it in contact with these hazardous chemicals from 1 foot to 20000 feet down will be poisoned forever.
In the summertime the pumped water starts off warmer than the earth, but the warmth is absorbed by the earth, and the water comes back up at 57 degrees and is used as an air-conditioning refrigerant.
We will learn more about how the solar system formed, where Earth' water and organics originated and how life might be sustained in places far from our Earth's atmosphere and expand the boundaries of human exploration.
Water drilled from rock in a North American mine is among the oldest yet found on Earth, say scientists.
In the distant future, Earth is racked by massive earthquakes and water shortages.
They found gullies that, had they been seen in aerial photographs of the earth, would unhesitatingly have been identified as water-carved.
Beth Irving and Teach Carter have their hands bound in coloured ribbons representing the elements of earth, wind, fire and water.
We learn why water, unlike most of the substances we run into on Earth, is denser in its liquid than in its solid form (H2O molecules are kinked rather than straight, so the space between them increases when water is quiescent).
Shale gas has brought the USA cheap energy but it has also caused polluted water supplies in places and caused earth tremors.

While the earth's occupancy has doubled in the past 100 years, overall water use has quintupled--largely due to the demands of manufacturing.
Every presence in this stark, eroded setting is created by absence, by missing earth and water, by the missingness of plants and people.
"Moving water is the thing that kills people in hurricanes, " says Hugh Willoughby, a meteorologist and professor of earth and environment at Florida International University.

Treatment continues at the sites today, with vapor barriers in place, so-called slurry walls going down 40 feet into the earth, well sucking up water to be treated, and systems operating to extract toxins from the air and water.

The rebuilding effort also represented a chance to create infrastructure improvements that would have helped the economy directly, such as investments in transportation, water and power systems, according to Arthur Levner-Lam, director of the hazard center at the Earth Institute at Columbia University.
His moment of recognition came late on a raw winter's night, when he hankered to stay under his blankets but couldn't, because his family business makes quirky demands: Oyster growers like the Bishops engage in a rare branch of agriculture that farms in two elements, exposed earth and water.
