Desert Bacteria Assists Development of Carbon Capturing Paint

Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed a "living paint" called Green Living Paint, which uses a bacterium that captures carbon dioxide and produces oxygen through photosynthesis. The bacterium, Chroococcidiopsis cubana, is an extremophile that requires little water for survival. The biocoating made from this bacterium can reduce water consumption and has potential applications as a bioreactor or biosensor.

Exploring The Reality of Water Scarcity through News Content

   Have you ever wondered about the old saying, "Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink?" Well, it's high time we started considering this analogy seriously. With more than 70% of our earth covered in water, one might easily question - is there really such a thing as 'water scarcity'? You'll be surprised at how often this topic pops up when you dig around news content.

In fact, recent news reports have brought attention to a stark reality that millions across the globe face - the lack of accessible fresh water. Stories from California suffering under severe drought conditions bring home the urgency of these concerns. On another note, would you believe that Cape Town nearly reached what they called "Day Zero?" Reports indicate that residents were on track for an imminent halt to their regular municipal water supply. Crazy as it sounds – isn't it?

We've also got investigative pieces exposing alarming data about groundwater depletion in countries like India and Pakistan due to rampant overuse. A steady flow of news flashes from Flint demonstrate how failing infrastructure can lead to tainted water supplies within developed regions too!

Sadly enough though, stripped bare are stories from countless remote areas in Africa where kids walk miles away just for a sip! Have you read about those? Now imagine yourself standing by those parched souls – heart-wrenching isn't it?

So why does 'water scarcity', not quite get the headlines its sheer importance deserves?

This brings us back full circle: Indeed digging deep into news contents should make us all ask – with all these unfolding realities surrounding 'Water Scarcity' why is addressing them still considered less "newsworthy" or less prioritized against other hot topics? It truly gives food for thought…but preferably washed down with plenty clean liquid gold…don’t ya think so?
