The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is probably the most water-scarce area in the world. Low precipitation and high evaporation rates lead to the scarcity of surface water resources and heavy dependence on groundwater. Excessive groundwater extraction has caused drastic decline in water tables, seawater intrusion and salinization of coastal aquifers.

In a nondescript office building in the middle of Thunder Bay, Ontario, four workers get ready to move thousands of tonnes of rock, hundreds of kilometres away.
Musselwhite Mine, about 500 km north of the building, is where the rock breakers, loaders, conveyor belts and soon, trucks operate, although those behind the controls sit in an air-conditioned office. The mine has been working on automating some of its processes, keeping workers away from the mine site, closer to home in Thunder Bay.

For years doctors have been warning patients to reduce their salt intake. Now environmentalists are expressing similar concerns regarding the amount of salt being used on sidewalks, roads, parking lots and driveways.
The chloride found in road salt is seeping into both surface water — like creeks, streams, rivers and melted ice — as well ground water aquifers, from which we draw our drinking water.

The Burgess Shale, part of the Rocky Mountains in Canada, is one of the largest homes to fossils as old as 540 million years — the Cambrian period.
