Technology originally developed to study environmental changes in Antarctica is being trialled in regions experiencing water stress to find and monitor underground water sources. The tool offers a more cost-effective and easier-to-operate way of measuring groundwater compared with existing methods. It is also seen as a way of helping to manage the water source more sustainably.
