This month we explore academic articles on the topics of tracking recent subsidence rates using interferometry in the greater Houston area, analyzing the extent of water loss in Texas public water systems and quantifying how much water could be saved with cost-effective approaches, and exploring ecohydrological changes that occurred following woody plant encroachment through six case studies.

think+water: Groundwater for estuaries, injecting into the Delaware Basin, and the surface-water disposal of produced water from the Carrizo-Wilcox
This month we explore academic articles on the topics of assessing how much groundwater is discharging into estuaries along the Texas Coast, developing a model to determine impacts of injecting large volumes of water produced from oil and gas wells through disposal wells in the Delaware Basin, and evaluating groundwater conservation practices in association with oil and gas production from the surrounding areas of the Carrizo-Wilcox formation in Texas.
think+water: Rainwater is unsafe to drink, increases in lake evaporation, and fewer tropical storms with warming (except for the North Atlantic)
This month we explore academic articles on the topics of analyzing forever chemicals present in rainwater, evaluating evaporation losses at 1,420,000 lakes across the planet, and assessing historical data to show declining trends in the annual numbers of tropical cyclones.
think+water: Uri saved Texas wheat, climate change might be good for corn in Burleson County, and farmers can extend Ogallala water by mixing it with Dockum water
This month we explore academic papers on the topics of analyzing how Winter Storm Uri influenced the drought severity across Texas, evaluating the impacts of climate change on maize productivity, and examining the suitability of the Dockum Aquifer to supplement the Ogallala Aquifer water by comparing recent water chemistries where the aquifers coexist.
think+water: Long-term trends in the U.S. Drought Monitor, how to achieve environmental flows, and using love to solve water issues
This month we explore academic papers on the topics of analyzing the U.S. Drought Monitor to investigate long-term drought patterns across the country, identifying opportunities to increase the protection of environmental flows in Texas, and investigating trans-boundary water disputes to evaluate cooperative models employed to mitigate water fights.
