Once upon a time on Mars

Water was once widespread on Mars, data from a Nasa spacecraft shows, raising the prospect that the Red Planet could have supported life.

And more for FL and the desert southwest

A new study shows reclaimed waste water is as good as, maybe even better, than reqular water for citrus groves.

That could mean more water resources for places like Phoenix if they create a secondary system for watering lawns, gold courses, and the like with recycled sewage.
