Thousands of Mount Everest hikers add to area’s groundwater contamination
Nepal’s Mount Everest is a wonder to behold. Sitting at more than 29,000 feet, many attempt to summit it each year. And though some climbers don’t make it to the top, all of them have an effect on the mountain’s ecosystem. 
 
What’s more, say scientists at Ball State University, the quantities of trash and human waste they leave behind are having disgusting effects on water quality downstream. At the bottom of Mount Everest, there are Sherpa communities too poor to afford water treatment plants and their members often drink untreated water straight off the mountain. 
 
“You can find almost every kind of waste. Everything from water bottles, batteries, cans, toilet paper,” said Kirsten Nicholson, professor of geological sciences at Ball State.

On March 23, 2014, a pulse of water 130 million cubic meters in volume flowed from the Morelos Dam just south of the U.S. - Mexico border through the lower Colorado River delta. Part of a hydrological experiment unprecedented in scale, the release was designed to bring temporary — but hopefully telling — relief to the parched delta. With the earliest results coming in from the ongoing project, researchers are beginning to understand just how beneficial a (relatively) small water pulse can benefit a water-starved region. 
 
Getting the water downriver necessitated more than just an open floodgate. Universities, government agencies and nongovernmental organizations came together from both sides of the border to prepare for the pulse, and to monitor its continual impact.

In the parched hills of the Sierra Nevada, researchers are surveying drought-weakened streams to see what effects long-term dryness is having on fish populations in the region. Their findings so far have been less than stellar, with sparse numbers of fish being counted. 
 
Still, as data collection is progressing, the researchers, who work out of the University of California, Davis’ Center for Watershed Sciences, are gathering insights that could aid in conservation efforts that are expected to grapple with coming climate changes. 
 
The purposes of the investigation are two-fold. “If we ever get rain again, we want to see how well these areas are recovering from drought,” said Rebecca Quinones, a postdoctoral researcher at the center and leader of the project.
