Island Nations Turn to Water Isotope Science to Solve Freshwater Crises

A new framework shows how isotope hydrology—tracking water molecules through their chemical signatures—can help small island nations manage scarce freshwater supplies amid climate pressures. For governments and water utilities facing acute supply shortages, the technique offers a low-cost way to identify contamination, map underground aquifers, and predict drought impacts.
