Aerial view of floating photovoltaic panels on a lake. In arid river basins around the globe, substantial water supply is lost through evaporation. A recent estimate of global reservoir evaporative losses found that annual water volume loss was equivalent to 70 percent of all global municipal water withdrawals in 2010.

Heard and McDonald Islands | World Heritage Outlook

The Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands contains outstanding examples of active geological processes continuing in a largely undisturbed environment, free of local anthropogenic impacts. The physical processes provide an understanding of hotspot magmatism in an intraplate setting and of atmospheric and oceanic warming.
