Global Freshwater Levels Plummet Since 2014

Since May 2014, NASA and German satellites have tracked a 290 cubic mile drop in Earth's land-based freshwater—the equivalent of losing 2.5 Lake Eries! This decline, fueled by intensified droughts and climate change, threatens agriculture and communities worldwide. Utilizing GRACE and GRACE-FO satellites, scientists warn that our persistently drier planet could lead to severe water scarcity and conflicts. It’s time to rethink our water usage before we all run dry!
