• arclein

A team of scientists led by Jay Famiglietti of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California used data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites to develop the first-ever calculation of this kind -- the volume of water required to end an episode of drought. NASA satellite data reveal the severity of California's drought on water resources across the state. This map shows the trend in water storage between September 2011 and September 2014.
