NASA researchers have developed new satellite-based, weekly global maps of soil moisture and groundwater wetness conditions and one- to three-month U.S. forecasts of each product. While maps of ...
Combining direct measurements with artificial intelligence methods, a new map estimates groundwater depth across the continental United States at a resolution of around 30 meters (98 feet). How much ...
It’s not easy to determine how much water there is across a landscape. A measly 1% of Earth’s freshwater is on the surface, where it can be seen and measured with relative ease. But beneath that, ...
State drinking water, surface water, and groundwater regulations are now all in one place—through an easy-to-use, interactive map. Regulations on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) vary by ...
For scientists, measuring the water in a river or a lake is relatively straightforward. It’s much more complicated to figure out how much water lies underground. After years of research, a team of ...
The record-breaking drought in Texas that has fueled wildfires, decimated crops and forced cattle sales has also reduced levels of groundwater in much of the state to the lowest levels seen in more ...
