A WWAO collaboration has published a new paper on how to use next-generation satellite snow data to improve seasonal water supply forecasts using machine learning.

Last month’s massive snowstorm in the Sierra Nevada followed a dry start to winter. Such extremes in precipitation may become the norm.

Using remote-sensing data and machine learning, a team from NASA and beyond finds that switching to lower-intensity crops can reduce water consumption in California’s Central Valley by 93%, but this requires adopting uncommon crop types.

Does the public sector need the private sector’s help to address the freshwater crisis? 

Resurrected for the first time in decades by an epic deluge of winter rain and snow, by spring the lake covered more than 100,000 acres, stretching over cotton, tomato and pistachio fields and miles of roads.

A potent storm pushed snowpack levels above normal across Colorado.

California's State Water Project has been focused on maximizing the capture and storage of water from this winter’s storms.

A long-term sea level dataset shows ocean surface heights continuing to rise at faster and faster rates over decades of observations.

This year’s theme, “Water for Peace,” encourages the world to focus not only on the conflicts, but also on how water can be at the center of peacebuilding.

Learn how to discover, access, and use Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission data and how these data could lead to new, innovative science and applications in the world of water.
