Record snowfall has not been enough to offset groundwater losses amid long-term drying and a heightened demand for the resource.

Precipitation could boost the iconic river’s flow in the next couple of decades despite the deleterious effects of warming temperatures due to climate change.

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.

A potent storm pushed snowpack levels above normal across Colorado.

Seasonal flow variability is decreasing as climate change alters Earth’s systems, creating challenges for water management.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite provides a new view of water on land, at the coast, and in the ocean.

With better infrastructure and “spongy” green spaces, urban areas have made progress but should be soaking up way more free stormwater.

Global temperatures last year were around 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit (1.2 degrees Celsius) above the average for NASA’s baseline period (1951-1980).

The burst of turquoise and tan hues in Alaskan waters is in stark contrast to the snowy shoreline.
