After years of swinging extremes, state snowpack is at rare average of 110%, setting up good water savings account for year ahead.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment-Continuity mission will extend a decades-long record of following shifting water masses using gravity measurements.

While flood flows are dominated by water, debris flows are a slurry of a lot of things, including boulders. 

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

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