The U.S. southwest continues to lose groundwater supplies, threatening both human communities and wildlife. Even unprecedented snowfall hasn't reversed this alarming trend, as revealed in a recent NASA report.
The study, led by University of Maryland earth scientist Dorothy Hall, analyzed two decades of satellite data to uncover that persistent droughts and escalating water demands are depleting water reserves in the region.
This impacts agriculture, ecosystems, and everyday life for residents. The ongoing water crisis emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable water management and conservation strategies to protect the future of the U.S. Southwest.
