Kim Perales<p>Freshwater is scarce, worldwide.</p><p>"An international team of scientists using observations from NASA-German satellites found evidence that Earth's total amount of freshwater dropped abruptly starting in May 2014 and has remained low ever since. Reporting in Surveys in Geophysics, the researchers suggested the shift could indicate Earth's continents have entered a persistently drier phase."</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Water</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/WaterScarcity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterScarcity</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a></p><p><a href="https://phys.org/news/2024-11-nasa-satellites-reveal-abrupt-global.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">phys.org/news/2024-11-nasa-sat</span><span class="invisible">ellites-reveal-abrupt-global.html</span></a></p>
