How does a drought last? NASA Satellite are following rainfall

2
00:00:04.070 --> 00:00:08.140
and we've seen record rainfall across the mid-west and

3
00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:12.240
record droughts across California. But NASA Satellite data from GRACE are also

4
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.410
able to track how much water is stored in surface reservoir's and in the ground water below.

5
00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:20.590
At this point California is about year behind on rainfall.

6
00:00:20.590 --> 00:00:24.760
Meaning that to make up for the lost water that we see as a measure of gravity, you'd

7
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.800
have to fill the entire state knee deep with water.
