How does a drought last? NASA Satellite are following rainfall

2
00:00:04.070 --> 00:00:08.120
and we've seen record rainfall across the mid-west and

3
00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:12.200
record droughts across California. But NASA Satellite data from GRACE are also

4
00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:16.350
able to track how much water is stored in surface reservoir's and in the ground water below.

5
00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:20.530
At this point California is about year behind on rainfall.

6
00:00:20.530 --> 00:00:24.740
Meaning that to make up for the lost water that we see as a measure of gravity, you'd

7
00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:28.770
have to fill the entire state knee deep with water.
