00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:04,060
How does a drought last? NASA Satellite are following rainfall

2
00:00:04,060 --> 00:00:08,100
and we've seen record rainfall across the mid-west and 

3
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:12,160
record droughts across California. But NASA Satellite data from GRACE are also

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,260
able to track how much water is stored in surface reservoir's and in the ground water below.

5
00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:20,420
At this point California is about year behind on rainfall.

6
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:24,640
Meaning that to make up for the lost water that we see as a measure of gravity, you'd

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,650
have to fill the entire state knee deep with water.

8
00:00:28,650 --> 00:00:31,632
