always looking at next year at the global institute for water security at the state run university of saskatchewan, j. familiarity analyzes satellite data. india was one of the 1st places where we did in depth analysis. why? because we could see this tremendous hot spot from space. we did some research and we figured out that it was the depletion of ground water that was driving this tremendous water loss. northern india lives from the water that comes from the rivers of the himalayas. but the climate crisis is changing the water supply at an unimaginable speed. even if it doesn't look like it at 1st glance, water last here is almost the highest in the world. because the soil in the region is particularly fertile, boone jobs, agriculture can still feed up to 1000000000 people. but the decline in water availability is now threatening the entire subcontinent model that, that brought about that or possibly get the got the idea. our ancestors all formed by the associated that for our grandparents, the ground water was right under ground. that when we started, it had already fallen 3 meters. i've put a

hydrologist and the executive director of the global institute for water security at the university of saskatchewan. he's also been a key figure and a joint research mission launched by nasa. the u. s. space agency and d l are it's german counterpart. what we see here is an animation of how the grace mission works there to little satellites. each one is about a meter taller and they're separated by about 200 kilometers. that really work like a scale in the sky. in that they respond to the mass of water on the ground. when a region is losing water, it exerts slightly less of a gravitational tug on the satellites, and they float a little bit higher in their orbits. so by keeping track of the ups and downs of the satellites, we can map out the reaches around the world that are gaining and losing water mass . and we've been doing this for 20 years now. what might sound like science fiction is reality. the scientists have been recording massive water losses worldwide. they can forecast droughts and identify which regions are drying out even before the effects are at all tangible. the grace mission shows

i'm the executive director of the global institute for water security at the university of saskatchewan. i'm a hydrologist. i haven't been down there in a while and to see how things have changed, how things have dried out since since i left california in 2018. really incredible from nowhere is the impact of wastewater on nature, more evident than in the imperial irrigation district. one of the largest agricultural areas in north america. it's manmade and in the middle of a desert, you really need to get out at this agricultural regions to really understand their vast expense. that's true in the central valley. it's true in its true in the imperial irrigation district, you get out there and these feels just stretch and stretch and stretch for miles and miles. and that's when you realize just how much water is being spread over the surface to green up the desert. the imperial irrigation district spreads $3.00 trillion leaders of water per year in the region. meanwhile, 40000000 local people face water shortages and nature is drying up the runoff from all the agricultural field gets chann
