Global Maps of Dryness Help Prepare for Water Use Around Globe

The video explains gravity's role in Earth's orbit and water tracking through the GRACE mission. It highlights how advanced models forecast water availability, aiding in drought and flood preparation. Case studies from Okavango, Australia, and Europe illustrate the impact of climate events on water resources. NASA's global monitoring helps manage water extremes.
