00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,070
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.

00:00:28,770 --> 00:00:30,497
