We heard so much about the widespread and lingering drought affecting over 69% of the contiguous United States. Whether or not the drought continues through the winter remains to be seen. Many western areas in the United States depend upon abundant winter snow to provide much of their water in spring and summer.
I was catching up on reading and one link lead to another. Ultimately I arrived at the article below (click the link) about the US drought and the NASA-JPL GRACE Mission. Fascinating technology. It's also a timely post as we just finished up Chp. 6 - Running Water and Groundwater.
