The World's Freshwater Resources Drop to Troubling Low

Summary

Nutrition label

88% Informative

The Earth lost 290 cubic miles ( 1,200 cubic km ) of freshwater in 2015 , or 250% of Lake Erie’s volume.

Eight years later , the lost water has not been replenished, even after the relative cooling of the 2020 to 2023 La Niña cycle.

The near-decade of drying coincides with the nine warmest years in the modern climate record, making a strong case that the freshwater loss is a direct result of climate change.

13 of the 30 worst droughts observed by the GRACE satellites since 2002 occurred in 2015 or later.

Droughts are believed to have been exacerbated by climate change-related evaporation.

Intense drying began in northern and central Brazil in 2014 , followed by similar conditions in Australia , Southeast Asia .
