•'A harbinger of what's to come:' NASA satellites show massive drop in global freshwater levels
77% Informative
Since 2015 , our planet's lakes, rivers and aquifers have lost 290 cubic miles ( 1,200 cubic km ) of fresh water.
This drop coincided with a 2014 to 2016 period of El Niño warming.
Scientists typically expect freshwater levels to rebound after the climate oscillation ends.
But satellite measurements, made up to 2023 , reveal that the freshwater levels have yet to recover.
