The novel approach to estimating river water storage and discharge also identifies regions marked by ‘fingerprints’ of intense water use. A study led by NASA researchers provides new estimates of how much water courses through Earth’s rivers, the rates at which it’s flowing into the ocean, and ho

The Colorado River basin was flagged as a region depleted due to heavy water use, as was the Amazon in South America.

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 26, 2024 - NASA has spearheaded a significant study that recalibrates our understanding of global river water volumes, offering new estimates on river flow and storage vital for managing the Earths freshwater

A new study by North Carolina State University researchers used artificial intelligence to predict where flood damage is likely to happen in the continental United States, suggesting that recent flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency do not capture the full extent of flood risk.

North Carolina State University used AI to predict potential flood damage and found 790K square miles have a greater risk than FEMA identifies in its maps.

Findings show high probability of flood damage for more than 1 million square miles of land across the United States, far greater than flood risk zones identified in flood maps produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
