A wave of new research using decades of NASA satellite data has uncovered a dramatic and unprecedented loss of freshwater across Earth's continents. Scientists warn that over the past 20 years, climate change, overpumping of groundwater, and worsening droughts have caused rapid drying of land and shrinking aquifers. This loss is so severe that drying land now contributes more to rising sea levels than melting glaciers. Four massive 'mega-drying' regions have been identified, threatening water security for billions and putting food supplies at risk. Experts urge immediate action to manage water resources and address the escalating global water crisis.
