A wave of new research using decades of NASA satellite data has uncovered a dramatic and unprecedented loss of freshwater across the planet. Scientists have found that over the past 20 years, Earth's continents are drying out rapidly, with groundwater depletion, climate change, and overconsumption driving the crisis. Four massive 'mega-drying' regions have emerged, and more than 75% of the world's population now lives in areas where drinking water is decreasing. This loss of groundwater not only threatens food and water security but is also now a major contributor to rising sea levels, surpassing the impact of melting glaciers. Experts warn that urgent action is needed to manage water resources and prevent a worsening global crisis.
