A wave of new research using decades of NASA satellite data has uncovered a dramatic and accelerating loss of freshwater across Earth's continents. Scientists warn that over the past 20 years, climate change, overpumping of groundwater, and increased evaporation have caused unprecedented drying of land and depletion of underground aquifers. This rapid loss is not only threatening drinking water supplies for billions but is also now contributing more to sea level rise than melting glaciers. Four massive 'mega-drying' regions have been identified, all in the Northern Hemisphere, highlighting the global scale of the crisis. Experts urge immediate action to manage water resources and adapt to a future where water scarcity becomes a defining challenge.
