Water storage maps show improvement
Description: In 2012, the continental United States suffered through one of its worst droughts in decades. Nearly 80 percent of the nation's farm, orchard, and grazing land was affected in some way, and 28 percent experienced extreme to exceptional drought. As another summer arrives in North America, surface water conditions have improved in many places, but drought has persisted or deepened in others. Underground, the path out of drought is much slower. [Source: NASA Climate Change News]
