The world is running out of water
Description: In March 2002, NASA launched twin satellites most people have never heard of. They are called GRACE, for gravity recovery and climate experiment. By bouncing signals back and forth between them and the ground, they measure the gravitational field at various points on Earth, which can be uneven. Besides studying Earth's gravitational field for pure scientific information, the twin GRACE satellites have proven to be invaluable in measuring many of Earth's resources, especially its fresh water.
