NASA scientists have uncovered significant human-driven changes in the global water cycle over the past two decades.

Around three-quarters of the Earth is covered in water. Water is a valuable natural resource. It can be used to water crops and grow food, as drinking water, for washing and even for transporting ...

Water does all this without leaving Earth. Its quantity is virtually constant. The main processes involved in this cycle are evaporation, plant transpiration, condensation, precipitation (rain and ...

New research reveals that drought and increased temperatures in a CO2-rich climate can dramatically alter how grasslands use and move water. The study provides the first experimental demonstration of ...

Over two thirds of the Earth is covered in water. Water is vital to support all life on the planet. Water never leaves the Earth and its atmosphere. It simply moves around in what is called the ...

"If we want to predict the effects of climate change on Earth's water resources, we need data showing how the hydrologic cycle will respond ... In addition, plants subjected to these future ...
