Скачать или смотреть Arizona's groundwater crisis deepens, study warns | FOX 10 Phoenix

A study using NASA satellites found the Colorado River Basin is depleting rapidly, losing water equal to Lake Mead's capacity in 20 years, with the drought cited as a primary cause.

Satellites capable of detecting changes in the Earth's gravitational field provided data on groundwater levels. Yet, some farmers contend that their on-the-ground measurements do not align with this satellite data.

Farmers, like Nancy Caywood, dispute the severity and cause, noting their conservation efforts and citing other data suggesting some areas show increasing groundwater levels.

FOX 10's Steve Nielsen has the details.
