This video discusses the potential water crisis in Singapore due to climate change. It explores the various ways Singapore obtains its water and how climate change can disrupt these sources. The focus is on the impact of plankton blooms...

Scientists say the increased melting of arctic freshwater is causing an imbalance in the salinity of seawater, and this could lead to plummeting temperatures in the northern hemisphere.

Researchers in the University of Flinders in Australia have found vast reserves of low-salt water beneath the seabed. Rivers and rain water over the past hundreds of thousands of years infiltrated the ground to form aquifers. Even as sea...

A film that describes how the Greater Everglades Ecosystem historically functioned, how humans have re-engineered the system, and how Everglades restoration will improve the overall health and resilience of this special place.

This video highlights the water-intensive nature of textile mills globally, particularly in Bangladesh. It discusses the significant amount of water consumed by these mills and the resulting pollution of the Ganges river. It also...

Drinking Fresh Water From A Salty Ocean, Part 4

From space, satellites such as the NASA and USGS Landsat 8 can help scientists identify where an algal bloom has formed in lakes or rivers. It’s a complicated data analysis process, but one that researchers are...

This video is answering the question of what type of water do different fish live in.

This video discusses the global water crisis and the efforts being made to protect the Citarum River in Indonesia from industrial pollution. It highlights the ambitious goal set by President Joko Widodo to make the river safe for...

Water on Earth focuses on water as most kids would think about it. We start with water in obvious locations such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. We quickly learn that water can change phase to remain a solid in glaciers. Many kids may be...

Droughts can create ideal conditions for wildfires. Dry trees and vegetation provide fuel. Low soil and air moisture make it easier for fires to spread quickly. In these conditions, a spark from lightning,...

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is an international satellite mission to provide next-generation observations of rain and snow worldwide every three hours. NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will launch...

When we look into the vastness of space, our home planet stands out in many ways. One of the most crucial is the presence of abundant, accessible freshwater -- as a liquid, solid and gas. Water helps make our planet...

Built at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., the GPM spacecraft travelled roughly 7,300 miles (11,750 kilometers) to its launch site at Tanegashima Space Center on Tanegashima Island, Japan, where it is scheduled for...

Video about Everglades restoration project in Cape Sable funded by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) (10 min. with closed-captions).

Somewhere around 470 million years ago, something happened that shouldn’t have been particularly striking. An algae found its way onto land. This algae turned the lands of this earth green, altered the chemistry of our atmosphere, and...

Freshwater seems abundant, but when accounting for all the water on Earth, it's in limited supply. Just three percent of the water on our planet is freshwater. A majority of this water, about two percent of the world total, is...

Tardigrades have been through a lot. They’ve been sent to the moon. They’ve had the moisture sapped out of them. At times, they’ve been in extreme heat. And at other times, they’ve had to contend with extreme cold. Well, today, we’ve got...

With limited resources to dedicate to monitoring for harmful algal blooms, water managers are looking to new technologies from NASA and its partners to detect and monitor potential hazards in lakes and reservoirs. Music:...

NASA's satellite imagery and model forecasts play an important role in monitoring the performance of crops worldwide and preparing for food shortages. NASA's view from space helps government agencies forecast food...

The visualization shows variations in total water storage from normal, in millimeters, in the Tigris and Euphrates river basins, as measured by NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites, from January 2003...

Asia's high mountains are a crucial freshwater source to one-seventh of the world's population. Snow and glaciers in these mountains contain the largest volume of freshwater outside of Earth's polar ice sheets,...
