North America’s most populous city is sinking fast under its own weight, and has already sunk too low to be saved.

In Colorado, drilling for oil and natural gas using hydraulic fracturing, sometimes referred to as fracking, is big business. But questions about its impact on the air and water are far from settled. With support from the National...

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...

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...

In episode 47, Jordan and Charlie explore how scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have solved the longstanding mystery about how some fish “disappear” from their predators. A fish’s ability to go invisible in polarized light...

Snacktime with NASA digs into the science behind what’s on your plate from a tasty cheese board, to seafood, to fresh produce, to chips and dip. Food can bring us a sense of home, and it connects people all around the world. With...

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...

This episode discusses dwindling groundwater resources in India.

Using measurements from two satellite missions assimilated into a computer model, researchers have created global maps of terrestrial water around the planet. In addition, they can forecast water availability in the United States up to...

Explore the shady habitat of the Tropical Hardwood Hammock with Ranger Jenny.

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...

Landsat is not the only satellite orbiting Earth and sending back data. It takes a team of data sets to get the full picture of what’s happening down on the surface of Earth. Episode 4 shows how Landsat is combined with other data sets...

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 through...

Researchers at New York University are tackling one of the major challenges in agriculture: How to raise healthy plants while minimizing the use of fertilizer and the leaching of fertilizer chemicals into the environment. With support...

The Sun, Water Cycle, & Climate shows us how the sun produces heat to drive the water cycle. It's made clear that the water cycle continues in the absence of sunlight or heat. We learn how the two components of climate- temperature and...

In this live-action video students will learn that Industrial Food and Livestock Production is a way of producing large quantities of food at a faster rate than traditional farming. They will come to understand that Industrial farming...

It explains the use and amount of water needed in our daily life and identifies the various sources of water.

The irrigation that grows crops, especially in dry countries, can also be responsible for taxing aquifers beyond their capacities. Groundwater depletion is embedded in the international food trade, with countries exporting crops grown...

The water that comes from your tap is 3000x cheaper than what you can buy in a store... so why are Americans willing to spend money on it?

A career in engineering is a great way to solve problems that help people, society, the environment and more. Join this group from Engineers Without Borders as they travel to Kenya and help villagers build a new well that will provide...

This live-action video program is about drought. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the term through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and...

This video explores the innovative engineering solutions being used by the Orange County Water District to replenish the groundwater basin and provide safe drinking water to the cities in Orange County. The video also highlights the...

The video discusses the sources of water, including surface water and groundwater, and how they are distributed in different parts of the world. It also highlights the factors that influence water distribution and the importance of...
