A new satellite will soon provide more precise and vital data on how much water is available on Earth’s surface.
California has spent most of the last two decades in drought. California recorded its driest first three months of the year on record to start 2022, and by September nearly all of California was in drought.
Del Bosque alluded better predictions for water can also provide better data to California's agriculture labor market and prevent mass layoffs like the ones he had last year. As 40% of his land went unplanted under the bone-dry conditions in 2022, several hundred people lost their jobs on his farm. Dr. Hamlington hoped the SWOT project will bring societal benefits to Del Bosque and others who depend on water supplies.
