File:Freshwater Losses In The Middle East.ogg
Summary
This visualization shows variations in total water storage from normal, in millimeters, in the Tigris and Euphrates river basins, as measured by NASA's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Recovery_and_Climate_Experiment" class="extiw" title="en:Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment">Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment</a> (GRACE) satellites, from January 2003 through December 2009. Reds represent drier conditions, while blues represent wetter conditions. The effects of the seasons are evident, as is the major drought that hit the region in 2007. The majority of the water lost was due to reductions in groundwater caused by human activities.
