Since 2002, an area twice the size of California has been drying out annually. These newly merged dry zones now span entire continents and threaten the water security of billions. In a major new study, scientists from Arizo…

Earth's freshwater drying up at unprecedented rate, according to university study - Ground Water Canada

Satellite observation studies show the earth’s continents have been experiencing an unprecedented loss of freshwater since 2002. The Arizona State University studynotes climate change, unsustainable groundwater use and extreme drought have contributed to the significant loss of freshwater. Researchers claim the rate of drying land is equivalent to twice the size of California every year. Technology Networks report
