Based on NASA/German Aerospace Center Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (Grace), California has had major groundwater loss due to pumping and consumption of groundwater by humans. The twin Grace satellites monitor tiny month-to-month changes in Earth's gravity field which provides new insights into how Earth's water cycle may be changing. Grace data is highly useful for California water managers that can make informed decisions about allocating water resources.
