Freshwater is disappearing from the Earth at alarming rates: Study

The planet has endured massive freshwater losses over the past two decades due to the combined effects of climate change, overconsumption and drought, a new study has found. Arid land areas are expanding at a rate roughly twice the size of California each year, according to the study, published in Science Advances. Dry spots are now drying up faster than wet areas are getting wetter — reversing historic hydrological patterns, per the research. This continental-scale phenomenon of “mega-drying,” the study authors warned, could have severe consequences on water security, agriculture, sea level rise and global stability. Describing their results as “staggering,” the researchers determined that...
