NASA | Earth's Water Cycle

Water is the fundamental ingredient for life on Earth. Looking at our Earth from space, with its vast and deep ocean, it appears as though there is an abundance of water for our use. However, only a small portion of Earth's water is accessible for our needs. How much fresh water exists and where it is stored affects us all. This animation uses Earth science data from a variety of sensors on NASA Earth observing satellites as well as cartoons to describe Earth's water cycle and the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.
Sensors on a suite of NASA satellites observe and measure water on land, in the ocean and in the atmosphere. These measurements are important to understanding the availability and distribution of Earth's water -- vital to life and vulnerable to the impacts of climate change on a growing world population.
NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information Systems (EOSDIS)
EOSDIS is a distributed system of twelve data centers and science investigator processing systems. EOSDIS processes, archives, and distributes data from Earth observing satellites, field campaigns, airborne sensors, and related Earth science programs. These data enable the study of Earth from space to advance scientific understanding.

[@summerbreeze5438]

Excellent video! We learned much of this in science class, but I had no idea that NASA monitored the world's water. I haven't given enough thought to what may happen if the world starts to have less and less potable water! Water will become like gold!

Exactly Abby, water and energy locally...to produce the essential in our life, cereals and food locally...
Without the future banksters of the current market.
Our real future need to make us free from the financial kingdom.
The Tea Party and the GOP for example is a extremist part of this future tyranny.

You may be surprised to know that at one point I considered myself to be one of them! Perhaps because in some ways I'm conservative. However maybe not nearly as much as I thought. As I open my eyes and learn more....

[@jean-micheldumay1134]

Abby H
The great difficulty is to be right and itself...
A conservative attitude is not wrong for everything. We are surrounded by many circumstances who need a capacity of evolution and adaptation greater than we can
frequently...and we need more knowledge and wisdom to get a comprehensive attitude without submission to a common thinking
from the medias...

[@tomcata1467]

The Bible accurately depicted the Water Cycle or Hydrologic Cycle, thousands of years ago.......just read Ecclesiastes chapter 1, verse 7, where is states that "every river flows into the sea, but, the sea is not yet full. The water returns to where the rivers began, and starts all over again". While the Bible is not primarily a scientific book, where it touches upon scientific fact, it is quite accurate.......There are many more examples of it's scientific accuracy......
