$Explorations Episode 1: GRACE: Earths Hidden Water It’s difficult to measure the depletion of water reservoirs when they are underground. NASA has come up with a creative solution measuring changes in Earth’s gravity from space. Wet ground has more mass than dry ground, just like how a wet sponge is heavier than a dry one. This means that wet ground has a larger gravitational pull than dry ground. By measuring this fractional change, a pair of NASA satellites, called the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission, have been mapping our remaining underground water reservoirs across the globe.
