A wave of new research using decades of NASA satellite data has revealed that Earth's continents are losing freshwater at an unprecedented rate. The main drivers are climate change, overpumping of groundwater, and increased evaporation due to rising temperatures. This rapid depletion is not only threatening drinking water supplies for billions but is also now contributing more to sea level rise than melting glaciers. Four major 'mega-drying' regions have been identified, all in the Northern Hemisphere, highlighting the scale and urgency of the crisis. Experts warn that if current trends continue, water scarcity could become one of the most severe global challenges of the 21st century.
