A study led by NASA researchers provides new estimates of the world's river water storage and discharge levels. Data on how much water courses through Earth's rivers, the rates at which it's flowing into the ocean, and how much both of those figures have fluctuated over time provides crucial information for understanding the planet's water cycle and managing its freshwater supplies, says NASA, wh.
