2 National Aeronautics & NASA Global Water & Food Security Solution Using remote sensing & related tool for improved water management. NASA has a strong provision of free and open exchange of all data. Data are available across political and physical boundaries enabling data sharing. Remote Sensing provides synoptic (local to global) and multi-temporal (retrospective, in near real-time and predictive) capability. Partnering with other groups is optimal for leveraging activities. ISSAFWS
3 National Aeronautics & ISSAFWS
4 National Aeronautics & The Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) GPM is an international network of satellites that provide the next-generation global observations of rain and snow. NASA Water Resources Meeting 4
5 The Global Precipitation (GPM) Mission GPM will provide users with: Global precipitation measurements with improved accuracy, coverage and dynamic range. The next-generation observations of rain and snow worldwide every three hours. Advanced understanding of the water and energy cycles, climate change and climate sensitivity Image Copyright Awesome Inc. template images by Josh Peterson GMP 30 day average rainfall data displayed in Google Earth Improved forecasting capabilities for natural hazards, including floods, droughts and landslides
6 National Aeronautics & The Soil Moisture Active Passive SMAP (SMAP) Mission SMAP will provide global observations of mapped soil moisture and freeze/thaw data with unprecedented accuracy, resolution, and coverage. A primary goal for the SMAP Mission is to engage SMAP end users and build broad support for SMAP applications through a transparent and inclusive process NASA Water Resources Meeting 6
7 The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) SMAP will help users: Mission Understand processes that link the terrestrial water, energy and carbon cycles Estimate global water and energy fluxes at the land surface Quantify net carbon flux in boreal landscapes Enhance weather and climate forecast skill Develop improved flood prediction and drought monitoring capabilities. Provide effective Soil Moisture at the root zone for Rainfed Agriculture. Freeze/thaw state
8 GRACE Satellite Data Combined with Modeling for Aquifer Monitoring The Twin GRACE Satellites Measure Changes in Total Water Storage including Ground Water, Soil Moisture, Snow, and Surface Water. When combined with Land Surface Modeling, GRACE Data can be downscaled to ~25 km Resolution Above: GRACE derived terrestrial water storage anomalies (deviation from the mean at each location), September 2010 surface water & snow soil moisture GRACE measures changes in total terrestrial water storage, including groundwater, soil moisture, snow, and surface water. Rodell- NASA/GSFC GRACE-derived terrestrial water storage change ground water

The study region is outlined GRACE Satellites Monitor Groundwater Depletion Matt Rodell, Code 614.3, NASA GSFC with contributions from Jay Famiglietti (UC Irvine), Isabella Velicogna (UC Irvine), and Sean Swenson (NCAR) Groundwater is a vital source of fresh water. In some parts of the world it is being withdrawn for agricultural, industrial, and domestic uses faster than it is naturally recharged, causing groundwater depletion. We have used the GRACE satellites to identify regions where aquifer levels are declining and to quantify that depletion. Two such locations are northwestern India and central California. Groundwater Groundwater Trend Figure 3: Location of the study region in central California, which consists of three drainage basins. Groundwater Groundwater Trend Date Figure 2: Time series GRACE-estimated groundwater (with linear trend) as an equivalent height of water averaged over the study region in northwest India. Date Figure 4: Time series of GRACE-estimated groundwater (with linear trend) as an equivalent height of water averaged over California s Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Tulare Lake basins.
10 National Aeronautics & NASA Background Efforts for Water Security IPCC Climate Change & Water (2008): Observational records and climate projections provide abundant evidence that freshwater resources are vulnerable and have the potential to be strongly impacted by climate change, with wide-ranging consequences US Government & World Bank MoU (2011): This agreement leverages the considerable expertise and assets of the two partners to help developing countries achieve water security and improve water quality State Department Sponsored Global Water Security (2012):Bottom line:... many countries important to the U.S. will experience water problems shortages, poor water quality, or floods that will risk instability and state failure, increase regional tensions, and distract them from working with the United States. Clinton: This assessment is a landmark document that puts water security in its rightful place as part of national security. NASA Applied Sciences Program: to demonstrate innovative uses and practical benefits of Earth science and remote sensing data, scientific knowledge, and technology. The wars of the next century will be fought over water. World Bank Vice President Ismail Serageldin, ISSAFWS
11 National Aeronautics & NASA Water Resources Builds on Earth Science and Teams with other NASA Groups NASA Emphasis in Applications NASA Terrestrial Hydrology Program. Goal: Develop water remote sensing capabilities, as well as observe and understand the interfaces of these water storages and fluxes. NASA s Energy & Water Cycle Study NEWS - Addresses the extent climate changes that are related to Earths Energy and Water cycle and what trends may be predicted in the future Health & Air Quality Disasters Water Resource s Ecological Forecasting NASA s Modeling, Analysis and Prediction (MAP) Program Studies the Earth s climate and weather, ith particular emphasis on global ISSAFWS 2012 Capacity Building 11

14 INFORMATION NEEDED TO COPE WITH FLOODS Before the event: Soil moisture observations can be used to assess the vulnerability to flooding arising from saturated soils, full reservoirs, etc. Core Satellite GPM Era During the event: precipitation and flow forecasts can provide guidance on the probable magnitude of the flood. Constellation Satellites After the event: Satellites can map the inundated areas and flow measurements can guide the mop-up operations. Targeted path Coincident w/ river reach Laser Altimetry
15 NASA US & International Drought Monitoring User community interactions: NASA Funding Several Projects to Support US Drought Monitor Expedited MODIS Vegetation Drought Response Index (VegDRI) & Soil Moisture Change: USGS/EROS and NDMC have integrated MODIS into the national VegDRI model on a rapid, weekly schedule. JPL automated a procedure to provide Soil Moisture Change updated projects. Prototype Terrestrial Water Storage (TWS) Using GRACE Satellite Data: NASA GSFC and NDMC working to provide GRACE TWS data assimilated in to land surface models for a new key drought indicator including deep soil moisture and ground water. Improvements of USDM are important for users: NOAA NWS uses D2 to trigger drought information statements, IRS for tax deferrals, USDA programmatic usage, and Livestock Forage Disaster Program disbursement ($147,109,381 in 2008, and $77,608,125 in 2009).
