Researchers have reliable water level measurements for only a few thousand lakes around the world, and little to no data on some of the planet&#8217;s important river systems. The upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite will fill that enormous gap. By helping to provide a better understanding of Earth&#8217;s water cycle, it will both aid in better management of water resources and expand knowledge of how climate change affects lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-07-useuropean-satellite-world-global-freshwater.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">US\u2013European satellite will make world&#8217;s first global freshwater survey<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Water is life, but for all its importance, humanity has a surprisingly limited view of Earth&#8217;s freshwater bodies.
