NASA Airborne Mission Helps Manage Water Supplies in California
From United Press International:
“NASA says an airborne mission helped water managers for 2.6 million Californians achieve near-perfect water operations this summer.
“Despite the driest year in California’s recorded history, high-resolution snow maps of the Tuolumne River Basin in the Sierra Nevada provided by the prototype Airborne Snow Observatory mission helped optimize reservoir filling and hydroelectric generation at a reservoir and dam that serves the San Francisco Bay Area, the space agency reported Monday.”
