"This is a lot of water to lose.
We thought that the picture could be pretty bad, but this was
shocking," said lead study author Stephanie Castle, a water resources
specialist at the University of California, Irvine.
"We don't know exactly how much groundwater we have left, so we don't know when we're going to run out," added Castle.
NASA said the study is "the first to quantify the amount that groundwater contributes to the water needs of western states."
