The researchers used data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites to map
monthly changes in mass within the watershed from 2003 to 2012.

Monthly measurements
in the
change in water
mass from December 2004 to November 2013 revealed the basin lost nearly 53 million acre feet (65 cubic kilometers) of freshwater, almost double the volume of the nation's largest reservoir, Nevada's Lake Mead.
So the researchers used
monthly data from the satellite mission GRACE, or the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, which measures components
in the Earth's
mass system such as ocean currents, earthquake - induced
changes and melting ice.
