The water stored under surface is very important to define the amount of water available for human and environmental applications. However, it is still a challenge to obtain measurements. NASA’s GRACE satellites provide information on total terrestrial water storage based on observations of gravity changes. Here, we relate GRACE data with streamflow measurements, providing estimations of the fraction of baseflow and total drainable storage for the Mississippi River Basin.
