NASA launched the SWOT satellite in December to conduct the first global survey of water levels in rivers and lakes. This data is intended to help industries and farmers plan for changes in river flow, particularly along the Mississippi River where cargo shipments are affected by water levels. NASA aims to provide processed indicators rather than raw data to assist in agricultural irrigation planning.

Low water levels on the Mississippi River are forcing farmers to use more expensive truck transport, potentially driving up food prices. Meanwhile, Senator Mark Kelly described the Western drought as a thousand-year event. In response to energy concerns, there is a growing push toward "green hydrogen" as a replacement for electric vehicles, though critics note hydrogen production currently relies heavily on fossil fuels.
