Mike Pearson takes a look at ground water research completed by a group of researchers and the trends revealed.
Groundwater is an essential resource for agriculture, populated areas and ecosystems.
The research showed declining aquifers under certain cities and growing areas.
Scientists have been studying what causes aquifers to rise and fall.
A new study published last week in the journal, “Nature” was a joint project with research from USC-Santa Barbara, Rutgers, UCL- College of London, and the Swiss Federal Research Institute.
The study consisted of over 100,000 monitored well and aquifers.
