Satellite-based estimates of groundwater depletion in India
Matthew Rodell,Isabella Velicogna,Isabella Velicogna,Isabella Velicogna,James S. Famiglietti +4 more
TL;DR: The available evidence suggests that unsustainable consumption of groundwater for irrigation and other anthropogenic uses is likely to be the cause of groundwater depletion in northwest India and the consequences for the 114,000,000 residents of the region may include a reduction of agricultural output and shortages of potable water, leading to extensive socioeconomic stresses.

Yeh,Ian P. Holman,Holger Treidel +25 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors critically review recent research assessing the impacts of climate on ground water through natural and human-induced processes as well as through groundwater-driven feedbacks on the climate system, and highlight the possible opportunities and challenges of using and sustaining groundwater resources in climate adaptation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The global groundwater crisis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that groundwater depletion the world over poses a far greater threat to global water security than is currently acknowledged, and propose a solution to this problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging trends in global freshwater availability.

TL;DR: Analysis of 2002–2016 GRACE satellite observations of terrestrial water storage reveals substantial changes in freshwater resources globally, which are driven by natural and anthropogenic climate variability and human activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellite mission to estimate water storage changes in California's Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basins and found that the basins are losing water at a rate of 31.0 ± 2.7 mm yr−1 equivalent water height, equal to a volume of 30.9 km3.
