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.
