Regional strategies for the accelerating global problem of groundwater depletion
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of our understanding of groundwater depletion suggests that although the problem is global, solutions must be adapted to specific regional requirements at the aquifer scale, and that the world's largest freshwater resource is groundwater.
Journal ArticleDOI
China's water scarcity
TL;DR: Improving water resource management is a long-term task requiring a holistic approach with constant effort and should be the government's top priority to address the water scarcity issue.

Increased salinization of fresh water in the northeastern United States
Sujay S. Kaushal,Peter M. Groffman,Gene E. Likens,Kenneth T. Belt,William P. Stack,Victoria R. Kelly,Lawrence E. Band,G. T. Fisher +7 more
TL;DR: If salinity were to continue to increase at its present rate due to changes in impervious surface coverage and current management practices, many surface waters in the northeastern United States would not be potable for human consumption and would become toxic to freshwater life within the next century.
