"Over and over again, we see places where groundwater is being depleted," said Debra Perrone, an associate professor of environmental studies at UC Santa Barbara and one of the study's lead authors. "Where we're really seeing these trends is where we have arid climates."
"Our work demonstrates that rapid and accelerating groundwater declines are widespread but not inevitable," said Scott Jasechko, a co-author and UCSB associate professor of water resources. "Declines can be slowed, stopped, and even reversed, but much work needs to be done to address groundwater depletion."
