  • In a new report, scientists say the U.S. is facing serious challenges as groundwater is depleted in many areas. They call for a national effort to safeguard aquifers.

The article from the Los Angeles Times, published on December 20, 2024, discusses a comprehensive White House report on groundwater management in the United States. The report highlights the critical role of groundwater in sustaining agriculture, drinking water supplies, and ecosystems, especially in the face of climate change and increasing drought conditions. It outlines several key findings: the depletion of major aquifers like the Ogallala Aquifer, the need for sustainable management practices, and the introduction of new federal initiatives aimed at improving groundwater monitoring, conservation, and recharge efforts. The report also emphasizes the importance of local, state, and federal collaboration to address these issues, proposing funding for research into innovative technologies for water conservation and the restoration of depleted aquifers. Additionally, it calls for policy reforms to better manage groundwater resources, ensuring their availability for future generations.
