Groundwater is a key resource for water users in California’s Central Valley, a major agricultural hub with an economic output of tens of billions of dollars annually. Surface deformation in the ...

Researchers from Princeton University and the University of Arizona have created a simulation that maps underground water on a continental scale. The result of three years' work studying groundwater ...

Dalhousie researchers have revealed how Arctic aquifers—permeable layers of the ground that store and transmit water to rivers, lakes and terrestrial ecosystems—behave today and how these vital ...

New Dalhousie research reveals how Arctic permafrost aquifers that store and move groundwater are expected to shift as ...

The aridity index is an invaluable tool used for estimating how dry (or how humid) a location is based on the precipitation and evapotranspiration occurring in the area. It is useful for predicting ...

Combining direct measurements with artificial intelligence methods, a new map estimates groundwater depth across the continental United States at a resolution of around 30 meters (98 feet). How much ...

While a drought may quickly become evident in inhabited regions that depend on regular rain, when remote parts of the world undergo a dry spell it might not become obvious for a long time, if ever. To ...

Depleted groundwater threatens communities, agriculture, and ecosystems in California’s Central Valley, which produces much of the nation’s fruit, vegetables, and nuts. But the same acres where ...
