Balancing groundwater use between crops and ecosystems
Original: Balancing groundwater for crop production and a healthy environment
New research highlights the trade-off between pumping groundwater for crop production and preserving the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems that depend on it. The study points to the need for management strategies that meet food demand while keeping groundwater-dependent environments healthy, as over-extraction in many farming regions continues to lower water tables.
Why now: Groundwater depletion from irrigation is a growing global concern as droughts and food demand intensify.
