The Crisis
Droughts impact many Americans
The US is facing unprecedented drought and mega drought conditions. Although surface water is seen and felt, groundwater plays an extremely important role in water resources.
While the two vary greatly in volume, they are linked — when one is overdrawn, it drastically impacts the other — resulting in significant loss of water supply, damage to the environment, and other negative consequences. These implications reverberate throughout our habitats, throughout our communities, and impact our families.
