How much fresh water is in the United States? It's a tough question, since most of the water is underground, accessible at varying depths. In previous decades, it's been answered indirectly from data ...

Groundwater evapotranspiration (ETGW) and water table dynamics represent a pivotal interplay between subsurface hydrological processes and the atmospheric demands of evaporation and plant ...

AMHERST — In many places around the country, the water table — that essential but unseen resource — is falling. Massachusetts, on the other hand, is seeing a rise, hydrology researchers from the ...

As climate change pushes seas to rise ever higher, shallow groundwater could become a more costly hazard across the Atlantic coast, particularly in South Florida where the water table sits just feet ...

Groundwater levels across the American West are at crisis levels thanks to the multi-year drought and climate change.

This story is a part of Understanding Southern Colorado's Groundwater, an occasional series from KRCC about groundwater resources. Read more stories here. As drought and demand affect water resources ...

Groundwater records from the last ice age indicate that aquifers in the U.S. Southwest are more sensitive to global warming than aquifers in the Pacific Northwest. When you purchase through links on ...
