Groundwater depletion during drought threatens future water security of the Colorado River Basin

The Colorado River basin is the most widely distributed river in the world. Recent evaluation suggests that demand for such renewable resources will soon exceed supply, suggesting that limited groundwater resources play an increasingly important role in meeting future water demand ing. Here we analyze the observation results of gravity restoration and climate experiment missions of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for nine years (from December 2004 to November 2013), and groundwater continues during the continuous drought ... continue Read

Since scientific papers do not have a major impact on the headline, unless I've never heard of the name "future water safety in the Colorado River basin during the future groundwater depletion where there is a danger of drought," recently California It will be allowed at the university. Published - Researchers of Irvine and NASA. However, "water security in the Colorado River Basin" is an important concept when 40 million people from the Colorado River depend on drinking water, such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Tucson residents, San Diego . . Or if you want to eat vegetables such as broccoli, broccoli, spinach in winter. Colorado flows from Rocky Mountains to Mexico through many diversions, dams, canals, reservoirs. One-third of winter vegetable production

In many places, groundwater is naturally discharged to the surface of the earth, it foams into natural springs, or contributes to rivers and wetlands. Because groundwater is a valuable buffer material especially during drought, it often plays an essential role in maintaining rivers and streams. Many ecosystems, including our representative ecosystems, are dependent on groundwater
