Scenarios about 'aquifer depletion'
Aquifer depletion refers to the excessive extraction of groundwater from underground reservoirs at rates faster than natural replenishment can occur. This environmental phenomenon threatens water security for agriculture, industry, and human consumption, particularly in regions dependent on aquifers for freshwater supply. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to water management or technological development could significantly alter patterns of aquifer use and subsequent environmental and geopolitical outcomes.
