Groundwater Crisis: It's Worse Than We Thought

Did you know we're draining the planet's underground water so fast it's now raising sea levels more than melting glaciers? Scientists say we're losing an area twice the size of California every year to mega-drying, and 3 out of 4 people live where freshwater is vanishing. Once that ancient groundwater is gone, it's not coming back anytime soon. Time to rethink those long showers and thirsty lawns! #Science #WaterCrisis #ClimateChange

Large scale desalination is the only answer. California should be removed completely from Colorado River water

stop pumping water so big bottling plants can make billions, water needs to be running to stay fresh, not running on back of trucks!💕dead water sitting on store shelves has to stop. if 80% of bottled water is actually filtered tap water. then filter it at home! why buy, Purify!

Ok so I have a question. Even if this is happening and ocean Levels Are rising how is it that nobody is harvesting purified water from the oceans and seas to wave the earth from drought. Don’t give me this BS about not having the technology. We all know it exists and with all the other tech in the world the govt has it. Maybe several govt’s

One ethanol plant uses 20,000,000 gallons a day that’s a lot of waste of water

cut off Cali(a desert) and that would probably solve the problem in the US. Quit trying to make the deserts into something they are not.

Man is the worst enemy of this planet. Anything that can be turn into money regardless of the consequences is what man is after. The results are beginning to surface. 🤔

Desalination plants are not the right answer. Atmospheric water generators are more economical if you consider the cost of disposing of the brine or salt after you desalinate seawater. Another option is for air conditioners to be more efficient and reclaim the water produced through condensation. Every home could produce a few quarts of pure water daily. A quart is not much but other less pure water can be used for cleaning purposes.

Hmmmmm. And all the Recent Record Rainfalls and Floods happening across the Country and the World aren’t helping to replenish the Ground Waters????? 🤔
