Pages 6-13 | Published online: 21 Jul 2011
 

Abstract

Groundwater is a significant and sensitive natural resource. About half of the population of the United States depends on groundwater for part or all of its drinking water supply. But groundwater supplies are being threatened by pollution and by depletion due to pumping at a rate that exceeds the rate of natural recharge. The future availability and quality of groundwater depends on sound management now.
