Abstract:
Groundwater depletion is emerging as one of the most pressing environmental and socio-economic issues of the 21st century, driven by rapid population growth and increasing demand for freshwater. Groundwater supplies about 30% of the world's freshwater, but in many regions, it is being extracted faster than it can naturally replenish.
This research highlights the need for a more integrated approach that includes sustainable groundwater management, accurate climate monitoring, and a broader understanding of the complex relationship between water resources and climate. Groundwater depletion is not only a water crisis but also a climate crisis that demands immediate and comprehensive attention.
