Fresh groundwater flow important for coastal ecosystems Date: March 9, 2020 Source: University of Göttingen Summary: Groundwater is the largest source of freshwater, one of the world's most ...

Groundwater input to coral reefs directly affects water chemistry and triggers a cascade of changes in the coastal ecosystem, according to a new study led by University of Hawaiʻi (UH) at Mānoa ...

California Crop-rich California region may fall under state monitoring to preserve groundwater flow Limits were first imposed after problems arose from years of drought and overpumping ...

Although the benefits of groundwater development are many, groundwater pumping can reduce the flow of water in connected streams and rivers -- a process called streamflow depletion by wells.

While total baseflow remains constant between the two scenarios, average rate of groundwater discharge to streams decreases by 7%. These findings indicate that there may be declines in groundwater ...

Groundwater accounts for around 30 per cent of the world’s freshwater, making it an important resource for addressing current global issues, such as world population growth, agricultural ...

Too much groundwater use could push over half of pumped watersheds past an ecological tipping point by 2050, compromising aquatic ecosystems worldwide.

Researchers led by Göttingen University developed the first global computer model of groundwater flow into the world's oceans. Their analysis shows 20% of the world's coastal ecosystems ...
