The adjoint of this coupled system of equations (Fig 2) will be used to calculate, with one simulation, the stream depletion due to pumping at any location in the aquifer. The adjoint-based simulation ...

Cities and farmers alike have shown that we can live with less water. Facing severe groundwater depletion in the 1980s, residents of Tucson, Ariz., have managed to reduce their daily Big Gulp from 200 ...

The saturated thickness of the aquifer in Southwestern Kansas is estimated to decrease by 44 feet on average from 2015 to 2050, potentially resulting in losses of $2.2 million per year for the ...

The water in the Ogallala aquifer is worth billions of dollars to western Kansas, but it’s rapidly disappearing. And it's been a challenge to find ways to slow the depletion.

Florida’s aquifer and springs are at risk. Their blue waters are in decline, including loss of flow, excessive algae and so called “brown-outs.” Water Worries: Exploring Florida's freshwater ...
