Against the backdrop of stabilized aquifer systems supported by historical data, the researchers highlight the potential for positive change in the area.

Scientists have analyzed the world’s groundwater reserves. Lead author Debra Perrone noted that their study, which covers more than 1,700 aquifers, is the world’s largest analysis of global groundwater levels, Science Daily wrote.

Over the course of three years, scientists collected and analyzed data from millions of water level measurements in 1.5 million wells over the past 100 years.

Groundwater levels are declining in 71% of aquifers, and the rate of depletion is accelerating. The problem is especially acute in arid and semi-arid regions.

In 16% of aquifer systems, groundwater levels have stabilized or recovered. These positive examples show that with focused effort, very negative trends can be reversed.

Remember that scientists from Newcastle University in the UK said that by the end of the century, about half of the 215 thousand glaciers will disappear from the surface of the Earth.
