The world’s subterranean freshwater reserves are dwindling at an alarming rate, with accelerated groundwater loss observed in a third of the world’s aquifers. This crisis necessitates urgent action and global collaboration to implement sustainable water management practices and mitigate the far-reaching consequences of groundwater depletion.
