WASHINGTON: Scientists have warned that underground water reserves were shrinking day by day. They said that human activity is leading to the rapid draining of underground water and it was unclear that how much fluid remained in them.
Scientist said that people were utilizing underground water without knowing its consequences. University of California Irvine professor and principal investigator Jay Famiglietti said that available physical and chemical measurements were simply insufficient.
Senior water scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said that people were consuming water reserves rapidly, we needed a coordinated global efforts to determine how much underground water left yet. Scientists warned the situation would only worsen with climate change and population growth. In a water-scarce society we can no longer tolerate this level of uncertainty, especially since groundwater is disappearing so rapidly.
