Hmmm, I would think the massive sucking dry of the aquifers by farms and cities using massive pumping schemes would be more to blame. Once you pull the aquifer

Once you pull the aquifer down far enough, the surface starts to dry up, plants stop holding the soil together, the microclimate changes, which reduces the water capture, etc, etc.
