Are you at odds with basic addition or something? We are pumping out the aquifers faster than they recharge. Basic math lets you calculate that they will run out in a few decades.
The aquifers are left over from the ice age. Once depleted, the aquifer will take over 6,000 years to replenish naturally through rainfall.
- explaininjs 3y agoSo we now agree the aquifers have the capacity to refill on human timescales, especially given climate change is suspected to have a tendency to cause more rainfall. And by your omission I’ll take that we agree civilization cannot exist without significant engineering efforts to bring water to it, surface or otherwise. I don’t really know what’s left to say, besides hurling personal attacks back and forth as you seem want to steer this.
