Dr. John Tracy will present highlights of CAST's new issue paper. This CAST report and its one-page Ag quickCAST will also be available as a free download from the CAST website.

Groundwater is the Earth’s most extracted raw material, with almost 1,000 cubic kilometers per year (800 million acre-feet per year) of groundwater pumped from aquifers around the world. This issue paper reviews the causes and consequences of groundwater depletion, with a focus on impacts to agriculture as the largest sector of groundwater use. This understanding can aid in developing effective policies and practices for groundwater development, use, and management. Before groundwater depletion can be addressed, however, a basic understanding of the principles of groundwater occurrence and behavior is necessary.
