from VOA English · host VOA English
The Earth is losing some of its prime freshwater resources. But these are not lakes or rivers. They’re known as aquifers and are found deep underground. Some are so deep that even very heavy rains cannot seep down and replenish them. Many aquifers are used to irrigate crops, not only for domestic consumption, but for international consumption, as well. A new study warns these water deposits are being depleted and could affect food security and economies around the world. VOA’s Joe De Capua reports.
