Understanding how irrigated areas change over time is vital to effectively manage limited
agricultural water resources, but long-term, high-resolution, and spatially explicit datasets …

Many agricultural communities depend on groundwater irrigation as a supplemental or
primary water source. However, groundwater resources are finite, and depletion can make …

Industrial ecology (IE) has made great contributions to climate change mitigation research,
in terms of its systems thinking and solid methodologies such as life cycle assessment …

ABSTRACT A rapid decline in water availability for crop production has driven substantial
changes in cropping systems in the arid and semi-arid regions, including transitions from …

Groundwater levels across parts of western Kansas have been declining at unsustainable
rates due to pumping for agricultural irrigation despite water‐saving efforts. Accelerating this …

Much of the agricultural production in the Ogallala Aquifer region relies on groundwater for
irrigation. In addition to declining water levels, weather and climate-driven events affect crop …

Many groundwater construction projects such as South-to-North Water Diversion Project
(SNWDP) were conducted for controlling groundwater overexploitation in the North China …

Efficient irrigation technologies, which seem to promise reduced production costs and water
consumption in heavily irrigated areas, may instead be driving increased irrigation use in …

Arizona has a long history of groundwater use, and there is concern about long term
groundwater sustainability across the state. We explore groundwater trends across Arizona …

This chapter outlines the ideas surrounding sustainable water management and use and the
challenges surrounding future management as climate change intensifies. The major …
