Greenwire: A large swath of Central Valley is sinking as farms pump groundwater in the face of searing drought, sparking a scramble for solutions as forecasts show no end to dry conditions. So says the U.S. Geological Survey, whose research shows land near the San Joaquin River sank by nearly a foot per year from 2008 to 2010, one of the most dramatic rates ever measured in the San Joaquin Valley.

Dhaka Tribune: Salinity intrusion into the aquifers of the countrys coastal districts has reached an alarming proportion due to unplanned use of groundwater in agriculture and seawater seeping into underground due to sea-level rise caused by global warming. Weve assessed the quality and quantity data of groundwater up to 1,100 feet deep in 19 costal districts. But, weve found saline water in aquifers within just 600-700 feet deep, deputy director (Groundwater Hydrology) at Bangladesh Water Development Board...

The aquifers, located hundreds of feet underground in the Turkana region that borders Ethiopia and South Sudan, contain billions of gallons of water, according to UNESCO, which confirmed the existence of the subterranean lakes discovered with the help of a French company using technology originally...
