Sustainability of aquifers supporting irrigated agriculture: a case study of the High Plains aquifer in Kansas
The only means of moderating alarming depletion rates in many of the world’s major aquifers is to reduce pumping. We apply a new water-balance approach to assess the impact of pumping reductions in a portion of the High Plains aquifer in the United States. Although projected aquifer responses to pumping reductions vary, practically achievable reductions would have a large impact throughout the area. These findings demonstrate that modest pumping reductions could greatly enhance prospects for groundwater-supported irrigation in the High Plains aquifer and similar aquifers elsewhere.
