Washington: Beneath northern India’s irrigated fields of wheat, rice, and barley — beneath its densely populated cities of Jaiphur and New Delhi, the groundwater has been disappearing. Halfway around the world, hydrologists, including Matt Rodell of NASA, have been hunting for it.
According to Rodell it is being pumped and consumed by human activities — principally to irrigate cropland faster than the aquifers can be replenished by natural processes. They based their conclusions published in issue of Nature on observations from NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE).
