The human fingerprint on the freshwater landscape - through climate change, ice melt, changing extremes, and groundwater depletion - is a dominant force that is dramatically changing patterns of water availability. This change – and with it, major threats to water and food security -- is happening far more rapidly than most people realize.

Implications

• Food producing regions in a state of ‘chronic water scarcity.’
• Distinct classes of water ‘haves and have nots’ are emerging
• Hydrogeological exploration of the world’s major aquifers
• Groundwater is a critical element of national and international water supplies
• Regional groundwater problems require regional solutions
