Demands for groundwater have been growing due to population growth, increasing agricultural production, and shifts in surface water availability.<\/p>\n<p>Groundwater is an essential resource &#8211; supplying over 2 billion people with drinking water and much of the water used for irrigation. Recent studies indicate groundwater reserves in more than half of the world&#039;s largest aquifers have declined since 2003.\u00a0 As groundwater levels decline, shallower wells may go dry. There may also be a reduction in water in streams, lakes, and springs. Groundwater depletion can also lead to land subsidence and deterioration of groundwater quality.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-123856 kc_col-sm-5 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-5\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-179534\" style=\"height: 54px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-503984 kc_shortcode kc_single_image\">\n\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pump_plumbing_water_pump_old_pumping_desert_drought_rustic-515318.jpgd_-225x300.jpg\" class=\"\" alt=\"\" \/>    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-94515 kc_row kc_row_inner\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-314008 kc_col-sm-1 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-1\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-642083 kc_col-sm-10 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-10\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-256747 kc_shortcode kc_single_image\">\n\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/worldwaterspheres.png\" class=\"\" alt=\"\" \/>    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-626979 kc_col-sm-2 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-2\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-34298 kc_col-sm-2 kc_column kc_col-sm-2\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-481681\" style=\"height: 20px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":2953,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4067"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4067"}],"version-history":[{"count":83,"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4407,"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4067\/revisions\/4407"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
