Abstract

Groundwater depletion is a growing threat to global sustainability, impacting ecosystems, agriculture, and human populations. This viewpoint explores the causes and consequences of unsustainable groundwater extraction, highlighting its far-reaching effects on local and global climates. The paper examines specific examples from various regions worldwide, showcasing the widespread nature of this crisis. It also delves into the challenges associated with accurately measuring global temperature rise due to changes in weather station environments and data collection methods. Finally, the paper emphasizes the urgency to address groundwater depletion and its relation to local and global climate changes.
