Copertina de Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD): Drying Wells, Rising Stakes - Towards Sustainable Agricultural Groundwater Use (PDF)

Groundwater has provided great benefits to agriculture irrigation in semi-arid OECD countries, but its intensive use beyond recharge in certain regions has depleted resources and generated significant negative environmental externalities. The report provides a characterisation of the diversity of groundwater systems, reviews policies in OECD countries, and proposes a package of recommendations to ensure that groundwater can sustain its services to agriculture and contribute to climate change adaptation.
