  • Globally, groundwater use has increased to meet the needs of irrigation, urban supply, industrialization, and occasionally electricity generation, serving as a strategic resource for climate adaptation as surface water is replaced due to hydroclimatic variability.
  • In Mexico, the provision of nighttime electricity at rates lower than already subsidized agricultural tariffs led producers to increase groundwater pumping, which countered progress made in water and electricity conservation.
  • Indiscriminate groundwater pumping in Mexico, including the export of virtual water via agricultural production, threatens long-term aquifer sustainability, non-agricultural water uses, and riparian ecosystems. Emissions from agricultural groundwater extraction in Mexico are estimated at 3.6% of total national emissions, equaling the emissions generated by transporting that produce to market.
