Groundwater use in agriculture risks aquifer over-exploitation: Managing water at the local level in Mexico to buffer against global change
This fact sheet describes research on the spatial distribution of groundwater and surface water use in Mexican agriculture. It argues that managing water resources at the municipality scale, rather than the larger river basin or aquifer scale used by the National Water Commission, is essential for identifying where demand management is required versus where water reallocations can mitigate aquifer over-exploitation.
