Isn't this problem an old one? I remember seeing a graph of water reserves in aquifers through time and it looked very scary

When you have farming in dry areas using the water in the aquafirs too much that they cannot be replenished, and grow crops that need a lot of water you have these problems. Once the water dries up they will move to other areas, on and on. One day we will learn, let's just hope climate change does not do irreparable damage.
