However, despite their importance, no regionally relevant map of aquifers was available for the United States. We created a new database of more than 400 aquifers across the United States. These spatial data can help improve water quality and quantity management. Next, let's explore 12 aquifers...
The High Plains Aquifer (HPA) in the central United States is one of the largest and most stressed aquifer systems in the world. It supports a $20 billion economy, but groundwater use is unsustainable over much of the aquifer. Emerging cloud computing tools like Google Earth Engine (GEE) ...

It is known as the largest freshwater reservoir on Earth and accounts for over 30% of global freshwater resources (Frappart et al., 2019). Groundwater provides drinking water to at least 50% of the global population dominated by countries such as China, Mexico, India United States etc (...
The Mississippi Embayment aquifer system (MEAS) and the Coastal Lowlands aquifer system (CLAS) are two principal aquifers in the US Gulf Coastal Plain. Despite their importance to the region, a comprehensive characterization of these aquifers has not been achieved yet. In this study, the horizon...
